    My hubby's family is from a small village near Sibiu, Arpas de jos (sp?) in Transylvania. Looks like you were a little further north and west. From the pics I have seen of that area of Romania, it looks like it's beautiful.

    I think that is true of lot of former eastern europe, the changes afer perestroika came too fast for people to adjust, and some took advantage of the confusion.
    I've not been to Romania, though I travel in Europe a lot, and have friends in Russia and Poland that I visit now and again : )

    We've heard about a lot of the corruption from some of his family members that have more recently moved to the US. We are hoping to get over there one of these years.

    Just remember that the cops can confiscate your car for 'offences', whether they were real or imagined. And strangely they tend to confiscate the newer foreign cars, never the trabbies : )
