Romania felt like another home to us. We spent quite awhile catching up on a few production items and definitely was a hard place to leave. After 5 days, we felt like we knew Brasov like the back of our hands. A quaint little town on the edge of a booming tourism curve with everything one could ask for. Their own version of the Hollywood sign, ski/snowboarding only 15 minutes away, and the culture of Transylvania to name only a few. Mostly the nice people were the main reason to go there. We met new friends and got to know a bit of history about Romania.
Our new friend Cornelius took us around Brasov and gave us insight that could not be researched or read anywhere else. He took us to a cemetery and told us about Romanian tradition. Then we moved on to the old walls of the city and the citadel up in the mountains of Brasov. Lastly we spent some time at a local bar with such interesting people ranging from artists, poets, and fellow travelers.
We also went up to the mountain to have some fun in the snow. Zach took the camera down the mountain once and I was able to meet the owners of the Florine Ski Shop. They were incredibly nice and I even signed the wall. So if anyone goes to Florine's ski shop, look to the right when you first walk in, you should be able to see my name written on the wall in sharpie!
There's way more to talk about in Brasov however those are best saved for the segment of the episode to watch! Until next time.
