Yes, I know that I promised something different this week, but when downloading all my photos from the latest trip this week, it became clear that something had to be said about the Romanian elections that took place whilst I was there.

Aha, at last! The Skol Party! Skimpy nurses’ uniforms and free beer. My vote is cast!

What? That’s not an election poster?

Damn!

Oh dear, oh dear, what am I to do? I need someone who can get the job done, a man off the people, someone down-to-earth…

I need…
