Kata and I went on vacation to the Austrian countryside and this is what I got out of it. This week's video is about the Mayerling Affair, a story from an infamous hunting lodge in the Austrian countryside. It is a story about the first world war that I'd never heard before visiting and thus felt like it was worth passing on.
Sorry, Austria. I realize I'm not exactly doing your country justice with this short series. But I think we can agree I am not be the first person to drag your national name through the mud.
