Today in Romania: Careful With that Toothbrush

If everything that we hear happens in Romania really is true, it must surely be the most exciting country on the planet. We've already told you about mayors who promote open-air sex, nude models who demand better pages in the newspaper and farmers who feed their cows dope. With all this action, who wouldn't want to hop a plane to Bucharest right this minute?

But wait, there's more. This week alone, news reports told us about a Romanian girl in the town of Falticeni who swallowed a toothbrush while imitating what the reporter explained as "extreme moves" from an adult movie; another mentioned an 80-year-old hospital patient in Botosani who had to use his mobile phone to call the emergency service line from his hospital bed to get attention from doctors. Where does all this Romanian news come from, and why don't these crazy things happen in neighboring Bulgaria or even in our own backyards? Clearly because Romania is the most totally hip place to travel that we haven't quite discovered yet. Get going.
