Sadly, we have a huge issue with stray dogs 
. They can get quite dangerous, especially in the nights or when there’s too much heat outside, even in large cities. Best is to avoid side streets or neighbourhoods at the outskirts during night. If you plan a bike trip in villages close to a large city, try not to get back too late in the evening.
You can use your card pretty much anywhere in large cities or even some small towns, but you’ll probably need some cash when entering small shops, artisan shops, some bus tickets (only for some routes), etc.
Getting around public transport can be easy with mobile phone apps. This will depend on the city, but for most large ones, you can use the 24pay app, works with international banks and mobile phone numbers as well.
24pay
for travelling by bus, you can get your ticket online at: Autogari.RO 
mind that you’ll most likely need to still print your ticket (we’re not yet at the qr-scan stage, even if the tickets have a qr code 
)
for travelling by train, you can either get your tickets from vending machines in the train station (multiple languages available, otherwise, even in large cities, it’s hard to navigate without knowing Romanian…) or through this app: CFR Călători online tickets. No need to print tickets in this case, but you’ll need internet connection while using it.
Language side might be a bit difficult if you plan on being away from big cities, some translation app might come in handy 
. Young people in cities are likely to speak English and in some cities (Timișoara, Cluj-Napoca, Sibiu, Brașov) you can get by with German as well, probably, as there are some German communities around.

While scrolling through the visitor’s report of my blog, I noticed visitors from a “strange” ISP: “Magistrat der Stadt Wien, Magistratsabteilung 01”, which is the IT department of the magistrate of the City of Vienna. Digging further through the logs, I found out they are a regular visitor, and so are multiple ministries, the Austrian unemployment service, and multiple other public bodies (Maybe more, but due to IP anonymization I only know about the ones that have their own subnets). So I’ve decided to give them a special greeting when visiting. I wanted it to look like this:
Preparation
Find the relevant IP ranges
There are multiple ways to do this. Since I already knew before that the City of Vienna has their own ASN, I went over to Hurricane Electric’s BGP Toolkit (after I had to look up their ASN again) to see what IP ranges they announce. For this example, at the moment those are as follows:
