This is an international music festival, organised by the cultural scene of the city, and sponsored by many important business institutions from the whole Romania.
This famous annual festival in Brasov is a tradition and a pride for the city, and takes place in the centre of the city, in the Council Square.

Romania has a long tradition of beer brewing. The process was introduced by the Transylvanian Saxons (German colonists) some centuries ago. You still find many beers with German names, e.g. Bergenbier or Golden Brau.
I tried Romania's "King of Beers" Ursus which has been brewed since 1878 in Cluj-Napoca.
The brewery is nowadays owned by South African Breweries as a part of SABMiller.
Another beer I drank was Ciuc. It is brewed in Miercurea-Ciuc and at present the brewery belongs to Heineken Romania.
I liked both beers, maybe with slight advantages for the Ursus beer.

Although Romania joined the European Union (EU) on the 1st of January 2007, they don't have the Euro as currency. Romania is planning to join the Eurozone in 2014.
Since the 1st of July 2005 the official Romanian currency is the Leu (Plural: Lei), which is divided into 100 Bani. The ISO code for Lei is RON (Romanian New Lei).
Before this date the curreny was also called Leu, but had four more 0, which means 1 new Lei equals 10.000 old Lei. The ISO code for the old Lei was ROL (Romanian Lei).
You can get your Romanian money with a credit or debit card from cash points or just by exchanging your local money at one of the bureaux de change.

The local architecture in Sinaia is quite appealing, both for squirrels and people. (Don't tell anyone, but this roof is a favorite of mine. I LOVE to slide down the roof. Now, I admit that there is an advantage to my size.... I don't think YOU could do it! heehee) I think that this is a very pretty place. How about you?

I suppose this was the Soviet Union's revenge for the Romanian Army participation in the Stalingrad offensive in 1944
