Iaşi, ROMANIA

The town of Iaşi (pronounced as "Yash") is in the far north east of Romania, in the region of Moldovia (not the Republic of Moldova...which comes next after crossing the border tomorrow). It was the capital of Moldovia from the 16th century until 1861 and of Romania (Kingdom of Romania) between 1916-1918 during WW1.

Couple of interesting spots...but mostly a working city, and packed with university students, lively bars and restaurants and lots of beautiful Romanian people. Tomorrow I am crossing the border into Moldova.
