2 days in Satu Mare

1. a city in full renovation mode
2. almost ripe... rellies' vineyard
3. imagine the "dirt road and rail police" trying to catch this mobile user
4. Sorry Raul, we have no oranges today...
Nick's solution: lemon and sugar. Raul, our niece's son, is a happy kid.
5. ... some obscure place at night, view from the traffic lights.
Definitely the important office building is in "good" hands: security guards discussing the hot topics of the day...
