I know... I tried Hungary once in 2003-5 and then again in 2010-12. The first time it was a vibrant and very lucrative experience with incredible potential. The second time around I realized that I may just as well go back to the stale comfort of Germany, and still end up with more money.

As for Kaliningrad, just recently, when Finland joined NATO, it went from being a strategically important and highly valuable place for Russia to an expensive liability. Plus, there is quite a bit of a popular movement towards independence, so who knows... Russia may just let them go. We'll watch and see.
