 So
I went out to Dracula's Castle. This is the bed that he slept
in. Dark but beautiful. I went there with a Japanese girl who
barely spoke English. I was amazed at her courage.
The women who are custodians of the place take advantage of the job by storing sweaters and blankets that they have knit in side rooms and taking the occasional tourist (like me) aside and trying to sell them. |

 Allegedly
the bear skin on the floor is from a bear the Cheaucescu shot. This
is also in the castle. |

 This
is a castle in Sinaia I wanted to see. I took a taxi cab from Brasov
only to find out that the castle was closed the day I went. Oh
well. So back to the train and on to Bucharest. |
||
 Yep
- it's a sugar packet from the McDonald's in Bucharest, Romania. I
stopped in Bucharest only to change trains to go to Sofia, Bulgaria.
Bucharest is noted for the large number of poor children who huff (that is
get high on inhalants) to ward off the pain of hunger. Tragic.
Don't give children money - give them food. Anyway, there was
nothing I wanted to see in Bucharest. |
