life is short - From: Purpose of life? travel? stay? build? play?
LIFE IS SHORT....viata e chiar f scurta si mai ales imprevizibila, de aceea trebuie sa ne o facem cat mai frumoasa.... nu am decat 26 de ani si nu sunt vreun fiozof vestit care isi prezinta aici ideile si mai ales si le impune, insa, o experienta de viata, m-a marcat enorm si m-a facut sa intelg multe lucruri. Acum 3 ani de zile, am fost f aproape de moarte.Deoarece am petrecut mult timp in pat, in spital si acasa, AMITIRILE din toate locurile minunate, unde am calatorit....m-au ajutat enorm. Dupa cum zicea si Ramona in comentrariul ei, lucrurile materiale nu au nici o valoare.....Asadar, toate lucurile frumoase pe care le aduna omul.....sunt amintirile. In momentele acelea de groaza, am simtit ceea ce este mai important pe lumea asta...insa, in acelasi timp, am regretat ca nu am fam. mea... Binenteles, parintii, fratii, pretenii, mi-au fost aproape, insa simteam ca lipseste ceva. Asadar nu uita, Dumnezeu e minunat, toate lucrurile nemateriale primeaza in fata lucrurile materiale si fa doar ce simti!!!

Hey :) - From: Dreaming about Romania
Hey Milda, The emigration is more or less stable now, and bringing back the people in the country will only create social problems, unemployment rate will go up...and you know what that creates further on...Basically I know a lot of smart Romanians that went back with the mindset of changing things...and left after 6 months or 1 year..... Yes Romania needs a change in mindset...but this will happen in years...and probably it will come with the Romanians returning from abroad...but not now...

hey guys, I read this post accidently and just want to say, that as long as there wont be change in peoples minds, many promo-materials, videos on CNN and so on can be created, still the bad word on the reality will keep on spreading. I personaly also had and still have a quite bad oppinion and tons of bad jokes about countries such as Romania and for now am not eagger to get there, but knowing one Romanian person :P made me at least think about the country in some other perspectives at times. So I think, that the few things you need is time for the evolution of your economy and mentality + lowering emigration of people, who could actualy spread the good word instead of Molotovs... :) Conclusion is: Dan, you gotta stay in Romania :))) Jonce, kaip tu laikais??:)

Hey man, nice to see you are still reading my posts. I am really sorry for the bad experience that your family had in Romania, to be honest this is the first time i am hearing about the molotov shit, coruption in police is common...just as in some other countries. Popular places are well organized but yea, as soon as you go "safari" things change...at least in some areas. I hope i'll have the chance to change your image about Romania...so vacation next year with me? i promisse Molotov's will be only under the sahpe of drinks. how are you dude? come visit me in Tartu..

:) - From: Dreaming about Romania
Dream like from a film of Hollywood :) Well this time I have to agree with you. Foreigners do see Romania quite the same as you described. Previously, I thougt that this is just the result of media drawing, but my family has just come back from visiting Romania. They told a fact which now makes me think the same way about Romania as many Europeans. My family noticed that places which are most visited by tourists are quite nice and well kept as well as Romanians looks clever and trustfull. But just try to drive somewhere more away from those popular places and everything changes: streets are dirty, empty factories which looks like ghosts, roads somewhere with no signs, and so on. Even worse situation with local inhabitants - every move you make you have to be counting strict as a computer. Father told me that there were not at least one patrol station where the guy from it wouldn't try to trick you about your bill. The top which my family told me was when they stayed in a camp near Karpati. Not enough that conditions were insanitary there, locals in the evening threw a molotov coctail to the tent of my family. Family was forced to leave soon, because after that they just heard locals laughing from passing car and understood nothing good is waiting for them. Bit too scary.. Of course, don't think that Romania in my mind looks like the worst country in Europe. It is far from that, and apart everything I would personally would like to see it one day. Just some previously noticed well that you have to come back and help to change it. I don't say now but don't wait to long till you won't have enough energy and enthousiasm to do that :) As my father says: "there is much of vodka, but the mother land - just one" ;)

turn in romania - From: Dreaming about Romania
This is the Romania in your dream?perhaps..but i can say that all bad things it is happened..yes..humans quilty... They walk and was all over the world to search "life's good" and do some things bad who put romanians people in difficult moments that have to make face it of all strangers that speak bad about romanians (at plural). All remains is hope to see this country beautiful with good peoples...but 50% put the question mark in hope. Is people that can change something in this country but is few and is affraid to woke up and say that "today i change something in my behavour and i help other's!".

