Travelling to Romania is like travelling back in time in Europe. Life is still uncomplicated and simple and you see a lot of horse-drawn wagons. The people are, with the exception of the women working behind counters, friendly and hospitable. And also important: the beer is unbelievably cheap. Highlights were trekking in the Carpatian mountains and a visit to a gypsy village.

Gypsy village Sibiu
 
In Sibiu I visited a gypsy ghetto. Like many towns and villages in Romania you have the town
where the Romanians live and then somewhere on the outskirts you have the gypsy "village".
There is no running water so the gypsies have to walk everyday to the town to collect it.
I met a gypsy-boy named Steve, he was a very smart and nice kid. He told me he had learned
the little English he could speak from Cartoon Network (so TV is good for something after all).
It's sad to see somebody with the capabilities he has, life in such miserable circumstances
with not much opportunity to develop and use his capacities.
