Yep, dogs in Romania can be quite aggressive. But dogs aren't children right?
I must have driven something like 45.000 km's trough Africa. On those 45.000 km's it occured 1 time that a child trew a lump of earth and hit the car.
It occured one time that a kid had the intention to throw a stone, and when he saw that I saw him he wend really small and quickly dissapeared out of the picture.
Stopping to ask for the road, and going slowly and waving and smiling and having contact and let that kid ride on the back of your truck all work pretty well if you ask me. And passing a village this way, you'll feel happy and relaxed because of all the smiles and friendly people you've seen. I don't really know how all you guy's ride trough the villages, but reading above it seems like every village is a hostile environment where you have to ditch stones and chase kids and better ride trough as fast as possible. Must be rather stressfull.
Makes me think of hiking in Romania and having to deal with an aggressive crowd of dogs the sixt time that day. Really wasn't fun!
