We have also heard that if houses are not finished then they don't have to pay taxes.<br /><br />We have also notice the lack of colour but we have also noticed that buildings are being repainted with more colour than just the plain grey/white concrete from Soviet times. It also doesn't help with the time of year (no green grass and leaves on the trees) and the grey cloudy skies. We are sure that late spring, summer or early fall it would look totally different here. Most of the churches/monasteries are bright and colourful inside and out.<br /><br />It certainly has been a different experience for us here and we have learned a lot about Romania,Moldova and Transnistria that we hadn't known before. Travel is always a good thing! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51289092061845135532016-12-14T00:39:54.393-05:002016-12-14T00:39:54.393-05:00It depends on what is being counted as a country b...It depends on what is being counted as a country but yeah it is somewhere between 192 and 197 but only 27 for us and that is counting Transnistria.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-62727337017482870292016-12-14T00:36:41.175-05:002016-12-14T00:36:41.175-05:00The food was delicious and filling.The food was delicious and filling.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-68973418868109584172016-12-13T22:15:16.732-05:002016-12-13T22:15:16.732-05:00197 and 28 if you count Taiwan (and Transistria) 197 and 28 if you count Taiwan (and Transistria) Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974453598992131798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-44040452208213995642016-12-13T21:49:37.346-05:002016-12-13T21:49:37.346-05:00I guess rainy days and Mondays always get you down...I guess rainy days and Mondays always get you down? ;c)Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-62327793321165106922016-12-13T16:45:30.057-05:002016-12-13T16:45:30.057-05:00And a naughty goose too!And a naughty goose too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410619465952513730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-14310753778888506992016-12-13T15:42:31.611-05:002016-12-13T15:42:31.611-05:00Interesting about the Roma's.

One thing about this area that has stood out is the lack of color and of course the "Soviet" look to everything. I'm sure you've had a grand time exploring off the beaten path and I have sure enjoyed following along! Especially all the churches and citadels. Even though the colors are plain (on the outside), the architecture is impressive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036524099669735252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-81373001668217056432016-12-13T12:36:03.579-05:002016-12-13T12:36:03.579-05:00But there are 192 countries in the world...27 soun...But there are 192 countries in the world...27 sounds like nothing to us...Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-63671151920535048512016-12-13T12:16:50.739-05:002016-12-13T12:16:50.739-05:00Wonderful day of exploration!
