Greetings from Romania

Hello Markus,

Imagine my surprise and joy when I discovered that such a great, extensive and caring detailed report was presented for the Purists. I am a Romanian (actually a Romanian-German, as part of my ancestors were those Transsylvanian Saxons), and I rediscovered with your help some of the beauties (along with the 'challenges' - dreadful roads sometimes) of my native country. And it is a fascinating country indeed - somehow it would fit in the 'beyond the Wall' geography of George R. R. Martin's 'Song of Ice and Fire'.

You have lead me to the firm conclusion that in 2009 I will plan my vacation in a country I have yet to learn a lot about... in my very own Romania.

Vielen Dank und Alles Beste im Neuen Jahr,
Christian

PS: A good article on Vlad Tepes is the following: en.wikipedia.org . Furthermore, Vlad Dracul (father of Vlad Tepes), was called as such due to the fact that he was elected by the Emperor Sigismund to be part of the order of the Dragon - 'Societas Draconistrarum'), order which is associated historically with the one of Calatrava... Hence, there is a clear, strong scientic connection between Dracula and Patek Philippe
