How this place changed my life — 2 years ago
Although the Carpathian mountains are one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen the downtrodden, disillusioned, and disenfranchised Romanian people made my visit there too sad to deal with. I have family in Transyvania and seeing them live like that over there was heartbreaking. We encountered begging children at the train stations and I saw the saddest things I have ever seen in my life there. I truly hope that the people of Romania stand up to their government, as it seems like they have been doing since they stopped the communist party there… but it’s still not enough. It’s just too sad. I would never go back and, for the self-absorbed desire in me to see no evil, I wish I never would have gone at all.
