... most prestige award in international football, played by the US and Brazil national team, in which US almost won but eventually lost by 2 to 3 (I bet most of you didn’t know this event).

So this was how I enjoyed my first day in Romania. It is right next to Ukraine but I was too busy going to Poland and Hungary and Crimea and Switzerland to visit it until now, and like they say, better late than never.

... of luggage that were heedlessly heaped on the racks and floor. There were five men and one girl. They talked loudly, ate seeds, and spread out more and more. i found myself frustrated by the man next to me who, without any sort of seat divider, sprawled out in typical guy fashion with his legs taking up about a foot more than they ...

... his moments and so when he said turn right and board ferry we saw the funny side. We decided the bridge would be the faster option. We travelled through some rustic towns and past large flat field with crops of corn, barley and lucerne. We arrived at the border and paid the compulsory Romanian Road Tax of 9 Euro for a month and then passed through the Romanian checkpoint without too much delay. We arrived at ...

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.

Im in Timisoara the second city in World to start using street lights ..... take a guess at the year?.................. I dont know either . late 1800's. What a true wonderful experience the last 24 hours. I have been staying with a Romanian , Dana. She speaks perfect English and cooks even better. She has made me traditional dishes : rice and pork wrapped in grape leaves topped with yogurt and dill 2) spinach sauce with two eggs ...

Nos despedimos de Belgrado para volver a Timisoara y desde allí coger el avión de vuelta a Valencia. Tras la huella del Danubio: El sol se oculta detrás de los frondosos bosques rumanos, el tren silba, los raíles chirrían y dejamos algo más que nuestra estancia en Belgrado. Cada regreso es una armónica melancólica, cada vuelta a casa es una nube de nostalgia. La imagen de la capital serbia al cerrar los ojos. Al acabar un viaje se empieza uno en la antesala del subconsciente.

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.

We spent a typical European day in the university border town of Timisoara. The town square is absolutely beautiful - one of the nicest we have seen. The opera house is showing My Fair Lady in a few days, and I am so sad we won´t be able to see it! The 1989 revolution started here, and you can still feel a bit of the revolutionary spirit walking through the town. After a yummy lunch in the square, we took a self-guided walking tour to see the famous buildings ...

... still a struggling economy, rural villages are far apart, bus service is poor, and gas costs about twice what it does in the US. Yet the transportation dollars are spent on commerce and the driving elite. It's an unfortunate disservice to settle for pavement improvements when what this country needs is transportation improvements. Hmmmmmm, that sounds like a refrain from a previous life......

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 ...
