Please explain

  1. I love Rick. I have a tattoo of him, money bag and all. 2. Please explain to me what his aversion is to Slovakia? One 2 min clip in Bratislava, over the past 20 years? He just dropped a Pod that is all about nations that used to be Eastern and could now be Central Europe, and not even a passing mention. There a whole beautiful and stunning nation for you to explore Rick!

"Bratislava, long a drab lesson in the failings of the communist system, is turning things around. A decade ago, the city center was grim, deserted, and dangerous — a place where only thieves and fools dared to tread. Today it's downright charming, bursting with colorfully restored facades, lively outdoor cafés, swanky boutiques, and in-love-with-life locals."

Thank you Mark. I agree and I know he has a guide but in his media it has just become odd the lenghths he goes to in order to avoid it. Even when the topic is directly related. Also, while Bratislava has modernized I urge people to think past the city. The country is down right beutiful. The Tatra mountains are a criminally underrated site to see. Also. the most Castles per capita in Europe.

jerrodcapiak, Slovakia's greatest secret is that it's nothing like Bratislava. Slovakia is the best kept secret in Europe right now, and I like it that way ..... more for me.

Rick doesn't want to sell anything but big cities ($$$) so he avoids the castles and nature of Slovakia, as he only speaks to what he sells.
