When you hear the word "Romania" very bas stereotypes come to mind. But in fact it's a very beautiful country! This city has amazing atmosphere as far as I can see on your photos

Poverty, gypsies, commieblocks...

Romania looks very authentic, I hope I'll visit it some day.

Timisoara town, Romania is really a very nice, beautiful city; most of those buildings there are looking really good

That is basically how every other EE country is viewed,more or less.However we,who come from this part of the world,should know better,although there is a degree of each of those factors here,but those certainly aren't a dominant aspect of this country,but just a part of a conglomerate.

Well, not really. In Poland we consider like that only Romania. I also used to live in the UK and my english friends also consider Romania like that. But as I said, Romania is a very interesting country. I once saw a documentary on Romania on BBC and I started to read more about this country. It's very diverse and beautiful and your cities like Brasov or Sighişoara are very authentic and I would say somehow magic. I've never been to Roamnia, but I would love to

Well, prejudices are very strong, but you should educate yourself..
Romania is a great country with very diverse and beautiful cities.

Most probably another route,joining to get to the same place.

I don't know what it was originally for(but 2 routes intersecting doesn't make any sense, cause there would be no way the tram could turn, and i don't think any of the buildings there are recent. I can assume that they moved the rail a few more meters towards the center of the street.), but now it's just a few meters long and is sometimes used to present some of the older restored tram models. The last one parked there was one pulled by horses.

Glad you generally liked our city. Timisoara's main thread is here, if you want to check it out sometimes.
