Hunglish.orgHow does one enter Budapest via car? Well, start looking for a "kiskapu"...
Written by Scott Savoie
One of the main motivating factors driving the daily traffic jam into Budapest is the search for the kiskapu. The kiskapu translates literally as „little gate” or figuratively as „loophole.”
The kiskapu is the Hungarian ticket to freedom: Find one and you could be set for life. Perhaps the best way to find a little gate in Hungary is to get elected to parliament or befriend a parliament member.
Members of parliament can write your loophole to your own specifications. Write yourself tax breaks, government contracts and buy land at bargain prices.
The next best thing is to get a job consulting for BKV.
Of course, these little gates are nothing compared to America’s Worldcom, Enron, Haliburton, Blackwater, Goldman Sachs, AIG, Madoff, et al. It seems that, in ’merica, they look for the great big dog choking motherlode to freaking wealth freeway to easy street. Not some little gate.
What they have in common is that, after someone goes through, they try to close it to make sure the riffraff don’t come in the same way.
