    One of the things I hear people say over and over again in Bucharest is “wow… can this elevator be safe?” Well, you never really think too much about taking the stairs until the day you get STUCK in the elevator… for real.

    It happened to us today. It also sounds like the punch line of a joke….”how many morons does it take to stop a lift?” well in this case apparently 5. Three Americans, one Brit, and a Romanian.

    Our blatant disregard for the capacity of 3 people cost us all a half hour of our lives today. The elevator made its way down to the ground level, at which point absolutely nothing happened. The LED readout read zero with a line through it. Never seen that before.

    The guard heard us press the bell, walked up to the elevator doors and acknowledged that we were indeed stuck in the lift. The only way out was with a key from the outside, as there was no release on the inside. Ofcourse. So we asked him to call the elevator company to let us out. He had no minutes on his phone. We get no reception on our phones inside the lift.

    So…. after instructing the security guard to walk next door to the coffee shop, ask an employee to use the phone to call the service company to come out and let us out of the elevator at their earliest convenience, and one group iphone movie later…the doors opened. We now take the stairs. Enjoy the elevators everyone!

    As you surf the internet with Bucuresti, Bucharest, or Romania as a keyword you can spend days on end clicking through the various sites. At first it was Dracula then It was Borat that put Romania “on the Map”. Enjoy this well done video of a Cosmote commercial in Romania…

    • ]]>     It was literally two days prior to this media announcement that I made a joke to my friends stating that we should “embrace” the desire for “fanciness” of locals and create faux Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabanna, and Armani print Swine Flu masks. I was dead serious. They would sell. But nobody listened …

    Fast forward to today (actually yesterday) and we see the announcement of Swarovski Crystal lined swine flue masks! Well.. I was close!!!!

    Now Romanians can breathe better air than their lowly peasant colleagues (we won’t tell them the big secret… that these aren’t actually “Nano Masks” so they’ll just be contracting swine flu in a more fashionable method).

    The best part? These masks are “created” by a Romanian Fashion designer Catalin Botezatu, well known for his “Penis Pants”; a line of boxers/underwear and club-wear that come ready-made with a stuffed and enlarged penis area. Great for the guy who never actually takes his pants off…..

    Swarovski Swine Flu Masks

    Here we have a picture of Oana Zavoranu, a Romanian talk show host and shock jock, sporting her very own crystal mask. How cute. Try not to stare whilst being “cut off” in traffic by this ultra fancy display of mini-wealth!   lol…
