Romania

I haven't really discussed my time in Romania on this blog, despite the fact it is where I've stayed the longest (5 months). But there is a reason for that...Romania is not a great touristy nation (ok besides that whole Dracula thing). The thing that makes Romania amazing is the people, subsequently, staying in a tacky hotel and driving to Bran Castle for a week would most likely suck. I think most countries are like Romania in that they don't have fabulous tourist attractions (the Colosseum can't be everywhere) but there is something very organic and good about them that makes them thoroughly enjoyable, if you're invited in. If you do happen to visit Romania, or a country like Romania, go out and get involved. Meet as many people as possible and pray to god they offer to cook for you!!!
