Hi dimitri,
I am from Iasi, Romania, this is a 350.000 people city in NE, near the Moldavian border.
First I have to say that in Romania the roads are not so good. Always take care, you might get surprises even on the roads you might think are in a good state.
The drivers are not so polite like in Germany.
The people are generaly friendly, you will get help for sure. English is well known in cities, hungarian and deutch in some areas (north, center, west), and italian and spanish as a result of many people working in that countries.
Campings are not expensive, but the conditions are a not so good. Anyway, a biker should be prepared for wildness, so this should not be a big problem.
You have to take care of your bike especialy in big cities.
If you camp in wildness, in a forest are in some free place, do not leave your things unguarded.
I recomand you all the mountain areas. Ask me for any details if you plan a certain route.
Good luck, if you pass around Iasi, buzz me!
