Among Brasov's most popular -informal- tourist attractions is 'I want to see a bear'. After sunset, any taxi-driver in town will bring you to one of the suburbs - as long as you mention the word 'urs'. At the edge of the city, where mankind and nature colide, the taxi will stop near a few garbage containers.There they are, two real-life bears, enjoying their dinner, apparantly not disturbed by the headlights. And this shows the problem - the bears are not afraid of humans anymore. According to my taxi-driver -information provided without extra charge- the latest victim is an Italian tourist who was stupid enough to try feed one of those 'cute' animals. Let's stay in the cab...
Total price? 100.000 Lei.

He Olwin,
It all sounds good, genuinely Eastern-European. I'm glad you're having a nice time over there, and I can completely imagine why you haven't written to all of us before. Of course you didn't!
Hope to read some more of you soon!
