CROWNS...and BRIDGES!!!

Time was...the only Crown was the King of Hungary, part of the Dual Monarchy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

And...Time Was...Bridge refered to the World Famous Chain Bridge in Budapest across the Danube!

For those going...a little Language brushup is in order.

Since Hungarian is one of the few European Languages that is NOT part of the Indo-European language system...[yes, folks, most Indians are racially CAUCASIAN...the Caucasus Mountains is MIDPOINT between Europe and INDIA...which makes Indian charges of RACISM in connection with "OFFSHORING" a blatant LIE!!!]

Phonetically...

Egan = Yes

Nem = NO!

Eisht un velid = [Via Con Dios] = GO WITH GOD!!!...the classic Good Bye!

And, spend a little extra...visit the more than 140 Spas, fed by Hot Springs, that grace Budapest.

As an aside, "Turkish Bath" refers to the time the Turks ruled Hungary, and set up shop in the Spas of Margaret Island in the middle of the Danube...and, if you have ever gotten a look at Hungarian Women...well, you would appreciate why they were kidnapped as young girls for the Turkish Sultan's Harem.

One such girl, escaping the Harem before being summoned to the Sultan's bed, pilfered a delicasy of the Turks, which perished with the Ottoman Empire...a pecularily SWEET Red Pepper, which, to this day, is best grown in Hungary [Always INSIST on the import]...and lends English its only word from Hungarian...PAPRIKA!!!

True, xenophobism would be more accurate

Actually, it isn't. The Caucasus mountains are the boundary between the supposed continent of Europe and Asia. There's really only two continents in the Old World -- Eurasia and Africa
