did some updating, some.

So it has been a while since the last post as we haven't had much access to free internet and emphasis on research has been placed highly anytime we pay for it.
We're staying with a really great host from CouchSurfing right now and he's let us use his internet access among a million other things...
Picking up since the last post,
We went to Sofia and I have to say that for the most part it was definitely the least touristed place we have been. There we experienced the machine gun turrets still up around the local water source where people fill up their jugs, huge red (communist, probably) star trashed by a gated old building, threatening young gangs of boys trying to mess with people, and torrential rains causing us to believe this might be the next flooded city on the news but only ending up soaking us from loose stones shooting up hidden water. Sorry Sofia, but I just wasn't feeling it at the time...
Next we headed to Serbia where our first stop was the Downtown Belgrade Hostel, home of the famous managing magician! After we were shown a few card tricks, we went to the Belgrade castle... Which is basically just a bunch of young teens (and adults) dry-humping and drinking. The next day Max and I split up and I went to the Tesla museum and he took pictures of military property where apparently they were quite serious about him showing them the deleting of the photos. He did however still get some shots of the wrecked buildings leftover from the NATO bombings.
After hearing about the festival, we headed to Guca

sleeping on a cold dewy hill
talk about a lot of drunk french, serbian, and roma
note: have a bunch of gypsy children and work them during the festivals - you know, anything for money


Budapest
couldn't find a place to stay because of the musical festival (exit i think) and had to spend 70€ on a hotel room which someone tried to break into in the middle of the night. Plus we arrive a few minutes too late to even enjoy the four star perks like swimming pool, sauna, etc.
