Which neighboring country are culturally the most different from your country?

I think this is an interesting question, because many people say, that these people which neighboring with each other, usually have similar culture, traditions and mentality.

For Hungary, I don't know really. Maybe Ukraine or Romania have the most distinct culture to us among the bordering countries of Hungary.

Hungary, as it is the only Catholic neighbor we have.

Interesting. IMO, from all our neighbors Slovakia have the closest culture to Hungary.

The culture of Serbia is rather Balkanic and they have Orthodox religion (in contrast, the Hungarians are mostly Roman Catholic with significant Protestant minority).

No, Slovakia is slave of Brussels, Serbia is the closest because they are more eastern just like Hungary and we are all in holy coalition with Russia.

France (although it is separated by the sea).

What about Columbia?

It is a very interesting question, because the Spanish speaking Latin American countries are culturally almost the same. Maybe I'm wrong, because I don't familiar this region, I know from these countries the rich biodiversity and the Amazon Rainforest.

Much less than you might think. But in answer to your question, the least similar neighbour to Colombia would be either Brazil since it is Portuguese-speaking and is in many ways like a more mixed-race version of the US, or Peru due to it being far more Amerindian.

You speak about the politics, this is an other topic than culture.

The culture are the totality of traditions, customs and the lifestyle, so nothing do with politics.
