Braşov – part 1
2 May
I’ve always wanted to visit Braşov. I’ve been there once, but it doesn’t really count: it was raining like hell, it was cold and ugly outside and my main reason for being there was a book fair so I spent most of my time there at the fair. But everyone who has ever visited Braşov told me it’s a lovely city and I’ve been wanting to visit it again ever since, so this weekend we had a 1-day trip there.
We had no idea what we wanted to see/visit, but like always, we just walked around wherever we thought it would be nice and tried not to be your typical tourists. I wanted to see their Cărtureşti and at one point as we were walking around the city centre we just realised we were standing outside it! I totally love how it looks! I think my holidays in Baia Mare would be considerably less boring if we had such a bookstore there. Well, one can only hope.
The city itself is incredibly nice. I like it better than Sibiu and I think I also like it better than Timişoara, which is something! I think that Braşov has more old parts than Timişoara and it’s closer to Bucharest, which is a big plus if I ever want to move somewhere else 
I don’t mind that not all the houses are renovated, quite the contrary. I daydream about living in one of those old houses with big windows. I think everyone who’s living in a communistic block dreams of moving out at one point. I’m so sick and tired of these ugly buildings! It’s always a breath of fresh air to walk around street or cities that don’t have this communistic architecture. I could move to another city just for its architecture.
But until then I’d better make my days here as colourful as possible
ha, avem si noi poza cu Gott, chiar am stat la hotelul ala.

incredibly nice? boy, how easy you can get fooled…
Oh, and the first picture is a sort of a “statement of ownership”
@Yuki: nouă ne-a plăcut mult la pubul ăla
Pozele de acolo în următorul post. Eh, am stat numai o zi acolo, da’ data viitoare când mergem, promit că mergem să mâncăm plăcintă de mere 
@Elena: awww, thank you!
@vio: înseamnă că tre’ să vezi iar Braşovul, cu amorul de acum
Sigur i-ar plăcea lui P. 
@Béranger: you’re being a scrooge again
Braşov is an incredibly nice city, even if you don’t want to admit it. Of course, it’s different when you actually live there, but until then, it’s awesome 
Statement ownership my ass
)) 
Oh, he doesn’t own you? You feminist thing!
Ohh, you went to Brasov on the summit of “Timber”
However, the book shop is great, it seems almost incredible that nothing changes in Brasov 
My books? Sorry, but i wasn’t in Romania in this spring break. Love, Ralf
@Ralf: Your books are fine. Can I look in the bag and choose one to read? Please come and visit us
I’ll be away this summer (maybe we’ll see each other in Dresden 
), but I’m waiting for you to come back this autumn 
Lots of hugs and kisses!
take whatever you need… we’ll see.
love from Ralf
