We spent most of the day, yesterday, walking around Iasi.
We decided to walk to a local park. Was the park far away? Sure was! We walked for 45 minutes, only made one detour, and finally arrived at the park full of trees. The first step we took in the park a guy was trying to sell us flowers. When we said no and acted like we didn't know what he was talking about, he asked us if we spoke English. We said yes...which was a mistake. Jillian (creepy guy) ended up following us and trying to make "deals" with us. Basically he knew we were Americans and wanted our money. He thought Nicole was Rihana and Aimee was a church girl. He ended up giving a flower to Rihana and for the last and final lilac he pointed at the girls saying "not you....not you....not you" and then came back to me and was like "for the most beautiful girl"! I was flattered but it definitely made me feel uncomfortable.
So after awhile of chatting we needed to get rid of this guy. In my head I just kept thinking of the movie Taken and this guy trying to take us or calling over his friends to steal us or something. Scary! We did ask him if he could act like Johnny Deppe for us and that was interesting.... especially him acting like he was going to strangle Rylie. Eventually we told him we just wanted to walk around the park alone. Thank goodness he left us alone.
I probably didn't tell that story good but so funny! Rylie caught some of it on tape so watch for it on her blog.
Oh and apparently people aren't allowed to take pictures in Kaufland (grocery store). Romanians don't have the same cheese as the States and so we were going to take a picture with the funky cheese. Then this undercover cop for Kaufland comes over and whips out his badge, rambling off Romanian super fast. Obviously we are foreign if we are taking pictures with the cheese so I don't know why he thought we were going to understand him! So he just hovered over Kelsey until she deleted it from her camera.
That was our first time grocery shopping without Aislynn at Kaufland. So proud of us!
