My First Day in Bucharest - 31/07/04

Hi,

I am at an internet cafe rite now and am going to have dinner soon. Things are ok here though I have yet to see another Chinese in this place. Saw one Asian though. This place really looks like a third world communist country. Buildings quite drab. People here are quite disparate. There is the middle class who dress up quite a bit and there are the dirt poor people out on the streets. Cars being driven are so old and to see a clean car is a rare thing. A mercedes benz is like a gem. Contrast that with Singapore...

Anyway, the hotel I am staying in is a little grotty. Am going to move the youth hostel tomorrow which I believe is going to be much better. At least will have some interaction with fellow travellers. Am staying here for one more night before moving off to Brasov and see some castles and do some hiking. Heard that the view is going to be fantastic. Hold me in your prayers and ask God to grant me safety as I go off the beaten track. Also, please pray for good weather as I will be at the mercy of the elements when I go hiking. Thanks!!

Catch you all again the next time I get to another Internet cafe....

Cheerios!
Jerry
