language is a nuisance ;-) ... you might have spotted from my LJ, that my fascination is with Eastern Europe and Russia. As well as the "usual" places I'd love to visit many off-the-beaten-track parts of Russia and to see Sofia (capital of Bulgaria)... I also want to go to Shanghai to go on their super-fast Maglev train (goes to/from the airport at about 270mph!) and to Tokyo to go on the bullet train... but going by myself and not speaking a little bit of the language makes me think twice... It always seems easier to muddle through if there's a couple of you!
... I'm ok with Romania because I speak a little bit... so I'm goign to go for a week into the more remote parts - into the mountains in search of wolves and bears (hmmm, "nice doggy")... I'm going to book a tour with an English speaking guide, but I am going to take the option of staying with a local family(ies) rather than a hotel - that way I can speak Romanian all night and hopefully see proper home cooking! :-)
I hope you make it to Mauritius! I keep trying to convince my parents to be more adventurous travellers! \What language do they speak there?
