RE: Advent in Brașov
Mom was born there, when it was occupied by Soviets, and the city was called Stalin. She lived not far away from the Black Church, in the main square.
Now, lately, I travel only for business there, as they have some big German companies in automotive and aerospace.
Nice report, BTW.

Thanks for stopping by :) I mentioned the previous name in my other post, did you know about the tree sign that read Stalin back then?

I missed that post, but yes, I knew about it. My moms birth certificate is with Stalin inside. If you manage to get to Sibiu (Hermannstadt), which has also a gorgeous old town, you might hear about de Sibiu Salami. During the sad times, the city was renamed to Lenin, and people were making fun about it, like Lenin Salami which in Romania might be Salami from Lenin. I see you are from the Czech Republic, where I often travel, and Romania has a vibrant Czech community, in the South-West, where there is even an annual Czech Beer Festival. Even if Romania has more Slovaks, then Czech.
