Kongo arrives in Bratislava the capital of Slovakia for a day of walking around and sightseeing in this ancient city. Like most of this part of the world, Bratislava has seen its share of invasions and foreign armies. It is a beautiful small city on the Danube situated close to the junction of three countries in Central Europe: Slovakia, Hungary, and Austria.

Here Kongo has a friendly chat with “Uncle Joe,” a remaining relic from Bratislava’s recent past as part of the Soviet Bloc.

Imagine being in first grade and having to learn to say (and pronounce) a name like this on the first day of school. Some of the words in the Slovak language seem unspeakable!

Travel safe. Have fun.
