Thread: Sydney, the Ethnic city.

Years ago, back in the 1950's I made friends with a Hungarian boy. His family fled Hungary in 1956 and those of you who are old enough will remember the 1956 Hungarian Uprising in which the soviets sent in tanks to squash the anti-soviet rebellion.

When I (as a mere boy) went to his place to play with him his mother would always answer the door and yell out to him...."your little Australian friend is here". I have lost contact with him, he taught me how to play chess. Would love to meet up with him again.
