@SealLion:
After having a look on the Vimeo site for the last day and half, I think I finally came up with something good for showing something fun to do while in Romania.
for txt/images-only a quick search gives:
Romania’s diverse natural landscapes offer numerous choices for exciting outdoor experiences. Travelers can walk through serene alpine meadows covered with scores of wildflowers, trek around glacial lakes, take in the lush-green scenery while horse riding or mountain biking, climb curious rock formations, photograph fossil traces of 15,000-year old cave-bear species, track gold eagles or other rare birds, study endangered flora, wander in the countryside, picnic in the fields, try your hand at traditional crafts, - or just relax in the home of a village family and sample wholesome, country fare with home made wine and plum brandy.

All I can say is that hitch hiking is a great way to deal with rejection.
a serial killer would surely embrace any rejected lamb (at least for a while)
other than that, its not advisable if you're a lone hitchhiker (especially female)
What I liked about this video is the showing of rural Romania.
afaik parts of 'borat' were filmed in rural romania :o
a few of the residents sitting and enjoying the heat of the day
they were most likely just posing for the occasion, afaik elderly people in rural areas rarely use these front benches, even less as a couple
horses frolicking on the prairie
to my knowledge, the term 'grassland' is used for these parts of europe
@Mihai:
Funny thing about it is that the Minister of Tourism here would have to work 10 years and they wouldn't be able to make a video like that... Also they would have to work decades and would'n be able to promote Romania like these guys did.
well, sounds like political generalizations, btw. the link above is sponsored by the .ro government or so it claims
regarding (official) videos of tourist attractions/destinations, i'm pretty sure these get made/spread all the time, especially since sites like youtube or vimeo arrived or got more popular, though governments are usually much slower at accepting new ways of (online) promotion, not to mention how even their 'old ways' often leave much to be desired
Oh, and also, the video is not even MADE by Romanians...
looks like it was made by a polish team (@SealLion: language used, credits), their next stop (hitchiking destination) being in slovakia