- From: Tartu Estonia...The beginning of a new story
It is actually the first time I hear from someone's experience that cars actually stop in Estonia. It used to be a lot worse. But since we saw the order in Finland, we have done a great job and the traffic is much better now. And we are not the slowest in Europe, this is sort of an urban legend. The Finns are THE slowest :) and we are sort of related to Finns...Latvians and Lithuanians are the ones calling us slow :D. We do tend to be very (very very) calm most of the time and with a cold personality. Still, I hope you will enjoy Tartu, I hope I will when I become one of those students in the university this autumn:)

Follow your heart! - From: Purpose of life? travel? stay? build? play?
Hey, I don't don't know you but I think I understand your dilemma. I don't really agree with the last post. Traveling with a baby and 3 wives will not be easy. Once you set up your roots in one place and have a wife and family it won't be as easy to leave everything and travel months on end. There will be responsibilities as well as compromises that would have to be made. All I can say is that if I was in your shoes, I would keep travelling a bit more. But of course, only you know what is best for you. You have to find that balance that satisfies both your mind and your heart. Ask yourself this: one day when you will lie on your death bed, what will you be most glad for, that you trvelled and explored, or that you set up your life in one place? When all material things are taken away from you, you will only have your experiences. Good luck and I hope you make the right decision for yourself! :)

Eu zic sa... - From: Purpose of life? travel? stay? build? play?
eu zic sa faci ce simti ACUM. adica traieste prezentul. daca ACUM simti ca vrei sa stai...stai...daca simti ca ai vrea o masina noua, ia o masina noua si basta...daca maine o sa simti ca vrei sa pleci, pleaca...vei gasi ceva de facut cu ce ai aici. stiu, egreu sa te apuci sa strangi chestii ca apoi daca vrei sa pleci te gandesti de acum ce vei face cu ele...nu te mai gandi atat. fa ce simti si traieste in prezent. si as mai zice un lucru...poti sa pleci ORICAND. daca incepi sa iti construiesti o viata aici dar vrei sa pleci crezi ca nu o sa poti pleca? o sa poti pleca si cu copil sugar si cu 3 neveste, daca o sa simti ca vrei sa pleci, o sa pleci. la fel si cu statul. un singur sfat am: nu fa credite! daca faci datorii nu o sa mai poti fi liber sa alegi sa faci ce simti...si o sa fie...trist.

hey there stranger! :) - From: Purpose of life? travel? stay? build? play?
Hey, am citit ce ai scris si comentariile si stiu ca nu e o intrebare usoara si raspunsul cu siguranta nu e unul singur... si depinde atat de mult de istoria noastra personala, de tot ce am trait si simtit!... In loc sa dau sfaturi cred ca cel mai usor e sa ma dau pe mine insami ca exemplu. Am fost plecata 4 ani de zile, Turcia, Columbia, Anglia. Cred ca idea sa ma intorc acasa m-a ingrozit intotdeauna pt ca mereu m-am gandit ca acasa nu ma asteapta nimic si nu e nici o perspectiva... acum o luna insa in the spur of a mad moment, nici nu imi aduc aminte bine de ce si ce mi-a mers asa rau in ziua respectiva, pur si simplu m-am dus la calculator si mi-am rezervat un bilet one-way acasa. Si, da, sunt dispusa sa dau Romaniei o sansa si sa incerc ceva acasa... nu stiu ce o sa fie, cum o sa fie, usor nu e nicaieri in lume la momentul actual, dar sunt dispusa sa incerc acasa. Si nu e o dovada de patriotism , de iubire de tara, nimic de genul asta, e vorba ca vreau pur si simplu sa prind radacini undeva, sa simt ca fac ceva, achieve ceva... Mi-am implinit visul de a calatori, de a vedea lumea, mi-am facut prieteni in toata colturile lumii, am vazut in 4 ani lucruri pe care parintii mei nu le-au vazut intr-o viata de om, acum simt nevoia sa realizez ceva...altceva, de alta natura.Ceva mai substantial, intr-un fel.. cred ca e o etapa fireasca in viata oricarui om, pur si simplu e o noua etapa si sincer I'm looking forward to the challenges. Imi ofer singura un plan B si un deadline, adica daca in 6 luni nu reusesc sa imi gasesc un job macar jumatate din ce visez, ma pot intoarce oricand in londra sau pot merge altundeva... dar pt moment, i just want to be home. Cred ca mai e si un alt aspect f important- cred ca noi, cei tineri, cu experienta @ am condamnat intotdeuana Rom pt lipsa de oportunitati, imbecilitate, coruptie etc. What about doing smth about it? Sunt convinsa ca cei care se intorc imbogatiti spiritual si ca experienta culturala internationala pot oferi tarii o noua perspectiva si pot participa la o schimbare benefica in folosul tarii.... sunt multe plusuri care le putem aduce si sunt convinsa ca e nevoie de noi si ca putem face o diferenta. Putem pune tot ce am invatat in practica si realiza proiecte frumoase... atata timp cat vrem... dar cred ca e important sa stim ce vrem... sau macar sa ajungem sa ne auto-educam sa invatam ce vrem... nici eu nu stiu 100% ce vreau...asta a fost mereu marea mea problema... pt ca pt fiecare decizie care o iei sa stau intr-un loc si sa iti ieie un job etc, iti refuzi practic o multitudine de alte optiuni...asa ca trebuie doar sa iti dai seama in ce etapa a viatii tale esti, unde te afli acum, de ce ai nevoie, ce iti trebuie, ce o sa te faca implinit? fericit? sa iti puna a huge genuine smile on your face? :) Sunt la Gaesti la ai mei acum, stau cu ei 2-3 saptamani inainte sa ma mut inapoi in Pitesti.... sper sa ajung oricum saptamana viitoare ca mi-e dor rau de oras...o sa te sun curand.... Pupici multi si un An Nou plin de challenges si accomplishments, asa cum iti plac tie!!! Mona xxx

