[Name Removed], thanks for writing. I do, in fact, share visions that Romania has stories other than the tired, old tales of yesterdecade. I'll contact you via email and see how I can help on this topic. [Edited by request -R!]

Dear Romer!can,

I’m a [xxxxxx] journalist out on a trip to Romania and the wish to come back with some articles that show a different image than the usual cliché (you know: Dracula, poverty, corruption). Having read through your blog makes me think that talking to you would be very helpful. Unfortunateley I’ll stay only in Bucharest. Is there any chance, that you might show up there? Or would you contact me via my email?

I’ll be off for Bucharest on Sunday, 14.1. and will stay until Saturday 20.1. at the Ibis Hotel Gara de Nord. Looking forward to hear from you,
regards

I can imagine precisely how you’d use that, too…

Mist – Honey, I fear for any product that makes you feel sexier. I get the impression many of your readers are constantly in danger of heart-attack as it is. What we need to do is find some nice Romanian guy to propose marriage to ya; that’ll make for great blog fodder.

Bogdan – Hmm, yes, the names are equally uncreative. I suppose an apologist could explain it away as brands named after national and regional territories having instant credibility inherited from the history of their namesake. Transil Distilleries? Ugh.

Well, now, I’m all in favor of debilitating amounts of radio-active uranium flavoring my favorite mineral water. Mmm mmm mmmm. Someone’s gotta challenge Perrier in the American market afterall. It’s only the *deadly* amounts that rattle my cage, so please build your water source at least 15 feet from the nearest environmental disaster.

A misreading as Farmalot’s “Santa” got me laughing.

CO – Dude! That bunny is floppin’ big…

Monsoux – From Bucuresti to Cluj and places in between, I’ve seen Mona in a number of households and always wanted to photograph it. It’s funny to watch the look on the faces of families as you -the guest- come out of their bathroom, go grab your camera, and immediately head back in. Some flash later, they want to know what in the world you’re doing in there.

Premium Crap! Now you’ve gone and spoiled the surprise of a future post… That or just invited yourself into a collaborative post. Is said photo creative commons?

Scandalous distileries, scandalous products, but apparently very popular. Anyway, in a somehow similar note, remind me to send a picture my American friends took while in Sfantu Gheorghe: Crap… Premium.
