Riding in Romania!
Inspired by a Top Gear episode, two friends of mine invited me for a bikes tour in of Romania. At first I was pretty sceptical and started thinking all kinds of problems that we could have meet in the countryside of Bucharest. One of my concerns was that someone could kidnap us, asking to from the Italian government a ransom for our freedom - but the biggest concern was Italy wouldn't payed it due to the financial crisis affected Italy affecting the country, its huge public debit (debt? deficit?) and the last but not less least the important the fact that we are not resident in Italy any more. The problem was clear to me - if we were been kidnapped, who would pay for our freedom? An alternative would has been be to ask to the rich Swiss government, thinking they don't have a balance sheet problems like Italy. After a while thinking on same considering the issue, I realised that also this alternative wasn't good either, since it would has been be impossible to get the money from a such such a stingy government, leaving kill us to die rather to than pay one cents of a franc. An further alternative would have been be to ask my girlfriend to pay it, but she couldn't effort afford the such a high amount that would have been sure high. In addition, she would have to ask me for a good reason for my freedom and I would have been be her prisoner for the rest of my life.
last but not less = last but not least (good phrase!)
Nice story :-)
So, did you risk it and go?
And do you think you could justify to your girlfriend why she should pay the ransom? :-)
