A Trip to Sibiu, Confusion, Baby-Biting Gypsies and Cluj Gets Some Visitors

Folks, I have to admit I first started keeping an eye on online commentary (mostly blogs and twitter) just out of curiosity. Then on days when I am busy, it’s a rather “quick” way to scare up a new blog post. Sometimes it leads you down some strange paths, that’s for sure. Luckily, today’s mix is a thankfully a little bit more on the gentler … Continue reading A Trip to Sibiu, Confusion, Baby-Biting Gypsies and Cluj Gets Some Visitors

a blogger's view of Romania, Gypsies

The Professor Hearts Gypsies, CFR Sucks, Architecture, Patience and Changing Diapers

Folks, I really got to stop trawling the internet for what people have to say about Romania. Sometimes it just gets so bizarre it makes my teeth ring, you know? Truth is way stranger than fiction.

Yep, those heavy round metal discs that cover entrances to sewers and the like, and yesterday the blogger did a feature on some Romanian manholes, with a lot of photographs, including several from my town. Amazing … Continue reading Manholes, Dracula’s Castle, Saving Babies and a Romanian Comes Home

Lots of Photos And Another True Tale of Surviving CFR Railways!

A lot of interesting tidbits here today and QUITE a few photos. Let’s dig in, shall we? First off, a previously featured Do-Gooder blogger (the one who hates branza) who this time went to Hunedoara. Not quite sure if she’s ever been to EUROPE before (not just Romania): I cannot express how truly amazing it was to be able to not only see an intact … Continue reading Lots of Photos And Another True Tale of Surviving CFR Railways!
