They usually pay for their online service between the 15th thru the 18th of each month. The provider, Romania Express, told them that this would be fine. 3 or 4 times, leaving word with their landlady that they needed to pay their internet bill. The young man staying at the house got the same phone call and explained that they were out of town. Not only that, but they somehow got the phone number of some of their friends and left messages with them also, as well as sending her email about their internet bill.

Family coming home from day in the fields. Typical mode of Romanian transportation. If one is lucky enough to have cable TV, you have to pay the bill in the same manner as the phone, electricity and internet. TV here is also a mixed bag. In the day, you can find a couple of soap operas from the States that are nearly 10 years behind.
