You know you’re in Romania when…
… rabidly pseudo-communist authorities operating within the people’s national transportation and highway bureaus unrelentingly seek — at every turn — to thwart your natural right to expose private auto parts in the public space.
Shocking, I know, but unequivocal nonetheless. To ensure clarity in messaging, Romanians receive directives in easily understood, beginner-level English that they are unable to enjoy the same freedoms of their westernly counterparts within the European Union.
Take heart, dear friends. While there is no car penis, it would appear the next 2 kilometers are naught but sani.

The carpenis is okay, i think, if you had thought about it, all allong with some other winnah’s but, the sani is really a hit.

He lives!
Makes it look like it’s going to be a bumpy ride for any Car Penises, or maybe it’s no carpenises, boobs only.

No, no, it’s “cur-penis,” as the closest pronunciation to the misspelling. You are either a) not to sterilize the maidanezi, or b) not to stick your penis anywhere near the other thing. I know, it’s a setback for the gay rights parade a few months ago, but this is rural Romania, yes?
Or maybe they’re worried, inexplicably, about a rag (carpa) from the Serbian city of Nis. (Which is actually pronounced “Neesh” with a “sh.”) Not that government authorities, low or high, are known, on average, for literacy.
Welcome back, bai!

Hey dude, how come you weren’t there at the Halloween party with Leslie and the bunch to explain the hoe that Dezbracatu of Carcotasii is a comic and she shouldnt’ve shown-up without that Hollywood broomstick stuck up her fanny?
You could’ve also helped out by explainning to that Austrian diplomat that “moca” in Romanian means “free” and not the coffee that he so kindly recommended Dezbracatu could enjoy in Salzburg hahahahahahahahahhaha -Romanian humour is getting better every day.

shouldn’t've shown-up WITH…my bad…it’s the browser :)

I’m sorry but I felt like I had to make this more clear: Leslie Hawke is a fraud! She came to Romania with a good will probably but she stayed because someone “told” her that she could make money here.
Consider this for a moment: Leslie is the “founder” of the Halloween party charade in Romania! To be more exact, Leslie got into the rubbing elbows with the rich and corrupt for several years now. Why arn’t there invited to this “pay through-yer-nose” ball ordinary people, Roma’s for one that she brags all over the Net that she came to Romania to help out?
The pure, bitter truth my friends is: Leslie is a Hollywood fake that came stayed in Romania because everybody kisses her ass and she likes it!

Go back home! Go back in America!
November 5th, 2007 at 8:05 pm
Americans are backstabbers! After they were allied with Seriba both in World War I and World War II, now they support albanians on the Kosovo problem. The same albanians who welcomed the nazis with open arms and killed serbs in the name of racial purity. Way to go America! Democracy and human rights all the way!! Fucking hypocties.

Where might you be from Epirotu? I’m sure everyone here could make a thousand generalizations about YOU and your national heritage…for instance…if you are from Romania…you could be nothing more than a sneaky, theiving gypsy…one who would slit your tire in the city just to steal from the front seat while fixing the problem…or maybe you just sit around drinking tuica and wishing for the old communist days…when everyone had it sooo great right? think before you “speak” your ignorance is slightly more than just annoying….

I really liked that “Go to America!” line !!! Unless you own Romania, you need to chill cuz I am also Romanian. Romania is also my home. Besides, dude you’re confused! The war with the serbs ended a long time ago and Hell! this is not a forum about that war! Why dont you Google yourself away and cry about your serbs to some1 who cares.
On the same token, I was actually critical of what some Americans do while in Romania preciselly because this is a place I call “home” and I care about it.

ahh gotta love romanian signage….or lack there of in most cases.
