Later in Brasov up on the hills we saw a sign that read 'Brasov' (just like the Hollywood sign). We walked on a pedestrian street which was filled with restaurants and the buildings were very old. We walked to the Black Church, which is catholic and got its name from the fire that took place a long time ago where the whole city was burned and the church's walls turned black. The church itself was built by merchants. Inside the church, the merchants used to sit according to their guilds.

Later, we drove up the hill to see the great view of old Brasov and new Brasov. And right now we are in a four star hotel called 'Villa Aron' which is NOT infected by bugs, and is very clean.
