An unlikely meeting in Budapest

True story from Budapest.
It was the 1970's and two young guys
from Moss, Norway were waiting for
their girlfriends somewhere in the
middle of Budapest.

The guys had long hair, looked like hippies.
Next to them stood an elderly local woman,
dressed like she came from some small
Hungarian village, with a black scarf
on her head.
She looked disapprovingly at the hippy types.

As the two girls from Moss finally joined
their boyfriends, a woman also walked up
to the Hungarian woman in a scarf.
They started to speak to each other in
Hungarian, when the younger woman
suddenly exclaimed in Norwegian:
Fancy meeting people from Moss here!

It turned out that these two women were
mother and daughter, and that the daughter
was the neighbour of one of the two
Norwegian girls!

Small world!

PS. One can imagine the mother asking
her daughter afterwards, how she knew such
strangelooking people in Norway.
