And sometimes early afternoon, dinnertime and any other time they feel so inclined. Dogs also bark all night long and even though I have earplugs in, somehow the sound penetrates and keeps me wide awake. This is one of Romania’s quirks… here are some more things I’ve found out so far.
Romania fell from Communism in 1989.
Romanians do NOT like the breeze, wind or anything that blows. They think it will make you sick. Imagine it’s 85 degrees out and sunny. Wouldn’t a nice breeze be nice? Oh no, not here, it’ll give you pneumonia (or so they think). This explains why this kind woman on the train (to my left) didn’t want us to keep the window open, even though it had to be at least 90 in our train car.
The old ladies are super cute and most of them are Orthodox which means that they go to an Orthodox church and wear these cute little head coverings.
The Orthodox church split off from the Catholic church a long time ago… i’m bad with dates… sorry. But one thing I do know about the orthodox faith is that they don’t actually have a Relationship with God or read the Bible for themselves. They get baptized to get their ticket to heaven and that’s about it.
