... By Dec 25, the dictator, Ceausescu, and his wife, were executed after an unsuccessful attempt to flee the country.

I felt the city could be the poor cousin of Barcelona, because both of them have strangely designed but beautiful buildings, but almost all of them in Timisoara badly need painting and maintenance. They are concentrated around 3 squares in the old town, so a leisurely stroll is the ...

As it dawned foggy, drizzly and cold we decided to cut our farm stay short and head to Romania. We had already seen Pecs, and with nothing more to see at the farm felt it would be an uncomfortable (cold) wasted day. The drive to Romania was relatively easy except that we forgot that "GPS guy ...

Intr-o seara cautand pe net, dau de un articol de al lui Malin Bot, articol scris acum mai bine de 2 ani. Poate faptul ca e bine scris, poate pentru ca tema e incitanta, articolul a fost preluat de o gramada de publicatii on-line. Il gasiti usor.

Llegamos sobre las 3 de la madrugada al aeropuerto de Timisoara. Allí cogemos un taxi para ir a la estación de tren, donde tenemos que coger el tren hacia Belgrado. Después de los 17 euros que nos sabla el taxista, cambiamos algo de dinero rumano (RON) para poder comprar los billetes. Esperamos dos horas en el hall de la estación con algunos indigentes rumanos. A las 6 de la madrugada sale nuestro tren.

... Leontiuc si Europlan, Am vazut ca a luat bani pentru constructii pe care nu le-a mai facut.
Ma dau cunoscator de data asta.
- Auzeam colegii care se intrebau cum de se mai vand apartamente pe Eneas, cand terenul e deja vandut. M-am speriat atunci cand au venit unii din Cluj si au zis ca il omoara pe Marius. Nu au cumparat apartamentul ei, dar aveau procura, si au venit sot si sotie si i-au dat cu un cuier in cap si a adormit Marius ...

... starry, moonless night. But with mutual support and the warm embrace of the mild night air, we began to pull each other together. Members of the host choir soon drove their cars down to us to pick up singers who needed a ride and the rest of us began our adventuresome stroll. Eventually we saw the lights of the restaurant ahead of us and members of the host choir at the door with plates of bread and salt, symbols of welcome to the banquet they had prepared ...

The train from Brasov to Timisora passes through Sibiu, which is notable since otherwise Sibiu is a bit awkward to reach, so a good tourist route. Of course I didn't know anything about Sibiu, so didn’t want to cancel my ticket just to explore, but YOU might want to. Timisoara is one of the country’s largest cities, and borders the Slavic countries also, so shows some of that influence, with exotic Turkish-looking churches. Try as I may ...
