Sep 26th 2007 6:25PM you can find a romanian restaurant in Chicago and a couple in NY.in downtown Detroit they have a romanian grill where you can eat shwarma.
about "mici" they have the meat prepared and ready to grill in some polish food delis in Troy,MI(they have beef tripe soup there too-"ciorba de burta") and polenta from Kroger with cottage cheese its almost the same as "mamaliguta cu brinza"
for "sarmale" you should pay me a visit in Michigan :P

My Bloody Romania: The Royal (Mud) Treatment {Gadling}
Sep 25th 2007 8:57PM At the end of this summer I traveled to Pennsylvania and West Virginia and the landscape reminded me of Southern Bucovina.
I don't know your plans for the next days but if you'll go to Durau and you'll be in the mood for hiking you can climb on Ceahlau.They have there a monastery near the top of the mountain, its not like Meteora in Greece but the view its interesting(I would recommend the trail that passes near Duruitoarea waterfall).
*I m still waiting for that password.. every time when I comment here I have to confirm my comments, but I guess that this doesn't depend on you, it's Gadling problem.*
My Bloody Romania: The real Dracula's Castle {Gadling}
Sep 16th 2007 12:37AM good job!
The Carpatian Castle written by Jules Verne is inspired by some stories about that region.
I ve tried once to go there with some friends but a wild thunderstorm started after we entered in the forest.The road was very narrow and we met a monk who told us that is better to turn back and come again some other time.
I remember that years ago a group of priests tried to hallow the citadel.
Here is a short movie about all the sites of your quiz:

My Bloody Romania: Sibiu, slippery when wet {Gadling}
Sep 12th 2007 12:27AM tip: If you have time you should go in Rasinari,is on the same road as the Museum of Traditional Folk Civilization.
There you should visit Pensiunea Cioran(http://www.ruraltourism.ro/marg/penmarg/rasina/cioran/html/cioranro.html)where you can spend a night and have a great breakfast,or maybe have dinner there(call them,they have great food and I hope that "doamna Maria" is still there).
The Little Vampire can tell you more about Emil Cioran(the people that manage Pensiunea Cioran are his relatives, so it will be a cultural,philosophical and culinar trip,minutes away from Sibiu)
My Bloody Romania: Ia?i - some things don't change {Gadling}
Sep 11th 2007 11:50PM so in Iasi you stayed in Canta..it s interesting to see places that I know,like Iasi, in your blog. When you come back maybe we ll talk about your romanian experience and my american experience(I lived in Iasi and now I m living in Michigan)
My Bloody Romania: In which the author finally reaches Iasi after 49 hours of continuous travel and refuses to get out of bed for two days, but blogs anyway {Gadling}
Sep 11th 2007 11:22PM Delta Airlines didnt start the direct NY-Bucharest flights this summer?and about the luggage,how did you manage to convince them to take all of it in the flight from Bucharest to Iasi?because I know that usually they start to make faces(maybe something changed since 2006 when I ve met a couple coming from US in the Bucharest-Iasi train because they had "too much luggage to flight" - meaning two medium suitcases and a small one.
