Todays illustrated editions rarely offer detailed images or at least they are kind of stroke-less, if I could say. Nothing can compare with the old french illustrated editions. Don’t know if you have seen these during your childhood, @DeniGu . It’s amazing hearing that there still has people with affection in details and gives me hope. As a bookworm, it’s been hell looking at the plastic looking covers recently, if I may share.
Also, yes, Romania does have wonderful Escape Rooms indeed. The one me and the gang tried in Rasnov is called Mystical Chamber however, on Maps it’s Rasnov Room Escape. Titles on Maps amuse me. In order to keep the secret of that room and never let the vampire out of it, I would just say that Halloween never left that place. The creeping sounds are so much fun as well (or blood freezing, depends on the scare levels one could live). I have also tried the London Bridge Escape Rooms and a few more in Sofia (as you may have guessed already. During the London Bridge experience, it was a bit puzzling because of the multiple cultures we had to combine in order to literally get out of the place. However, it ended well
My favorite escape in Sofia is Illusionist’s Room from the Breakout Rooms series. You may see that it’s an upside down room at the Maps description and it’s true. Like, literally upside down. Even my senses were like ‘what the fudge has going on and why did I almost step on the chandelier?’. It’s a wonderful idea to write a post about some of these rooms indeed … unfortunately, photos are strictly forbidden and it will be quite hard on the display. Please, share your experience from Questomania as well. It’s on my list, now that you have mentioned
On the church matter, I absolutely adore the fortification concepts. Did you have guided tour during your stay? They rarely miss dropping the fact that every feudal village was fortified in Transylvania. You may have noticed the similarities in architecture as well. Are you a fan of these details too?
My inner adventurer did several back flips during the Biertan visit because of all the towers, view options, the stories around that place and attractive way of storytelling our guide for this complex had. The dungeon, which is basically a small jail building, has been used as an amendatory center where even couples demanding divorce were brought back together. They had to share same bed - single bed for two, same table, even same plates until they realize that they should be together. It sounds like forceful brainwashing technique but after 8 months in that small place under such conditions even I would get a Stockholm syndrome and get used to such life. Fun fact - one of the local school headmasters was forced to live there that way as well. In the end, they didn’t even want to leave and planned to buy the building. It was impossible at that time, so they ended up with a kick back to the village. You will most certainly expect future posit about this place indeed. Will be happy to share images and more stories from this place. It’s magnificent!
