Brasov, Romania - Krakow, Poland

(the Brasov version of the Hollywood sign)

Hi! I was picked up by two backpackers just outside Brasov, an old town in the transylvanian mountains. They took me up on a mountain so I could see the town from above. It was so high up and I was scared to death, they even put me on a fence from which I could fall off!


The day after we went to Chisinau, the capital of Moldova. On the night bus they showed several Russian movies with no text. We played the guessing game about the plot in the movies, but in the end we din't understand anything. Chisinau was hot anyway, and I tasted the best local beer.


After a few days we left again, for Ukraine. First to Odessa by the black sea - but they didn't take me out of their backpacks even once, so I haven't seen anything from that town. But it seemed like they were spending time at the beach, because afterwards I had to lie beside some wet bikinis and bad smelling towels. They went on to Lviv, also Ukraine, where they took me to a pharmacy museum. One of them was a medicine student and she was really fascinated by all the old pills and stuff.


Later they went on to Krakow, and here they left me immediately. I liked the company of the girls, and I think they liked me, but I hope the next person that find me don't store me in his/her bag as much as they did... Anyway, bye for now!
