A tale of transport in interbellum Romania
I am, as you know, openly Romanian. I claim to have been from these here parts since time immemorial. My maternal haplogroup H5 dated to this region since the times of the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture. My paternal haplogroup being I-M253 is a bit sketchier. But it is...
Three (give or take) cities in England
