That's just not a thing. So I never had a doubt that I'm going to do it. And well, obviously it's proven that I did. But that was basically... growing up there and 89-ish when it started to crumble and eventually collapsed. And once we had passports, then everybody's like, okay, let's go. Wow.

How did that happen? So once I was in America, I came here without speaking a word of English. So I could say like, yeah, beer. That's it.

Yes. The closest would be Finnish, but we have maybe 30 words, 40, 50 words, I don't know, that rooted in the same word, but not really. So we basically were nomads. Like Attila the Hun, the first wave, and then the second wave was Arpad. That was his name, Arpad. The leader. Arpad? Arpad, yeah. So basically it's North China, Mongolia, that area. The nomads were coming over to Europe.

And so that's how the Huns, Hungarians, the Huns came. So we were barbarians. And then they picked the current territory of Hungary as...

their home base so we're not you know so the European languages we're not connected to them so there's like probably like 12-13 million Hungarians in the world who speak that language it's a very different language logistically it's absolutely different how it's built you know and um Yeah, I didn't speak English.

So I had to learn that wherever I was, I was staying this place where somebody left a book, Sashank Redemption, and I had a Hungarian English dictionary. And I translated this book word by word without any understanding of, you know, grammar or anything. So I translated, probably read the book like 30 times because I always started it over because it started to make sense. And I would watch TV.

I had a little black and white TV in the room. And I put on the closed caption. And I could recognize the words and the pronunciation. And once I could understand English, I would live in Barnes & Noble and Borders and all the bookstores. Because they let me just sit there with a tea. It was the cheapest version. I couldn't afford anything else, right?

So I would have a tea and I would sit in Barnes & Noble and just read. Yeah. Just anything I could devour because all of a sudden I have this library of Eastern philosophy, Mesoamerican philosophy. You know, I read Carlos Castaneda's entire, you know, work three times at least, you know, and then all the books that I could never get in, you know, in Hungary. So that was my just devouring there.
