  I’m not very keen on Romanian history but I visited a museum in Bukarest once that kind of explained some of the things he did. IIRC he forced women to have lots of children, right? And that’s also related to the many “rural” kids on the street, isn’t it?

  Romania was one of my favorite trips ever. Beautiful country. Bukarest was also super interesting with intense contrasts. Beautiful old but pretty beaten up “French” style buildings, brutal Soviet style building blocks, insane roads with a bazillion lanes but at the same time a beautiful center with some parks where you can walk a lot. Modern, old, rich and poor. All at the same time. I spent most of my time around Brasov though. Beautiful place.

    Why aren’t you keen on the history if it was one of your favorite trips?

      I wasn’t there for the history, or let’s say not for that part of the history. I was there for the historic parts of Brasov and the surroundings.

      I just stumbled into this museum in Bukarest and learned a bit about the dictatorship.

      I read it as “I’m not very knowledgeable” rather than “I don’t like it”.
