I am living in Slovakia (former Northern Hungary for more than 1000 years) in a town near Hungarian border and I never heard of the pillow fight, too. 😂Instead of this idiotism you could have mentioned dozens of more substantial and important things - Hungarian engineer Kálmán Kandó built the first railway in Italy with electric traction in 1902 - Valtellina. And he also designed the first Hungarian electric locomotive with alternative current when this type of electric traction did not yet exist in Europe... and so

I am Panamanian 🇵🇦, live in Hungary since 2006, and never heard of the pillow fight 😂

Hungarians pretty much invented everything since the industrial age. I'm only half joking. When you look into Hungarian inventions you'll shit bricks how could such a tiny country supply so many of the smartest people on the planet since the industrial revolution.

The restoration of the Great Synanogue was financially aided by the late Tony Curtis, who was born as Bernard Schwartz to Hungarian immigrant parents in the Bronx. He did not speak English until he was 6 and went to school also, and still could speak Hungarian fluently in his older years. He visited Hungary several times as did his daughter, Jamie Lee.

I was born here, but I have never heard of this pillow fight day. It's bullshit!😆🤣

[zeratulhun]

After my 40 years this is the first time I ever heard this pillow fight. Not a realy important or known thing. There are better things like Hungarian-Polish freindship day 23. march, or 15. march the national revolotion day, and many others. By the way this is a very informative and good video. Respect!

[bamulok]

Please make an effort to pronounce Hungarian names and words properly, if you can. My Magyar friend told me that you butchered even words that English speakers can easily pronounce. But thanks for the info.

Small correction. The pen was invented by Slavoljub Eduard Penkala.
Well, that's why it's called pen, shortened from the last name "Penkala".
Slavoljub Eduard Penkala lived in Zagreb, today's capital of Croatia.
