    That miscommunication you had with the people about the bear/beer was funny. You were telling him about bear/urs and he understood beer/Ursus, with the latter being a brand of beer in Romania.

    Those ciuperci are amazing -- the best mushrooms I ever had were from the forests near Sighisoara and Brasov. Fry with sweet butter, sea salt, maybe a little black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Nothing better. :)

    MULTUMIM,
    Vreau sa iti multumesc pentru faptul ca ai venit sa vizitezi tara noastra.
    10 persoane am alergat sectiunea asta , tranversata de tine.
    Am facut parte din echipa lui TIBI USERIU care a alergat de la PUTNA la DROBETA TURNU SEVERIN 1330 KM . Eu am reusit sa alerg 345 km in 6 zile.
    Am suferit o accidentare si am fost nevoit sa abandonez.
    Avem multe locuri faine care merita vizitate.
    TE MAI ASTEPTAM.
    MULTUMESC

    Good job Tim Tense. For those who don't know, everything seems like a hike in the middle of a great wilderness. But I'm sure you enjoyed the beauty of the scenery and the warmth and friendliness of the people. I am a person from those places but from Transylvania in the mountains. There is the place of interference of three fabulous provinces of Romania: Bucovina, Maramureș and Transylvania.

    first of all I like your video
    dude, as a guy from Romania that is into hiking, beware of bears all the time not just after sunset. that sign is to discourage you to hike when no or little daylight. But anyway I think dogs are more dangerous than bears (I mean shepperd's dogs and not wild or domestic dogs that you would meet in any town)
    regarding the mushrooms yeah don't eat anything that you can't recognize as safe. If they say a snail can eat a mushroom that is safe then just find a snail and put it on the mushroom and see what happens

He tried to tell you that the big /completely opened mushroom are too old and than a lower quality what it's available even for the shops bought champions.

      And they are called Karl Johan / Porcini (in Italian). When going into the forest, any forager looks specifically for this type of mushroom because they taste amazing and you can trade them. The big ones don't have much value, they are the 3rd category with green sponges. They will fall into the 2nd category if they have a yellow sponge. They will be in 1st category if they are white and hard underneath.
      I have family in Vatra Dornei, every kid is taught how to go into the woods and find these mushrooms. I absolutely love this about my country. Hope the tradition will stay alive.
      About the littering, we are sorry you had to experience this. We have a long go to educate everyone, people don't have a sense of respect for our country. They cut the forest, and give the wood for nothing. There is all kinds of corruption, not only the littering. Thank you for supporting this project, it's not only good for the communities, but it educates children on the matter. Lots of young volunteers are involved in keeping Via Transilvanica clean.

    At present, all of the approximately 1,400 km of Via Transilvanica is laid out, but not all kilometres have received funding. The Tășuleasa Social organization has used funds from the sales of Tibi Ușeriu's book, a national bestseller, to complete the road. When we get close to kilometre zero, which would mean integral funding for the Via Transilvanica long-distance trail, we'll put the final milestones up for auction.

    About "overcharging", it's an older thought, especially of the people who never worked /lived in the west Europe, that the foreigners are having a lot of money and for them it doesn't matter, something that was really happened in the '90 when the difference between the west Europeans money and romania was huge. Because of the EU new requirements, the leveling of the gas energy and all most products prices if they never worked in the west Europe they are still living in that past.

      I know, I'm also working with clients as plumer and many other jobs and some times this jobs are tricky and even if I said a price for the job and I have to work double, if the client don't make the difference, I don't say nothing (to overcharge) but I'm finishing the job to the same quality level. It's not them case knowing exactly what they sale and what is the general level of the prices. Hopefully the competition will solve the problem.
