Cubix Brasov

I am actually writing from Sinaia today, but I spent the last two days in Brasov, which was a beautiful city with (unequivocally) the best slogan ever: "Probably the best city in the world." If I hadn't seen the hilarious Vientiane/Arc de Triomphe sign, I would probably think that the umbrellas with Brasov's slogan were the best signs in the whole world. But instead, they can only "probably" be the best signs.<br><br>I love Brasov because it is beautiful and ...

... the Weavers' Fortress (currently a museum). The culture of Brasov will also develop during this period. Johannes Honterus, a great German humanist will work for most of the time in Brasov, and the deacon Coresi will print the first Romanian books here. Therefore in the 16th century Brasov will host several schools, libraries, and printing houses. 1688 will be one of the toughest years in the history of Brasov. It will have to fight in the same time with the uprising ...

... because we were not about to go clubbing with our huge packs, including a tent. We ended up bribing the bathroom attendent to watch our packs and then we hired a taxi to take us out because it was raining hard. The first few places we went were pretty terrible, but then finally we found a great club called obsession. Obsession was high class--we were definitely not looking high class after travelling all day. Caught our train to Budapest at 4am and passed out.

Welcome to Romania, beautiful landscapes and scenery, Dracula, and loads of Gypsies. After my 13 hour train ride to Bucharest I immediately jumped on a train up to Brasov in the heart of Transylvania where I would be based for the next 4 nights. After about 15 minutes the train made its first stop and about 20 Gypsies boarded and started storing their bags in are already full compartment. Within 30 minutes the people in the compartment slowly left and were replaced ...

... persistent, but he seemed harmless. That afternoon we walked down into the old town of Dubrovnik, which is extremely beautiful! In fact the whole Croatian coastline was amazing! We found a little door in the city walls that took us out onto the rocks looking over the sea. Here we ate our lunch enjoying the sun and comparative warmth compared to where we'd been so far! We'd realised on the bus (when our passports got stamped) that it was New Years ...

... to it through the day. I ordered my meal and asked for a steak with mushroom sauce. The waiter babbled something about there was a better steak and mushroom dish but it wasnt on the menu so i said, yeah whatever. I just want a steak. To my dismay, half an hour later he brought me out beef stroganof. It really did taste great, but didnt satisfy my need for a steak. Its easy to lose perspective of the value of money here. Most of the girls are straight from school so they have ...

... the city, but admittedly there wasn't all that much to see anyways. The one major thing I had to skip was the Székely National Museum just down the way from the central square. Having caught one exceptional museum in Târgu Secuiesc though, I wasn't that gutted about it. Apart from a few elegant 19th-century edifices here and there, the other real highlight was a fortified Reformed Church in the semi-rural outskirts. Again, the visit was more hurried than I would have otherwise ...

... I found a few apartments with kitchens and living rooms and I am anxiously awaiting the owners' reply. If it works out, we are going to do something really exciting - go to Carrefour (similar to a Wal-Mart Supercenter) and buy groceries because we will have a fridge!! Yahoo!! It's the little things really that are the most exciting. We Said: So far on the trip, a constant source of free entertainment for us is local fashion trends. Now obviously in ...

so ...late in the night i got in the train...starting the trip that was able to dragg me out from solitude...to bring peace and hallucination in the same time....to create and maybe to destroy... am a dreamer but when I wake, You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.

... in for a meal. They walked through groves of cherry trees - he said it was like something out of a fairy tale or something like that - and arrived. The meal consisted of animal fat fried in lard! They kept feeding it to him! He ended up staying for a few days. That is something I'm sure he will never forget. We found Gigi in the guidebook and called him before leaving Hungary to reserve a room. He had a place for us with his uncle for $20 a night ...
