@shriramk Hungary was “open” even in the Soviet era. In 1988 I joined an Esperanto club at school. I was terrible at languages, but that club took an annual trip to Budapest. Sadly, my year never got to Budapest because our teacher got arrested entering the DDR - the stasi having grown suspicious of his annual transit through eastern Germany and Czechoslovakia to Hungary. It never occurred to me to wonder why he took that route rather than going through Austria.
