*Now with moar bigger, longer and uncutter.*

+ +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. + +TODO: DSC_0332 + +TODO: DSC_0498 + +Above: train residing in Timișoara Nord -- situated in the southwestern +corner of town. Below: Bega, also situated (among others) in the +southwestern corner. + +TODO: DSC_0447 + +TODO: DSC_0378 + +TODO: DSC_0261 + +The beautiful Timișorean parks and gardens house, in order: trees, + +TODO: DSC_0284 + +flowers + +TODO: DSC_0288 + +TODO: DSC_0336 + +TODO: DSC_0338 + +TODO: DSC_0346 + +TODO: DSC_0449 + +little cultural "houses of reading" + +TODO: DSC_0312 + +TODO: DSC_0314 + +and, of course, other assorted [cultural layers][btcbase-1911470]. + +TODO: DSC_0286 + +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?

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. + +[sinaia-tren]: /posts/y05/08d-sinaia.html#selection-282.0-282.3 +[btcbase-1911470]: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911470 +[allcomers]: http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=allcomers +[democracy]: http://trilema.com/2016/sensitivity-human-rights-democracy/ +[dictionar-banacean]: http://trilema.com/2019/diccionariul-banacean-de-lucruri-fapte-si-locuri-imdepartate-si-inportante/