Dragule, tin minte si acum conversatia din acel pub, din martie, din Vilnius, in care tu si Alisa ma convingeati cum sa plec intr-un eXchange e cel mai bine pt mine, iar a merge in Europa e plictisitor :). Uite ca voi m-ati motivat si am plecat din nou de "acasa". Insa inainte, am fost, ca si tine, intr-o mare cumpana. Inca ma gandesc daca am facut bine sa plec din nou, sa o iau iara de la inceput intr-un alt loc. Dupa cum te stiu pe tine insa, ti-e mai usor sa te adaptezi si iti place sa fii provocat de un mediu nou. Nimeni nu poate sa-ti zica ce decizie sa iei. Cred ca numai tu stii ce sa faci cu viata ta si stii asta deja :) o stii in inima ta! Sfatul meu este sa-ti asculti inima; eu tare cred ca inima sau intuitia (daca vrei sa-i zici asa) iti va zice adevarul si te va ghida in directia buna! Multa intelepciune la decizii si La multi ani!

you know what i think - From: Purpose of life? travel? stay? build? play?
hello hello you know better than anyone what i think: i guess traveling is cool and i know you really enjoyed these years, but i think it's time for you to settle and build a life here. maybe i am selfish or maybe not. i don't think that staying here means that the traveling is over, no, you will explore more but from other point of view: maybe tourist; think about it and remember you are the only one that can take this decision!

mind vs. heart?? - From: Purpose of life? travel? stay? build? play?
Well, what I would say - come back to Lithuania :)) OK, I know Lithuania is not the one that can offer you a good life.. In my experience heart would always keep showing the wrong way.. Cause heart works according to our willingness and feelings, but our mind is being much more objective and would see everything in more clearly way. What do u think?! My personal opinion is that a person feels the best and can do all things in the best way just when the environment is good for him/her. I guess for most of the people having family and best friends close makes them feel satisfied. I know you are the one that likes challenging things and you've been traveling a lot.. But I think settling down somewhere and beginning everything by finding a job, creating your own family and starting to build up your life from the background would be the best way. Because when you are "on a road" all the time you are just floating and every small wind can blow you to the side you do not really want to go. And when you don't have where to hold yourself to it is very hard to resist to that big current.. So, you have to stick yourself somewhere to be strong.. If you feel that Romania is the place - stay there. I would say one thing - during years you were traveling but did not really find yourself in any country you've been to. You came back to Romania, to your roots. This should tell you something. Maybe it is not that easy to be far away from your homeland, hometown, family, friends,... Wish you all the best! And always caring about u!

Don't stop! - From: Purpose of life? travel? stay? build? play?
Sunt momente in viata cand ne indoim de drumul pe care trebuie sa-l luam, stam la rascruce si ne uitam dupa nori, dupa stele, iar vremea trece, apa curge. Poate Craciunul, sfarsitul de an nu este cel mai bun moment pentru astfel de decizii. Ce vreau sa spun este ca odata ce ai trait in alte parti, ai prins "gustul" otravei de a hoinari. De ce sa te opresti acum? Sunt atatea de facut, atatea de explorat, numai sa fie luate in ordinea "numerelor de pe tricou". Tot inainte, Danny!

a bit late for comments - From: Death of culture...Europe...another sad discovery.
Hi Danny... Thank you for sending me the link to you page. Nice post, I like it very much, though I mus disagree with the conclusions. I believe culture is changing, in deed. We can dream and be melancholic about the past times, decades ago, when the local culture of each country was not only strong, but also different. But we can also enjoy the present and whatever the future might bring to us. Now I am amazed how I can so easily communicate with people from all over the world. It's a part of my job to do so, and I must say I do appreciate all the instruments that can make the world smaller, bring people closer. They know the same products, have now similar habits, and speak the same language. And most importantly, after you get to talk with them, you discover how different they are, and you start to feel again the local flavor of their cultures.
