Holiday from hell in Romania: Cashless and living in four-day-old clothes

Suceava, Romania, where our columnist is cashless, almost homeless, and roaming the streets in sweaty clothes. — CEZAR SUCEVEANU/Wikimedia Commons

Currently, I’m homeless in Suceava.

I’m on a family trip to Romania, where my wife is from a little village out here, and within minutes of arriving at the farmhouse, our little boy was trembling from the cold. Which is when we realised we had underestimated the effect of him growing up in South-East Asia where 26°C is considered frosty. Here it’s 13°C, and it definitely had an effect on him.
