Brasov, Romania ...the city, Mihal, two "Gypsy" girls, Miriam, the revolution, its politics and more...

Brasov, Romania is an ancient city of 250,000 people. It was formerly Kronstadt during its Hungarian era and is within Transylvania, about 100 miles from Bucharest and 230 from the Black Sea.

It is somewhat like an eastern version of Bath Spa and has a thriving tourism sector.

Many of the Romanians living in Jersey are from Brasov or nearby.

Some of my videos were lost due to a faulty memory card...
