More from Day 2

I found out why Romanians all seem so fit yesterday. We walked about 8 or so miles over the course of the day. Visiting parks, botanical gardens, places in town where other's are all walking, the train station...etc. The people here love being outdoors and it seemed like ALL of Romania was outside yesterday. Which was cool, but made it a bit crowded in some places.

A random pic showing the awesome way that Romanian people park, this is a very minuscule look at it... when there are a lot of cars it's rather amazing. When people need to find a place there usually are gypsy kids around to make sure and find a spot for you, they'll point it out and guide you in, then ask for a few Lei to watch it and keep it safe for you. Again, another small thing that reminded me a bit of Mexico when I was there a few years ago.




Lovely way to run power lines... all the power, cable, and telephone lines run above ground in this city. This is a common site, and actually not as bad as some that we've seen...lol. I know the safety minded folks at Intel may even cringe a bit when seeing this.




Anthony trying to use a pay phone that he was ultimately not smart enough to figure out. We ended up stopping a random dude and asking if we could call the number of our Romanian homies to meet up with them. Luckily he spoke English so that worked out. Then we got together and had more beer... of course.
