They’ve got a post-post-modernist train that goes between the airport and Gara du Nord. But the old school model was much more comfortable. If only they could get them to go faster than 50 km. I’ve got two 12-hour overnight journeys coming up – I’ll follow up.

CB,

Yes, there’s that. Apparently Romanians aren’t pleased that Nadia Comăneci chose Oklahoma over her home country. I understand. I mean, Oklahoma?

Numa Numa is oft cited as Romania’s greatest cultural export to the internet generation, but Wikipedia says the band is Moldovan.

Always make sure to get a window seat. If you ever do the Beograd, Serbia to Bar,Montenegro line, you will be thankful for this.
