Immigrants

Many people choose to study, work or live in Budapest. We investigated why are they here. We divided the task into 3 parts.

Firstly, immigrants from the Far East usually run restaurants and clothes shops. I talked to a man who owns a Chinese restaurant. He told me that he had inherited the shop from his father. His family came to Hungary in 1992 and his father died a few years ago. He lives in the 14th district with his wife and children. His sons study in a Hungarian school.

Secondly, immigrants from the Middle East usually run restaurants, too: gyros bars and kebab restaurants. I talked to a bar owner and he said that he had came to Hungary because of his wife and he started a family here. They live in the suburbs and they are happy here.

Thirdly, immigrants from Africa came to Hungary to study at universities like Corvinus, BME, ELTE, etc. After finishing their studies, they usually go back to Africa, or to the USA or Western Europe to work there. However, if they fall in love, they stay here and start a family. We spoke to a man called George, and he said that he came to our country to study at Corvinus University. He has been living here for 2 years. He loves our city, but he doesn't like our climate. It's too cold for him.
