... it's an extremely popular destination for the wealthy occupants of Brasov and Bucharest. The restaurant serves its own bread, pates, sausages and pickled vegetables (including cabbage, tomato, paprika, mushrooms). We then spent dinner with Fustos Tibor (Adrian's host and President of the Rotary club of Saint George), Beke Tibor (Marco's host), Beke Karla (Marco's other host), and Bokor Zoltan (Oonaghs host) in a wonderful restuarant with live music ...

... so much from their local perspective. With regard to the gypsies and my questions about their origin and social status or actually lack thereof, I get a decent explanation. The gypsies are believed to have originated in India....they are dark-skinned with Indian-like features. I guess they have been migrating from their origins for quite some time. And the countries they migrated across did not allow them to settle ...to make a home...to put ...

... country and left his people starving to try to reach them. He wanted to make Bucharest a little Paris. They had a lot of french influence before he came in power so there already was some of it around. He however, decided to take that a step further and wiped out the main center of town (about 1/5 of the historic quarter) and started building his own vision. At the center of it all is the Palace of Parliament, also known as the Peoples House. Leading out from there he ...

... is a clock tower at one entrance which you can climb to the top of. On the railings they have little signs with the direction and distance to major towns and Australia was indeed represented with a sign to Sydney. I took loads of photos but will load those up when I get back to the office later this week. From the middle of the town there is a covered stairway to the very top of the hill where there is an old church and cemetary. We casually strolled around chatting and ...

... bar. Anastasia seems to be a big fan of karaoke. We met a few aussies travelling through in the pub so they came along as well. Our friend from the other night was back asking all the women for some mushu, strangely enough his swarve come on line still wasnt working out too well for him. Next thing i know im putting my name down for Hotel California and then i'm up and singing. At least everyone knows that song so everyone else singing along drowned out my voice and ...

so i'll make this quick. it's three days later than this entry already, but i feel like i should talk about what i've been doing/ jared and i hired a guide to take us around eastern transylvania. we figured that since we were running out of money and since all of the countries we want to see cost a ton to go to, that we'd go to istanbul early. so we decided that the last day of our trip would be in ...

... exposed my heart is not beating, i am tired and closed. i am the moon that is clearing your sky my night is just coming but your the one that died dont keep me waiting with flowers and rimes i will forget as soon as time comes you are a wanderer and i am the quest who cannot judge you has lost my request for all those who wonder where their soul is i will just tell them: forget that I is.

... the political developments in that country. I get shivers down my spine as I here about the dwindling situation there from news reports. I still find myself crying over both the friends I've had to leave behind there and what future awaits them. My heart, hopes, and strengh are always reaching out to them. They are in a tough situation and unfortunately they have very censored access of news information...if you would even call it news. I've tried to stay in contact ...

... backpackers to take back to her ad hoc hostel, basically an apartment converted for that use, entirely DIY auto-pilot. God help you if one of your back-packer buddies leaves the door open or some other such irresponsible nonsense. A couple days of this is enough, but I still like Romania, so book a train to Timisoara.
