Do believe me that things have changed radically in 17 years! Altough there are still poor locations around the country, the conditions are much much better and there are actually many foreign investors that want to open bussinesses in romania.

Buna Duminyatza! (spelling??!) Thank you for your comment. I'm not involved with Romania - I shot this film in '91 and then went back to Iasi as a driver in Dec '94 with another group - thru the Carpathians in the depth of winter - I have never felt the cold since! Fascinating trips and incredibly generous people. all the best.

Ladies and gentlemen.
Im a 44 yrs old enginner of IASI ROMANIA. Unfortunately these were GOOD times compared to Romania of God s year 2008. This country has been globally "privatized" by a gang of mobsters and almost 60% of the populace is now living in harsh poverty (compared to a percentage of cca 25% in 1991).
My wife is a doctor and we have a 6 yrs old boy. Three persons, we live very hard with cca 1000 euro a montha.
