Wild Carpathia
Today (Dec.01) is the National Day of Romania and I wanted you to see this.
The full movie is here.

Another link where the movie can be seen in full length.

Is essential to see, at the end of the movie (the complete one, which can be discarded with an add-on for Firefox, DownloadHelper), what Prince Charles have to say about.



"That is what Romania does".

Was that an attempt at levity on behalf of Prince C or typical English dry humor? Sooo glad I'm not a British subject!

Beautiful landscape by the way.

Hi Mac,

I believe that the final phrase was directed (acted), as a sensitive (diplomatic) final of the speech. Anyway, Prince Charles have properties there and different businesses and charitable actions, etc. Really don't know why, or what is the big catch, or if is sincere. The truth is, he came regularly (very often in the last period of time) in Romania to his properties. And he seems interested in helping in zone conservation - the documentary was made at his request (his involvement is at least, interesting). And what he says about natural food and the beneficial of the relationship between humanity and the nature is true.

So... will see in time what this means (the Romanian secret services and the President had a bad reaction when Charles stated that he is a descendant of Vlad Tepes(Dracul - Dracula)). In 2006 was a proposal to Charles to become the King of Romania but he rejected and anyway, that is not possible as Romania have already a Royal House. My source here.

Apart of that, there are real problems in the country. The landscape is indeed as in Tolkien tales but, not for long - of course, everything related to Europe and specially, to England which cut the entire forest in the past.
