- Romania (Cluj, Brasov,Bucharest)
Crossing into Romania, it finally felt like we had reached our first true border crossing. The poverty of Romania is immediately visible in comparison to the other countries we have visited. Life strikes me as being very hard in Romania. Posted by murphyre in Rebecca's Adventure Around the World | Feb 22, 2008
- A City Planner’s Nightmare
Bucharest is disorientating from the minute you arrive, lacking any coherent organization that may allow a visitor to adapt quickly to their new surroundings. I typically feel quite comfortable wandering the streets of a new city without a map, relying Posted by AAY in At the Crossroads | Aug 17, 2007

There is little doubt that the real estate I have devoted to Romania’s transportation deficiencies has grown a little old. I must sound like a broken record, and again, my apologies must be expressed to what seems to be an Posted by AAY in At the Crossroads | Aug 15, 2007
- Mini Bus Hell and Medieval Transylvania
Traversing Romania is a deflating, seemingly impossible feat. Beyond basics trips to and from the capital transport lines tend to be both inefficient and infrequent. To fill this vacuum, industrious Romanians have created a mini-bus empire whose lower pri Posted by AAY in At the Crossroads | Aug 13, 2007

Crossing the Danube felt like one giant leap into a completely different part of Europe. Though technically grouped with the Balkans, and most often joined at the hip with Bulgaria, it feels hundreds of miles apart, divided by much more Posted by AAY in At the Crossroads | Aug 13, 2007

Before I recount the unparalleled agony of the border crossing into Romania I want to quickly dispel any potential false impression this entry’s title may provoke. Though it would have been a welcome sight, there was no fast food oasis Posted by AAY in At the Crossroads | Aug 10, 2007

A little delay on the train meant I met a nice Romanian American couple, who knew the secret to East Europe train carriage identification. Still my own carriage was a 420, seat 61. I opened the door to find the Posted by outcast in Point2Point | Oct 14, 2007

Romanians are so wonderful simply because they don't know how wonderful they are. They are generous, kind, modest and they seem to always be wearing a smile.

Sighisoara is a medieval city where you can still feel such atmosphere. Easily, you can imagine how people lived (and in some case are still living) there a few centuries ago.
