Different But Not Wrong
... him!)
For the most part though, they are very sweet and our little charmer gains fans wherever we go … he is certainly a draw-card and presents many opportunities for conversations with the locals on the tram. (a great way to practice our small amount of Magyarul that we have learned so far)
