Will check this out, thanks for the referral.... my daughter just spent 2 semesters teaching in Romania and the Communist sub-culture still seems strong. An interesting contrast between the wacky colors of Austin-Powers and CCCP battleship-grey. She had a difficult time integrating as "outsiders" are still suspicious..... I chuckle thinking someone would regard my cherub-faced daughter as some mole.
From what I've heard Romania is pretty dark, but I like the Romanians I know from work. Very warm and genuine people. Your daughter must have great stories!
