Mercy! I have no idea where this website got their figures, but I assume they are true: The value of Romania’s fast food industry exceeds 2 billion Euros per year, whilst the total amount of cash spent to burn the junk food calories barely reaches 300 million. KFC Romania, for instance, is cashing in on 131.000 Euros per day, that is an increase of 13 … Continue reading Hai Sa Ne Ingrasam!
Interesting little mixed bag this morning, although I’ve NOT included some of the weirder (and rambling, poorly-written) missionary blogs because frankly they’re all the same.

Although this post was actually written in August, I just found it. Apparently it’s the report of an American who “amazingly survived” a ride on Romanian MÁV Hungarian state railways, which were nothing like the real old days on CFR but still scared the pants off this traveler. Something wasn’t right…this didn’t look anything like the photos I viewed online. This train looked more like … Continue reading Visitor Amazingly Survives CFR (Actually MÁV) Ride
