You'd be surprised how touchy people are about their photos. Funny thing is I decided to send my blog on an indefinite vacation. Its been working far too hard. =) Anyway, I'm 10 days out. Here is my contact if your still up for a beer. =D xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx [<em>Edited</em> -R!] Too cool. Thank you! You’d be surprised how touchy people are about their photos.

I loved your bit about the gelfling. Hilarious. Fyurien - I can dig through some photos of Bucuresti and other places to see what I come up with. I'll post soon-ish (I think). In the meantime, any photograph on my website which is taken by me is licensed under Creative Commons... which means so long as you attribute it to Romer!can (with a link, preferably) then you are free to make use for non-commercial purposes. I'm guessing that in your case, if I assume correctly, the legalese means: go for it! Thanks for asking; no one likes a scalper. Mandy - Welcome to the show! I loved your bit about the gelfling.

Something that most anyone seeing it would be able to identify. It seems like finding a reasonable picture is just about impossible. So I figured I should just go to the source. My contact on the inside as it were =). Please let me know. I'll make sure you get full credit. I like the Bran castle pictures. Can I take one of those, or do you have something more obviously Romanian. Thanks Hi,

I haven't been there. To either. But judging by its position on the map, I have a very strong feeling the Romer!can show will find its way to Bistrita before long. As one who drinks beer once or twice during a decade, I have come to know the words sticla, cutila, doza, pahar, and even halba. Heh. Poor Roy! Every time I go into Carrefour the checkout person asks me if I have coupons (not sticle). I actually have no idea what word they are actually saying. I just reply, "nu am." If Roy is ever bad, you can punish him by sending him into the deli to pick up some toba. I think the mere sight would make him regret whatever incident caused you to inflict this visual damage. xizzle - it wuz off da hizzle, fo rizzle, no lizzle. Romanians are great to party with. They actually contribute alcohol, they suffer bathroom door issues with humor, they don't break things, and they don't steal things. Frankly, it's anti-American! Alex - And I'm sure you can image that if I had put up a detailed photo at far higher resolution, you'd be able to see how shabbily constructed the door really is. That angled piece of wood is not part of a solid piece, as you may have guessed. In fact, it doesn't even sit very well. There are obvious gaps where it pretends to connect with the main door piece. Actually, as I look at the door right this very moment, I think it is constructed from about 20 pieces of wood (not counting the trim!). How does the glass stay in place? Let's just agree it's precarious, at best. RS - Can do! I'll see if I can help.

I don't get/like this glass at jaunty angles, but I guess in this instance it proved to be of benefit. What is with Romanian doors?

I was first introduced to it last Christmas in my native Bistrita. I love that place. They have really good lunch meats and chesees. Roy, my significant other was so proud to go in there by himself and order sfert de kil salammi and do other grocery shopping. He was only a little bit embaressed at the check out by not understanding what they asked him about "sticle". He thought that meant coupons. LOL kaufland…mmm.
