The other one
David complained about not getting as much exposure as Alan. So here's a picture of him:
Meanwhile, Doug is in Craiova in Wallachia, about 3 hours drive from here. In good weather. However, it has begun to snow seriously again here in Bucharest. I wonder whether he'll make it back today.
Addendum: He did make it back. Much complaining about snow ploughs that don't plough and not seeing the road for snow ("kind of aiming at the most likely bit of flat whiteness"). It was worst around Pitesti, apparently. In the meantime, it has stopped to snow here in Bucharest. More snow announced, though. We'll see.

And my! David is such a little cherub.

me again. this is great stuff. just read about the serbian elections. did you read the book The Corrections? You'd love the dead on character of the Lithuanian thug/warlord, head of the npkkk3447 party, or something of that nature.

Glad you find it interesting! There'll be more in a bit.
_The Corrections_ is indeed a fun book. (Jonathan Franzen is the author, if anyone is interested.) Parts of his description of post-Communist Lithuania are satirical and deliberately over the top. Other parts are very accurate.
Romania... is something else again.
