+Moving (that is, our fine asses) from the Ottoman slash Phanariot
+outskirts of the heart of Bükreş to the Österreichien outskirts of
+Темишвар took only a tad over ten hours, via post-modern[^1] CFR. Below,
+the reader can admire a view of the town as seen when arriving from all
+directions towards the centre -- or the other way around, whichever you
+prefer.

+In case you're curious, the photo above was taken in the Botanical Park,
+which, judging by the booth at the entrance, once had an entrance
+fee. Nowadays entrance is open to [allcomers][allcomers], a set
+including, by the way, assorted orcs who are quite ready to turn
+everything they touch into shit, piss, vomit and so on. I hope you're
+happy with your beautiful [democracy][democracy] and all the benefits it
+gives you.
+
+Wait, you thought we're done? Actually, we've just begun -- I did say
+this was going to be long, didn't I? Below: a few shots from the
+Timișoara town centre.

+[^1]: "Post-modern" here means the following: modernity being over, then
+    so are its means and fundamental characteristics, and thusly so are
+    sane means of transportation. Trains are a thing of the '30s and the
+    '70s and really, who the fuck needs railways in 2020. As a
+    consequence, they now go at the average speed of 55m/h, almost as
+    fast as that [iuțeală maximă][sinaia-tren], sometimes going as low
+    as 30. Granted, this at least gave us a good view of the Danube over
+    at the Iron Gates and... the beauty of Oltenia, I suppose. Too bad
+    that we chose our departing trip at night.
+
+    By now, I'm fairly sure that Timișoara is better connected (both
+    road-wise and railway-wise) to the West than it is to the capital,
+    which makes me wonder what the fuck is it doing as part of Romania
+    in the first place. Anyway, I shall put this here for posterity: if
+    you ever hear me saying I'm travelling to Western Romania (or in any
+    big town in Romania, as far as Romanian towns go) other than by
+    plane, give me a good slapping.
