Well, that's an arguable point.

But humorous, nonetheless. :alien51:

Cheers, man. Or as they say here in Romania: Noroc!

You are in Romania? If at all possible, do you think you could venture to the site of this article..... maybe post some pictures of the symbols they are talking about? http://authspot.com/short-stories/romanian-mysteries/ It would make for a pretty interesting thread.

From article....

Old Sinca, a small village from the County of Fagaras, is an ancient village in which four churches were built. Three of them were made out of one, but one of them was built in stone, this being the only one still standing.

Although the most of the church is now destroyed, some bits and pieces are still standing. Some people say this church was one of the early Christian cult places in the country, but the inscriptions carved into the walls are all non-Christian, researchers estimating the church being built around 7000 years ago, in a cave near the old village.

I was in the area a couple of days ago, but didn't have time to visit a lot of the interesting small villages. I was in Brasov, which isn't far away from Old Sinca - at all. I am planning to go back in September (when the tourists leave and the weather isn't so hot), and I met a cute girl from Fagaras, so I will definitely ask her about it and do my best to go there.

That's exactly the kind of place I'd like to explore.

Currently, I'm on a working vacation in Vama Veche on the Black Sea coast. I went to the mountains for a few days to escape the heat and the crowds, but still encountered heat and crowds, and even higher prices than here on the coast. At least in Brasov.

The mountains there are beautiful and mysterious, thanks for the info.

You couldn't find the Punk Rock Hotel on Google Street View?

I found it and tried to embed it - no luck...

It's right on the main road.

SEND IN THE DRONES!! :alien51:

Ah, that's Casa Andra on the left - where the chef's assistant coughed up some free extra toppings onto my pizza while "assisting" the chef. She didn't even cover her mouth while looking over his shoulder and hacking like a TB patient.

I'm normally not the type to complain - I'm a junk food junkie - but I prefer not to see what actually goes on in the kitchen.

Unfortunately for Casa Andra, and fortunately for me, I guess, their kitchen is in full view of the patrons.

I didn't want to make a scene, but I diplomatically informed the waiter of what I witnessed and tipped normally for the bottled water I drank. And then I left the scene.

I hope she didn't lose her job - I actually felt bad about the whole thing, but jeez... :vomit:
