Here is another memorable experience we had while travelling through some of Eastern Europe in 2015, the year of the European refugee crisis. More than 1,000,000 people migrated from war torn countries like Syria and Afghanistan. They were mostly on foot, trying to reach Europe for a better and safer life. One of the main migrant routes went from the Middle East to Greece and then up through the Balkans and then across Hungary and Austria and into Germany. Germany had promised to take a million refugees to revitalize their aging workforce, which they did. We witnessed a small part of this story.
