Zagreb is a happening city...

...Or so our Lonely Planet guide tells us.

We're trying to decide whether to include Zagreb in our trip at the moment. We're going to be in Lake Balaton (Hungary) in June, and Zagreb is only a 2 hour train ride from there.

It's so hard to cut your trip down to only a few cities, when you're crossing half the world to just get to Eastern Europe from Australia, and once you're there, it seems so easy to just skip across a border and go to see a whole new country.

Random piece on Croatian radio:
"RADIO TTT is Radio Turn The Tape. This name was chosen because we know that it's not easy to transmit 24 hours a day. So we stimulate people to tape our program and distribute it in any way. Radio TTT is a local, independent, virTTTual, completely illegal, untraceable, insignificant and pirate radio station in Zagreb, Croatia, Europe which has virtually 200.000 listeners younger than 30. If you want to talk about identity: it's hard core transnational sounds, based on the sound of the Zagreb underground clubs...

The programme is produced by several people in Zagreb, Croatia, either illegaly in studios of established radio stations or at home studios put together out of private equipment. We are careful, mobile and low cost. No disaster if the equipment gets caught. For example: one of the operation modes is just a walkman with a prepared program (tape), connected to the transmitter. Next we will link the transmitter with the public adress (PA) of one of the clubs, and alternate this soundspace with experimental soundbytes. When people get caught, we will have news. We are prepared to make good use of that. We are about ten people involved in this thing, with few international connections (Europe and America).

RADIO TTT is broadcasting from different hidden and illegal (non-traceable, we hope!) places on several frequencies, but the main one is 105.0 FM, stereo in anticolor, cinemascope and monstero dolby technique. "
