Here i am again in front of the computer, testing my English skills 😊.
This entry is about Romania and how really beautiful it is, how people are so different in all parts of the country.
Last weekend i decided to hitch-hike around 700 km and to see a small part of Romania and to see some friends of mine in an AIESEC conference. So i took 2 new members from AIESEC Pitesti and we left to see a few towns in the heart of Romania (Valcea, Sibiu, Sighisoara, Sovata). During the 700 km we changed 10 cars and 2 buses.
The interesting part of this trip was that in every car we met new people and i realized that the people from the center of Romania are THE NICEST PEOPLE EVER. At first they are always smiling and they are ready to give you an information if you ask for it. They never accepted money when we offered to pay for the trip. The area that we visited was supposed to be inhabited by Hungarians and from the story that my parents use to tell me they are not friendly and they don't want to use the
Romanian language in that area. THIS IS BULLSHIT !!! They were nice with us and even thaw they didn't know much Romanian they tried to use it and have communication with us 😊. After this trip i realized even better that ROMANIA is still a country with old mentality and it will take YEARS to change, and this is because people needs to change first and by living with old conceptions this will take some time...
People in South of Romania are not like that, they asked for a lot of money when they took us into their cars and they are not opened to discussions 😞
In other words we went to Sibiu. Sibiu is the cultural capital of Europe in 2007, an old Romanian city with lots of small streets, large squares and the best coffee in Romania. The town welcomes you with a medieval air and the idea that behind every wall is a secret waiting to be discovered or a knight. At every step you have the feeling that from a small street a lady dressed like in 1700 will come out and smile showing you the way to the "small square", a place where
people met and have a chat, enjoy the Pictures for details :P
We had a coffee here and we were on our way to Sighisoara...
Sighisoara another old town is placed in the center of Romania, one of the oldest towns in Romania, we didn't had much time to visit this town but the parts that we saw were delicious and the architecture of the town gives you the feeling that you are back in 1600, just the cars and some young Rockers are ruining the image. One other thing that you notice is the stupidity of the Romanian people, building all kind of stores, pizza places, bars and other modern inventions in the old buildings.
This is it for now, i will be back with details about this trip....or from this towns.

looking good!
My very first remark- looking good! Not the country, I mean you :PPP. Now, about the Hungarians living in Transylvania, there has always been a debate on that, but I can honestly say, as I was born there and lived there and have many relatives there, that the Hungarian community living in Transilvania is really nice, the people are very friendly and always ready to help, all the talk is basically only politics, trying to divide and to make a mess out of things, serving political purposes, with no grounds whatsoever!!Pls try to update more often and have a whale of a time in Poland!!
