One thing I noticed in Budapest was the prevalence of easy access to pornography. The first thing I noticed was a man selling porno magazines from an island in the middle of a major road. The man had a makeshift sandwich board showing samples of various hard core skin mags. I thought this was strange but perhaps a one time affair, then I noticed another, and then another. It was common. This magazine rack sold Playboy, but it also sold hard core porn. I asked about it, the proprietor told me there were no laws against selling hardcore porn, but they were careful to not sell it to children.
