I went to Brasov and to Bran castle when I was about 16 – but the castle was closed, so I am glad you got in. The last time I was in Romania was 1991, post-Ceaucescu, but everyone still seemed quite miserable; how did you find the people these days?
Well, I can only talk about people in Bucharest but compared to people in Budapest they are nicer, kinder, more optimistic and more open. They mostly look like anyone else in Budapest but in the rural areas there are more poor people and they look like people in Hungary 20 years ago.
Yes, I thought of you and Terry when I took the cat picture.

Is the car a Trabant 601?
Yep, you win! How will a nice souvenir from Romania do? Or maybe I can even get you a Trabant for almost nothing.
Thanks Dalma. Does the Trabant have run-flat tyres
I can easily get you one with flat tyres.
Damn, I was going to say trabant too.

Oh and thanks for the cat pic!
