Postavarul Brasov

... one of them and carried out his duty faithfully (case in point: In WWI, Romania was on the side of the France and UK, fought against Germany and Austria). It didn&#8217;t happen only in some out-of-the-way, minor nations in the backwater; Britain&#8217;s current royal family was actually transplanted from Germany in the 19th century, and kept its German name until WWI, when the British developed hatred toward the Germans.<br><br>I think that&#8217;s why I am so addicted ...

The night at the Bucharest train was uneventful.I tried to sleep but i was waken up twice by the passport police, one of them which asked me my marital status and got surprised when i said i was single.Lone female travellers seem to be quite rare in Eastern Europe. Locals wonder why a girl would do such thing like travelling without her man or without her parents if she is young.I question the contrary.Why would a girl travel with her boyfriend,be stuck with his grumpiness ...

... coming from Turkey. No, he said, he is really from Turkey. Like, he is Turkish. A German-Turk at that. Instant bonding. Natasha and I invited him and the guy sitting on the staircase to go out into the city with us. The latter was a French guy from a village with 3,000 inhabitants. In June and July, the 19-year-old Romain saved up money from giving guided tours in a medieval castle just a mile from his house. In August ...

... chat, then he asks us if we kn*w anything ab*ut mining. We d* n*t, and tell him s*. He already ann*ys me. "*h, well I just f*und a mine *v** h**e f*r sale. They mine s*mething beginning with T.

Heeh heeh ha ha ha" His laught** is high pitched t* begin with, but by the last Ha it is en ...

... Romanians are defiantely into their meat. It was funny to see the punctual english again though. We helped the wife prepare lunch and they were all panicking because it wasnt going to be ready right at 1pm when the men were coming in. I'm getting used to this.. yeah whenever whatever lifestyle. On the way home i managed to leave a semi permanent mark on Brasov. Some guys were doing some concreting and I didnt realise. I stood fair in the middle of the almost dry concrete and ...

... forward. I've had to stop my usual happy smiley face as im walking around the streets. Apparently if you look a romanian guy in the eye and smile you are basically saying ' please, can i have sex with you.' so i've learned to stop that pretty quickly after the various comments and glaring stares. Its all quite harmless though so dont worry, they are all talk. It was interesting watching these guys last night at the table with us 5 women. They basically made their way ...

... for lunch and then we went on a walking tour of Brasov. We saw the main square, rope street (The narrowest street in Europe) and then walked by the weavers bastilllion and up to the cable car to go to the top of the hill. At the top of the hill Brasov was written out like the Hollywood sign. On the way up, the guide mentioned he paraglides and has friends that do ...

... go back to good restaurants a few times, and possibly even get a little, dare I say...bored...does wonders in helping one recover from the dusty bus rides, packing and unpacking, train ticket queues and the like. But after a few sedentary days of calm, I start to look forward to getting moving again. With all that in mind, after only one day in Brasov we decided that this was the place where we should stay a bit. Although our hotel is considerably less than luxurious, the rest of ...

... but the struggle to make people enjoy life, the world, experience... small discussion point: but what do they define as idealist? often they seem to define as idealist a person that has some kind of dream ,and dreams - but has little chances of reacing it i think that idealists have better chances to reach their dreams...cause in the proces of achieving a dream they get to a point when they dont realise anymore that what they do is in fact the dream ... the materialisation, and ...

Fortunately, this trip has not been all work! We have found plenty of time to enjoy this beautiful country, and the wonderful people who live here. The staff at World Vision have been very kind to us and have treated us very generously. Last weekend, Nico and his wife Adi has us up to their cottage in the mountains. They had a delicious barbecue for us and, like all good hosts, fed us a lot of wine and Tsuica (boot-legged brandy). The scenery in the Fagaras mountains is beautiful and ...
