I mentioned in an earlier blog the differences between the communist and post-communist Romanians. One of the other noticeable features (especially in the countryside) is the juxtaposition of technologies. Everywhere there are horses pulling carts, while modern cars, including BMWs and Audis - can also be seen. In locations where many of the houses are small and plumbing is primitive, the wireless modem and mobile phone still have a place. In churches with wood burners there are often quite small but adequate sound systems.
A classic example of this I spotted today as a speaker and mixer desk were borrowed from the church. Look for the washing machine in the video. The horse is in housed in the small stable to the left.
