Later on in my career I was sent by Time Magazine to the region during the time after the fall of the Berlin Wall when all of these nations were gaining independence - travelling south from Trieste Italy and then north from Thessaloniki Greece through Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Yugoslavia (and all it diverse parts), then Czechoslovakia, back in to Poland where I met my friend again in Zakopane after traveling through the Tatra Mountains. Still there were not many western cars around.
