The first thing I saw when disembarking from the plane in Budapest for our flight transfer to Bucharest was a big CitiBank sign on the side of a building. The airport has one place to eat and it is a Sbarro. All the phones are T-Moble.
I have a feeling that Eastern Europe will be a vastly different experience than when I was last in this part of the world in ’99. Not to generalize across different countries and cultures, but it is a bit shocking.
