"[The foreign officials] won't know it's just a mask; they won't see beyond the shiny path that's been laid down for them." -> I don't think they care what's beyond the shiny path. As long as they got back home safe enough to say "Those crazy Romanians, they gave me teh palica and I got so wasted I actually... signed that...oh.", as long as they visit that huge "i-don't-know-what-they-call-it-but- it-was-huge" building, they don't care. <BR/><BR/>What troubles me is the thought that the "mask" would replace what little face we have left. Bucharest has been wearing too many masks for foreigners.<BR/><BR/>And you know what they say about staring too long into the abyss...Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421908495488708433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5165049168483868924.post-41375009398260697842008-04-03T09:53:00.000+02:002008-04-03T09:53:00.000+02:00Hey, better get started on that project... the res...Hey, better get started on that project... the results may be really fun!Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744076097417362767noreply@blogger.com
