I'm sitting in a cafe near where Vlad the Impaler is born. The history has been glossed over by his connection to Bram Stoker's creation Dracula and all the kitsch that goes with it, but this small town is still incredibly beautiful.
Musically Romania is a mixture of everything we love to hate in the west. In a cafe in Bucharest the other day, they played Air Supply and followed it with Black Kids, and then some early 1990s techno (I'm pretty sure it was C+C Music Factory). The amount of techno here is incredible. I'll have to drop some beats and create something interesting, maybe I'll become big in Bucharest!
That's it for now, I'll try to hit you up with more news from Budapest!
