most of their younger gen have become US citizens in the past 10 yrs or so but the older folks still feel like they live under communism. They feel like the prgoression from that era is not progressing at all. it is a very depressed/repressed country with so many unhappy people.

V--why not check out Tallinn Estonia?

I also went to Warsaw a few years back and it was so much like what I found in Romania, years later...

We thought about getting the ferry to Tallinn when we were in Helsinki. I would like to visit Tallinn and Riga sometime.
I think the next trip will be BUD in a couple of weeks.
BTW--Great find on the Athens apartment!

thanks--do you need any referrals for BUD? we go there often!

We are getting a hotel through the accor discount but what should we see in BUD?

How about food? What is the specialty we should try?
