Actually the big dog round-up took place a couple of years before the Japanese man was killed by a dog. Of course there were still some dogs left, and he was very unlucky.

I like the bit about stray dogs :0 I’d also like to try a mititei! Looks like kefta.

I agree about the dogs. Did you get a chance to get out of the city and see more of Romania? I was only in Bucharest for 1 night, but spent about 2 weeks in the rest of Romania. Transylvania was really neat.

You’re lucky you didn’t have my friend, Brittany, with you. One look at a stray cat or dog and she turns to a puddle of goo. And this is in China, where the stray animals are especially dirty and gross. I quickly learned to just keep walking when she gets sidetracked by a stray, otherwise I would be standing there for a good 20 minutes.

Stray dogs can be pretty scary, see them all of the time in our travels. However I think that a lot of countries are starting to round them up like they did in Romania. Seeing less and less each trip. I am with you on that issue, not sure where I stand.

Alan:

1. In the future, please do not leave pics of your poops on your blog…my mom reads this stuff!!

2. My trainer, a 30-something Rumainian woman, is going to love this post. I can’t wait to share it with her and to find out if she gives massages!

Safe travels!

I loved the article, Alan! I dare to say it was perfect: a great mix of interesting facts (I had no idea about the stray dogs story!) + fun + photos. The article length was ideal if you ask me, so I really think you’re on to a winning recipe here!

That map is crazy, man! But totally in line with what I told you yesterday about how politicians do things around here. When I was in Prague, or London, there were all sorts of museums, events, live concerts, etc. on the map. And the sad part is… we have those as well, there are things to see! Why do we act like Bucharest is the new Bangkok? Beats me!

What can I say? I’m not all that surprised though. I mean… here’s the Romanian minister of tourism (this is no joke, it’s the real thing). So we’re not gonna get well too soon!

You know what? All that meat opened my appetite for a “mititei” BBQ. I think I’ll post a recipe for home made “mititei” on my food blog!

Looking forward to some cool articles from Tirana!
