Now, I've been to Transylvania, and it was pretty nice (see top). But then again, it's been several thousand years since Sauron was ruining the neighbourhood, so they've had some time to get over it. Except for that little Dracula thing. And Ceaucescu. Okay, maybe they haven't completely gotten over it. But close.
