Update to Q6: Another surprising thing about Romania

I wrote earlier about a few things in Romania and Iasi that have surprised me. I'll continue to update this blog with more surprising, beginning with this consistently mood-lifting feature of Iasi (and many other cities in Romania):



And this is only the second-raddest type of pedestrian signal -- there are a few in town that also show the time left until you can cross again, which lets you think about something besides that question while you're at the crosswalk.

Public works projects are pretty solid in Iasi -- more of these signals are being installed, the parks are well-maintained, there are several trash-bins (neat little swiveling ones that the collectors can just swing upside-down to empty) per block, and whole sections of the city seem to be getting new overhead electric wires.
