... after getting changed and establishing that the shower only produced cold water, went down to the hotel bar. Oh, and I had a balcony, which was awesome, I don't stay in many places that have balconies- or windows that open for that matter. It wasn't exactly the place to be. I was the only customer bar a couple in the corner and I got the impression I was about as welcome as Hitler in Israel. Nevertheless I got myself a fine ...

... on a list. So I strolled back to my hotel thinking about what I would do for an extra day in Bucharest and wondering where I would stay on Tuesday night. Im more annoyed than anything because this week I had planned to go to the childrens hospital Wed-Fri morning but now I'll only have 2 days there before I leave. Oh well, thats life I guess. At least Im getting my bad karma out of the way BEFORE i get to the embassy. :-) Bucharest is a really nice city and easy to walk ...

"Smell good," he said and smiled. "What is it?" We just looked at each other and Ursa said "My speciality," and quickly added if he wanted some. "Sure, I'll bring the wine," he tried, but Ursa made it clear that she wanted no alcohol whatsoever ...

Government not give us one", he adds as he reinserts the pages of our copy into the obsolete-looking photocopier in order to utilise both sides of the paper. We thank Bahl for his time, secure our police reports, and finally greet the streets of Bucharest with a laugh, ready for whatever else she has is store for us.

Today, we were astounded to learn that the sun does in fact shine in Romania! Engergized by the newfound rays, we started out earlier and bought bread, cheese, bananas, POM-BARS (chip-ish things shaped like bears) and TROMPI (juice boxes) in town. I admit it...foreign snacks are every bit as enthralling as they were when I first ventured into the States as a kid and ...
