[TravelPod.com Recent Updates] Count Dracula, was born in Sighisoara, another absolutely gorgeous medieval Transylvanian town about two hours by train from Brasov. I saw the home in which he was born, now a tacky tourist restaurant next to the clock tower on the highest point in town and near a beautiful square with a number of excellent little cafes.

[Killing Batteries] Romania/Moldova lists: You get it all here - the usual local drivers invoking the patented Romanian combination of bursting appendix urgency crossed with ringing cell phone distraction.

[Eoin Grosch] Brasov: Jason would be hosting us. He’s a peace corps volunteer who’s been in Romania for a few years. Really generous guy, very laid-back, and willing to help. There were already two other girls staying with him. Two Americans from FSU. Oh man, it was like they just stepped out of a alternative frat party. American Apparel, hairy legs and armpits, politics, and mostly talking about wanting to get “tanked” or how they were “tanked”

[TravelPod.com Recent Updates] Left Romania for Bulgaria - Razgrad, Bulgaria: Ok so after Cluj I really started my hitch hiking and went to sibiu for the TIFF (transylvania international film festival) to see a few movies (saw an excellent documentary of Bob Dylan on a temporary outside movie theatre), couch surfed with two german guys doing their required social service (i think its a really cool idea that its required to do a year of social service in germany either in the military, within germany, or as these guy's case internationally), saw germany lose to i think Turkey?? and listened to a bunch of german curse words while they were losing.

[Travel & Tourism] Romania- Gem in Eastern Europe: The Black Sea and Brasov ski resorts are the usual destinations for the visitors to Romania, and whilst they offer a wide choice of entertainment, these are the usual type of facility, which can be found almost anywhere.

[TravelPod.com Recent Updates] Transylvania - In search of Dracula on Valentines. - Brasov, Romania: I hiked all the way up that slippery snowy hill by myself and where I though I might have dropped the card, got on my hands and knees and pushed the snow and dirt aside in hopes of finding that card instead on that hill I found nothing but a path of empty dreams.
