Trip to Romania

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

While I was in Gyula, I borrowed Monika’s bicycle and went riding to Romania. Gyula is a border town, so it was a very short ride. I went through the border town on the other side and rode around for about an hour. I took a few photos below.

If you have seen the movie Borat, you should note that the impoverished sequences showing Kazakhstan were actually photographed in Romania. I could see why. Below was a horse cart I passed outside of town which was clearly still being used as functional transportation.

Let me check my watch here. Yes, it is the twenty-first century.
