The Clap

So, I decided to contribute a post about a fun aspect of Hungarian culture. When attending an event that involves clapping, one will discover"the Hungarian clap." I love it. Basically everyone gets on to one solid beat of clapping so it is almost like a clapping chant. I went to the opera a few weeks ago and I have never experienced so much clapping! I am pretty sure there were at least ten clap chants. I hope everyone someday gets to experience this applause phenomenon.
