In the wake of Rubik's feat having returned from a business meeting in the USA, Laczi commented, 'It was his first trip to the West, and he didn't ask me to take him anywhere after the press conference.
Most Hungarians that come here want to look at shops or buy jewellery or visit a bar. Rubik went back to his hotel. He was always that way, even after the money started. The only thing he did was start using more expensive cigarettes!'
