Day 65:
- Breakfast with yoghurt, homemade Korean jam, honey and biscuits.
- Drop luggage at Gara. Very leakey. Drove to palace.

- 17 tonne carpet and drapes weighing couple of tonnes.
- The 6 times built staircase.
- top floors "just (boring) offices"
- Walk in rain to Piat,a Unirii. Nice tree-lined boulevard.
- Commie blocks remind me of China. Advertising everywhere. Alexandru liked it.
- A district remind me of Xi Dan and umbrella selling
- Look at map in subway.
- Salami survey, 27, no foreigners.
- Piat,a Victorii and Peasant museum.
- Peasant museum very eclectic. "You are in a very special museum, out goal is to make you happy"
- Strangely worded handwritten boards, wall writings, pieces placed everywhere, painted walls, feels like a home rather than a museum.
- Walk to gara. Ask way.
- Metro to Victorii, miss walking tour of Universit,ats... should have planned better.

- Security line, 10 min. Walk around corner, see long customs line.
- Jewish very animated. Portugese not so friendly.
- Met Michelle first tie flyer.
- People cut in line and run ahead.
- Fed up and stopped a woman cutting in line.
- Run to gate-> Athens. Find flight moved since passengers not there.
- Just sit down, announcement. Crown "ooh" reaction and all move.
- Wait board, just sit down and start.
- 9 lei water. "Thieves".
- Didn't believe price, ask again, etc.
- cockpit door not locked, flies open during flight.
- Met 2nd first flier. They talk lots in Romanian.
