Той достойно се нарежда сред най-добрите коледни базари в Европа наред с тези в Дрезден, Колмар, Страсбург и Виена.

Some of them still produce rock salt, while others have…

To the first part and so... The situation was as follows: we were already with minus 56 dollars unpredictable expenses, we were at the airport outside the city and we had a booked and paid hotel in Brasov, 190 kilometers from Bucharest.
