Cartisoara Sibiu, Transylvania, Romania, 0744-/-545550-0744-/-578363
... incident. Unless of course, you count an hour of moving at 10 mph or random 20 minute stops in the middle of the woods as odd. The scenery we passed on our journey southward was worth the price of the train ticket alone. We rode past tiny villages, grazing cattle on endless green pastures, a sheep herder and his hundreds of sheep, meandering brooks cutting through the slate gray, imposing Carpathian Mountains dotted with peaking fall foliage ...
Transylvania, Romania ferrisbueller... bhaji together. All in all a very memorable experience. I love what I saw of Romania. I made new friends and got to see an old one too! The land is beautiful and prosperous. All of Adrian's friends are gainfully employed in the tech industry. The unemployment rate is below 1% and Cluj has become the silicon valley of Romania (but still affordable). Before I forget I have to mention the food I have eaten. Sarmales are cabbage ...
Cluj Napoca, Romania madhavi... Director of a school on a temporary basis, then did an exam for it to take it up as his full-time profession. He is obviously passionate and dedicated about this project and likens it to managing a large business. From the his Director's office you can even see his home through the window, on the right, across the road from the school. ******************* Elim Foundation Here we met Lars he has made it his life to support the progress and protection of children in care ...
Marghita, Romania gse1090... Romania was, as all ignorant foreigners usually have, was completely opposite of what we found this town to be. First, from watching too many version of "Hostel" and the idea of this mythical place, where demons once walked the land, and where Romania, still relatively unheard of in most people's travel itineraries, remained a mysterm, we were a little hesitant about our stop here. But what the heck, with life insurance policies in place, we figured if one of us makes it out ...
Brasov, Transylvania, Romania patandjill... de a marca. Antrenorul Marius Lacatus a folosit toti jucatorii pe care ii are in cantonament, cu exceptia lui Petre Marin, care este nerefacut dupa accidentarea de la inceputul saptamanii. Steaua a inceput bine partida, Dica sutand de la 20 de metri, insa portarul polonezilor a fost la post. Acelasi Dica a centrat excelent, de pe partea stanga, pentru o lovitura de cap, insa portarul i-a luat fata lui Banel ...
Mioveni, Romania g3o3n3... dar ei au profitat din plin de greșelile pe care le-am făcut. De la meciurile cu Arsenal și Sevilla nu ne puteam aștepta la prea multe, deși speram, am rămas doar cu atât, cu speranța, pentru că steliștii au avut grijă să prindă încă o zi proastă. Ei și ce dacă s-a ținut tare cu Arsenal? Dacă eram noi așa mari cocoși le dădeam ...
Mioveni, Romania g3o3n3... it is very friendly. While we were panhandled on the train by a persistent young boy and by a woman walking through the aisles it seems that there is a feeling of excitement about being named the capital of culture here and also perhaps about the opportunity of joining the EU. On the other side, I have heard from a few locals concerned about bribery and corruption with the influx of EU money ...
Sibiu, Romania tracystravels... their contents among the other passengers-- Tory and I were handed a black bag a piece--- at first I refused, and he looked entirely puzzled at the bus attendent. "It's no problem really, just take two, it's no problem really. Just if they ask say you bought them, okay?" she started explaining. Well, we were outnumbered. A bus full of black market smugglers from Romania, versus two Americans loaded with nothing but sarcasm to fend them off.... We took a plastic bag a piece and their ...
Sibiu, Transylvania, Romania keit3Buna, I've just returned from an eventful weekend away with the boys to the really gorgeous Romanian town of Sibiu. Ok so like all weekend trips I've described thus far this one began with train dramas. On this occasion we did in fact all (Ryan, Simo and I) make it onto the train but unfortunately it left at 10pm at night which, would of been fine had it not meant that we arrived in Sibiu at 3.43am!! Consequently it was pitch black and ...
Sibiu, Romania amy.green... Vlad's father was Vlad Dracul (meaning son of dragon) and the inspiration for the Count Dracula character in Bram Stoker's novel. As we entered Romania by train it was not long before we got to the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. And in the end, we really did not encounter too many difficulties at the border. We only had to wait for two hours while our passports were taken and carefully examined. We had been warned about border guards and train officials taking kickbacks from ...
