I do remember those times. No water, electricity… doing homework at candle light. In my town, Oradea I’ve seen a lot of improvements in the past 7 years. By the way, my sister-in-law calls me a DP (displaced person).

I advise you to learn how to fish and grow and harvest your own fruits and vegetables. The end is near! ;)

I have always hated this no hot and/or cold water period. 2 weeks revisions, accidents and other such mishaps that are completely out of line!

ack! Poor you. I hope the water situation improves.

Happy July 4th to a displaced American.

I’m interested to read your take on the economic growth of the region. I have such a bad perception of eastern Europe (dark, dreary, depressing). Thanks for the enlightnenment.

I think the most outrageous thing in Bucharest and Romania in general is that you can no longer build your own central heating for hot water and heating

This isn’t true is it? In Miercurea Ciuc you can definitely get off the system in this way – in fact the local and national government are actively promoting that people do so – currently there is an offer that if an entire apartment building comes off the system and installs independent heating/hot water and installs those new PVC windows which are currently all the rage here, the national government will contribute one third of the cost and the local government wil do the same.

The apartment I have just moved to has independent heating/hot water.

Maybe it’s different in Bucharest, but given that the government is involved with the scheme mentioned above, it seems unlikely.
