We still don't know which variant of PPL - US or EASA. From the initial post I assume EASA, so all these "make your US PPL" may be wrong headed. There are advantages to do the US PPL, most prominent if you go IR, but this is only a catch until 2015, when EASA planes are to be flown by a full EASA license, not only validation.
BTW: just yesterday I heard of somebody finishing his part-FCL in Szeged at Fly-Team Hungary, maybe HU is an option?
