I vant to suck your blood
Transylvania is awesome. I'm staying at a really nice hostel in Brasov and have spent the past two days with four of my roommates -- two brothers from Brazil, an English guy and a guy from ... St. Louis. Funny.
Today we went to Dracula's castle. Not quite as scary as we thought it would be (it feels more like a cozy log cabin than a castle). But it was cool. We also visited the town where "Cold Mountain" takes place.
The one weird thing about Romania, though, is the money. First, it's waterproof. And second, there's new money and old money and they're the same, except the old money has four extra zeros on it ... so a 10 bill is worth the same as a 100,000 bill. Makes things difficult.
Overall, I really like Romania, though. Brasov is like the second biggest city in the country and it's SMALL. It's really nice to be out of a big city and into a smaller place. And it's really beautiful here, with the Carpathian Mountains all around. Two thumbs up!

Dracula's castle? That is sooo totally cool. Although I would expect it to be bigger and scarier looking.
