Romanian villages show great contrasts. Comfortable looking homes with BMWs or Volkswagens in the drive sit side by side with crumbling cottages with chickens and cows sharing the front courtyard. Horse and carts share the roads with cars and trucks, even on motorways. The villagers are mainly older people dressed in traditional garb, as the younger populace flee from a life of subsistence farming. It’s almost as if a phone call has gone around saying ‘quick, the tourists are coming, get the peasant gear out!’
Roadside onion selling seems to be a popular occupation too.
