This website is anti-Romanian. There are absolutely no photos of it in their library. But just what would appear: a blocked footpath on account of the parked cars? A couple of fat blokes in their underwear standing together in a field (but not too close, that would be weird...)? A pack of rabid dogs? A gypsy kid crawling about in the dirt? Maybe I'll stick with the Amsterdam photo.... Once again I am lying to you. I'm not in Sibiu, though I was this morni...

Hi there! I'm still in Romania, presently enjoying a rest day on account of all the wonderous things I've been doing lately. I flew here from Brussels on Blue Air - a discount carrier that I hadn't really heard of before. Their slogan - and I swear this is/was true: "Your destination. Our way". I don't know whether I'm reading it wrong, but to me that sounds something akin to: "Alright, alright we know you want to go to Bucharest. Now strap y...

There seems to be something funny going on with internet cafes in Romania - there aren't any. Or rather, I should so "many", 'cause I've finally found one (and I can't imagine it being in a place that's more likely to be an opium den, or someplace you'd get a good head-kicking).

I just noticed that people can rate these blogs... Trust me, if you've something better to do the next few minutes than read this entry, then go right on ahead. I can't imagine it being terribly exciting and I want to try and keep my average. My first blog, which was essentially along the lines of "I survived the trip here" and a quick description of the many shades of s*** that I felt, scored a lowly one star! Out of five! Seemingly some people we...

Hi there, last blog entry I was peeing in my own face. Now if that isn't going to increase readership I don't know what is... Last you heard I was meant to be having a rest day but I got dragged out by some Czech blokes to a nightclub (!) instead. They seemed to enjoy my company, inviting me back to their homeland, and told me to skip Romania 'cause it was probably s***. I also found out that it's incredibly cheap to get your dental work done there (one was a de...
