Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as Vlad the Impaler, was the legendary Dracula. He hailed from the center of Romania, the infamous Transylvania. Now Dracula is more than just a legend in Romania; he is an industry and many in the country have grown weary at the mention of his name. They complain, "That's the only thing in the world anyone knows about Romania." |
