This is a top pick! ... than Zagreb. Mostar puts Sarejevo to shame, although it's the latter that has been rebuilt after the war. And here in Romania, Brasov and Sinia are fantastic compared to the rather seen-one-eastern-european-city-seen-them-all Bucharest. So if you ...
Throwing our to-do list out the window
This is a top pick! Natasha and I decided to explore Sibiu, the 2007 European Capital of Culture. There was a 9:45am train- easy enough. We sadly said bye to GT and Romain. I became particularly fond of Romain, so it was really too bad that he was leaving ...
Brasov and Bran (the castle not the flakes)
This is a top pick! ... next few weeks we decided pare down a bit of our ambition to see all there is to see in Bulgaria and Romania, and instead stay for five nights in Brasov. Being in a place long enough to become familiar with it, go back to good restaurants a few times, and ...
Transylvania: Plenty of vamps but no vampires.
This is a top pick! ... up a bit so they wouldn't drag on the ground in wide cuffs, which by the way, isn't a fashion crime in NYC!! But I guess Brasov, Romania is the fashion capital of the world. I wanted to tell them that I should be the one pointing and laughing since they ...
When in Romania
This is a top pick! ... currencies like JPY and Swedish whatever. Strangely none of them, not even the banks, offered exchange for the currency of Romania's two neighbors, Bulgaria and Turkey. Granted I only have about $40 total to exchange, but I still want that ...
deep in the heartland...
This is a top pick! ... . No matter what the reality or the evolution of the problem, its clear that the gypsy community is a serious concern in Romania. Right now I'm sitting in the most expensive hotel in Brasov (because it has wifi), which is perhaps the ...
The Land Of No Tractors..
This is a top pick! ... dirty little gypsy bastards would come out of nowhere and rob us poor that's for sure. Yes we're in Transylvania, Romania and to be more specific we're in Brasov, a pretty little hill town that we were using as a base to visit a couple of towns around ...
OUT ALL NIGHT

TRAVELING LIGHT
This is a top pick! ... Ukraine. The countries of the former U.S.S.R., to me, represent their own part of this world. Therefore, when I would leave Romania later that evening, I would be leaving Europe. And you can't leave a continent without a few good lists. 5 ...

A medieval town we wish could have visited longer
