I think you can find much the same products here as you can in Canada or the US.<br /><br />I think the only time Kevin feels a little uneasy in getting into the busy roundabouts and then out on the right exit without hitting anyone. Sometimes it takes nerves of steel!

We are only a week into this trip and have only stayed at two places, taken the train once between two cities and as for health, that was a very odd occurrence for us in Colombia. I think our accommodation was cheaper in Colombia than here but we still stayed at some nice places, I have to say that our cooking facilities are definitely been better here. We have only eaten out here once so it is still to early to compare as we had some great meals in Colombia. I think the transportation system for both countries in pretty much on equal footing, there seems to be plenty of buses going between cities and the price seems comparable, perhaps slightly more money here but we will have a better idea on Sunday when we take the bus from Brasov to Sibiu. We totally enjoyed our trip to Colombia and so far this one is shaping up well too.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-17310401629712990012016-11-10T01:00:12.249-05:002016-11-10T01:00:12.249-05:00Didn't really look but I noticed a few prices ...Didn't really look but I noticed a few prices walking through the mall and they looked to be similar to ours.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-4666632594511096392016-11-10T00:59:10.129-05:002016-11-10T00:59:10.129-05:00Thank you Brigitte for following along with us. :-...Thank you Brigitte for following along with us. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-43185860511119592912016-11-10T00:41:21.612-05:002016-11-10T00:41:21.612-05:00Glad to hear that it all went well.
