Trip to Ljubljana

It turned out that one of the guys who worked at the tourist information center I went to was familiar with the NSK and their activities in Slovenia. He advised me that unfortunately, the NSK closed their location in Ljubljana just a couple of months ago. It seems that the NSK's popularity may have waned with the increasing influence of American culture in the ex-Yugoslavian countries.

Incidentally, although Laibach's name is the German name for Ljubljana, they are actually from Trbovlje, which is a bit east of Ljubljana. I did not stop in Trbovlje on this trip, although I did pass through it on the train back to Austria. It is a tiny industrial town with nothing else to distinguish it as far as I can tell; even Ivan Novak of Laibach once said that when he visits his hometown, it's essentially like visiting a cemetery.
