And the winner is….
Târgu Neam? (which translates as German Market Town) is where we’ll be living in Romania. It’s in the region of Moldavia (not to be confused with the Republic of Moldova) and while it is the poorest area of the entire European Union, it’s full of rich history, beautiful mountains, good sweet wine, and lots of neat monasteries.
A few links for everyone’s edification (please note, some don’t have the cheeriest things to say, but we’re completely happy):
