Bella Muzica Brasov

Girl on train (Roxana) 17 yo wanting to practise English. Working in Cyprus, had 27 yo 'boyfriend'. Other men on train chatting her up?! Sweet girl but had to get out of her becoming a new Facebook friend by giving her a slightly wrong name. eek. Met at station by a guy who gave me map and told me where to get ticket and what bus to get. Very useful. Hostel really nice. Lots of Ausies and Brits. Really friendly atmosphere.

... out it was due to very bad directions and not my own stupidity, which is nice to know. Our hotel is pretty sweet except for the lack of air conditioning. So this morning we were both awake at 8am because the sun was already overheating the room. The weather has been really warm and a bit muggy so far in Romania.<br><br>We decided to have a beer at one of the many terrace restaurants and they were out of Guinness so I tried a local beer that our hot server recommended and it was ...

Krista works out at the childrens hospital. They have a baby ward and they go in the morning and change their nappy, feed them and play with them for a bit. So we decided that yesterday I would go with her in the morning to see that and she would come with me to the home in the afternoon. What a horrible place. There were 4 babies in there yesterday. It changes every day of course depending on how many babies are brought in sick. There are twins about 2 months old, a girl about 4 months ...

... Id make that early start. So I might head out to Draculas castle on Sunday and just hang out and do the local tourist stuff around here tomorrow. Well, im meeting up with the girls again soon. Deborah has been here for 3 months and this is her last weekend so she is having a bit of a shindig. Some final randon things... Its pickle season. Everyone is carrying around huge bags of veges at the moment. At home, the kitchen is full of cucumbers, onions, garlic, eggplant and ...

... turns out, Brasov is a very dirty city. I'm not sure that the cars here are up to standard, environmentally speaking. The only thing that makes me say that is the smog, thick in the air, that made Jon's throat hurt and made my eyes feel like I was blinking through sandpaper. Now don't get me wrong, it's not so bad as I make it sound. Brasov is in a valley with the beautiful Carpathian mountains surrounding it- the best ...

... the pension had filled up with about 20 people and now there were people every where, the owner decided that if everybody put in 3 zsloty she would make dinner, it seemed like a good plan, now the amount of food that came out of the kitchen was phenomenal, she had her two daughters and about 6 other little old Rumanian ladies cooking. That was the best meal I have had since leaving the beef of Argentine. The next day after another day hike I caught the train to Bucharest.

... and his short blond hair seemed too to belong to a very Christian sect. He wore a look that said, "I may not be big enough to hurt someone, but I'd sure like to." I laughed the most with young-looking thirty-year-old Florin. His light hair was gelled spikily, and he appeared fashionable except for the dynamite smile he kept showing with unclean teeth. He was innocent, a delivery-man still living with his family. As we rolled over a whole bunch of pot-holes, mono ...

June 6, 2005 (I was not able to send this on the 7th, so I'm sending this today, June 10th) Wow, what a whirlwind. Here I am in P.C. Romania with a whole new host family, language, colleagues, and environment! I am typing this to you now with the hope and expectation that I will be able to access the internet tomorrow while in Brasov. Currently I am living in the small town of Zarnesti (the phonetic is "Zarnesht"), which is breathtakingly beautiful, nestled in the ...
