Ticket To Ride Episode 128: Discovering the loss identity of Hungary

Being the largest town in south-eastern Hungary, with 163 thousand inhabitants, Szeged is situated at the confluence of the rivers Tisza and Maros. Gary Liew takes us through a discovery of the rise and fall of communism in Hungary, walking through the Heroes Gate and find out what Mayfly is all about.
