Title: RIPICENI
Music cue: Solitude
Vera:
So when did I get married? Nineteen twenty-nine, I think. At nineteen.
Bob said, ‘What would you think of Egypt?' I said, 'Egypt? I'd love it.' And I did!
On the way back we took a ship that went to the Black Sea port in Romania. Bob was asked would he mind taking over the running of the factory in Ripiceni. If you know where that is. We would have gone straight to Ripiceni but there was such a snowstorm that the train, everything was stopped. So we stayed in Bucharest for a few days. And the owner of the sugar factory in Ripiceni was living in great luxury with his wife and the wife said, 'You have plenty of time to get to Ripiceni, you will soon know it - enjoy it while you're not there.’
Nowhere was there such a poverty stricken village as Ripiceni was. Very remote. It's at the end of the world it seemed.
