Just got back from Romania with work. The hotel foyer had the usual shops you get in these big flash hotels (work boooked it - I'd not have dared it was THAT nice). One of the boutiques there was...A MINI SHOWROOM!
I mean, Romania is not exactly a rich country (average monthly wage is 200 Euro) and yet there was a MINI dealer, complete with EB/W S and an Orange Cooper cabrio.
All in all it was a touch sureal. (Not quite as wierd as all that - the hotel was hosting a NATO type meeting for the future of Iraq - place was FULL of European generals and Iraqi generals - with guns. Scary.)
