high time ro report about our exciting trip to timisoara, romania, where we for the first time met the epoint team, daniel banica's squad of professionals we chose to do the programming with. the first contact was made via xing, and after some intense benchmarking with other drupal developers (in canada, singapore, st. petersburg... thanks prodosh!) we unanimously decided that epoint was the partner to go with: professional, sympathetic, reasonably priced and geographically and culturally close to Switzerland.
after a day and a night in beautiful and vibrant belgrad we had the luck that two local friends drove us over to timisoara; without a local guide we would have probably lost our way so badly that we would still be trying to get to timisoara today. almost no road signs and a lot of nasty junctions. luckily there were enough locals hanging out on the village squares, guiding us from village to village... and finally and thanks to our sportive driver we made it to our meeting with one hour delay only (already bad enough for swiss people).
back in belgrad we spent two more days and nights with our friends. it was a lovely experience getting to know all these warm and hospitable people and not less important: being able to participate in the yearly distillation of the local schnapps using the affectionately named "happy machines". it seemed to me that no fruits were spared... might be one of the secret propellants behind the recovery of the eastern european economies!
