International Sinaia

Oana is a girl from AIESEC and she is the sweetest girl. I<br>instantly clicked with her. We shared our stories, our gossip, and I even<br>helped her apply for a traineeship in Malaysia. She studies law and she is<br>really pretty. She lives by herself in Brasov in a three bedroom apartment. Her<br>brother comes visits her once a month because he studies in Sibiu. He is really<br>handsome and charming. He loves to draw and I saw some of his drawings and he<br>is really ...

... and druggies was not a good start. I did not overly care much for Bucharest, I know alot of Eastern European city's are like that but I am really glad I got out and got to go to Transylvania. It is a lot slower way of life here and the scenery is really beautiful. I would love to come back here during the winter it must be really beautiful. The people are also intersting, they come across not that friendly but if you are polite and at least try to ...

... would build were money no object, though perhaps with less walnut wood. Walnut's just so dark. Our visit to Peles complete, we trekked back down to the train station and headed for Brasov on a "personal" train. Sounds nice, no? Don't be fooled. Personal is the lowest class of train. Commonly referred to as gypsy trains, they are crowded, slow, and cheap. Just don't be surprised if your wallet's missing when you get off. We met a nice girl (who was quite ...

... I knew that it was death to stop dancing. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest. And I had nowhere to rest until the morning train to Mihai's town at 6:17. So, I and Lore danced, to any noise that moved. Non-dancer and (like me) non-drinker Mihai nodded off for a second in the gas station afterwards. Mihai's family's communist-era apartment, unlike Benedetto's hosue, was tiny. Four people practically tangled themselves up living there. But, it felt good ...

... to the tourist office to see if I could pick up a map. Sparkles told me, "Here is the only map that is free." I thanked him and looked it over, then Sparkles abruptly told me, "There is really nothing to do today, you will have to wait until tomorrow for anything to open." I said, "Well, what about skiing?" Sparkles snapped, "It will cost you more than 100 euros, so that isn't an option either." Apparently only the most expensive resort was open due to a very poor snow ...

... to lately? I finished the John Grisham book, "The Broker" which was good but not great. Now, I am getting in touch with my feminine side and reading "Memoirs of a Geisha." It is strange, because I can't remember the last time I have seen the movie, then read the book. I always read the book first if I can. What's funnier still is that I really didn't care for the movie... and it had Zhang Ziyi in it... which we ALL know makes a movie that much ...

... up for it: They put up these flags all over the citadel and there's a town crier who goes around beating his drum and shouting invitations to the festival in different languages. It's been very relaxing here, since I've seen all there is to see and am now just lounging around the cafes waiting for my overnight train to Sofia. That and the hostel has very friendly workers who like to party every night and distribute free drinks to anybody who wants one.

... rental folks knew nothing about skis or trails in the area!! But someone surely must have X-country skis - would be stunning skiing. We suppose with two youngsters, life is in some ways much the same in Eastern Europe as it is in Whitehorse. Except that it takes us much longer in Romania and Bulgaria to arrange accommodation, train tickets, to grocery shop - how blissful it will be to ...

... that progressed from shocking crispness to cloud-like softness which embraces a comfortingly warm apple filling expertly touched with cinnamon and sugar. The rest of our group enthusiastically agreed with our assessment as they went back for seconds and thirds. Paul needed a moment to collect himself. Mel noted in amusement Paul's goofy spaced-out face coated with a light sprinkling of icing sugar. She elected not to disturb him.
