    Much better now? Yes, of course.

    But getting here was tough, especially the first few transition years. They were bad enough to crush people’s high hopes about freedom.

    Corruption however is still rampant, the education and healthcare systems are in decline and I doubt I’ll ever get to see any of the money the government is taking out of my salary for when I retire…

      Of course. But that’s not uniquely Romanian or some rememenace of the communist times. That’s capitalism. Look at the US and England. They have the same problems.
