The United Principalities

A bit of history that at one point during my schooling in Romania I knew:

On February 5th, 1862, Alexadru Ioan Cuza merged Wallachia (?ara Româneasc?) and Moldavia(Moldova) forming the United Principalities (what was to become years later the Kingdom, then the People’s Republic, then the Socialist Republic and finally just Romania).

Pretty impressive. I really enjoy learning about the history of Romania and luckily En.Wikipedia.org and Ro.Wikipedia.org make it very easy to find information in one place. Especially when it is mentioned on the front page.

We’ve just returned from a 3.5 day trip to Brasov (Brah-shov) and it was an amazing city. The area around it was amazing too. We visited a fort and a castle (“Dracula’s” or so they market it) and the views were amazing.

RasnovThe picture is from Rasnov Castle/Fort which was rebuilt from ruins. The turks try assaulting it but the real fort is about 100 metres in, behind another ~3 metre thick wall.

Well I am here. We’re here actually, all 4 of us. The trip was alright, crying babies REALLY annoy me but more on that in a later post.

Back in 2 weeks, suckahs.
