Loved this view into Hungarian life at the time of my father’s youth. From the delightful blog; ADiligentObserver.
Many thanks to the National Geographic which, in its pursuit of conserving World Cultures, took it upon themselves to document life in Rural Hungary in the June, 1932 issue.
Lusty Magyar youths couldn’t just share a shake at the malt shop, or go necking at a drive-in movie in order to share some quality time with their honey. For them, flirting took place 10 feet apart, separated by a wall and surrounded by friends and siblings (and most likely with a mother lurking close by).
Who is courting whom, one wonders. The girl on the far right looks none too pleased with the amount of attention she is receiving.
Who knew that dancing the Csárdás was no different than slow dancing to *NSYNC at a middle school dance?
It looks like the male/female ratio in this rural enclave is slightly skewed to the latter.
