Dracula learns Hebrew
May. 25th, 2016 11:35 pmI had to drive through Bran in Transylvania yesterday (this is where the "Dracula Castle" is) and this time I noticed that all of the trade there is done in three languages, Romanian (obviously), English (understandable) and surprisingly, Hebrew. One also can hear Hebrew spoken everywhere in the shops and the restaurants too. Israelis seem to love this place.

I don't know what is the Transylvanians' take on Strigoi these days. I think I will ask a couple of them tomorrow.
