romanca din Vilnius Nu-mi vine sa cred ca ai fost in Vilnius. Si eu am fost in Tallinn. Mi-ar fi facut placere sa vad un compatriot pe meleagurile astea. Sunt aici cu un DT la o scoala din Vilnius pana pe 29 aprilie. Daca revii in Vilnius pana atunci, ma gasesti aici.
Ce mica e lumea!:)

life is short 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 :) 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..
:) 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 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!".
oh, what a dream! u know, there's something missing in your dream, dear. the "manele" music and the big, fat gypsies, wearing havey gold necklaces...:P
come home! and be one of those people who changes this image...:)
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:)
Hmm..nice Hmm, what can I say? Reading your posting I realized that I admire your desire to build new stories, new challenges and to gain more experience. I can only wish you to spend great time in Estonia and to always post new things to be in touch with you. Still angry, but missing u...
Already there? Hey Danny!
Did you already get in Estonia? That is really cool and I wish you a great year in Communication and Export :)
Keep us posted!
1. Wow.
2. Estonia's song was my favorite in Eurovision. :)
3. I'm starting a new project (School of Values). Waiting for you to come back so we can go nationally. :)
4. Good luck, man! May the God of Automotives lead your way.
Follow your heart! 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! :)
Fain de tot :) Gandurile ca gandurile, iarna mereu suntem mai melancolici. Dar pozele frate, pozeleeeeee!!
Cateva observatii:
- CATA PARUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU mai taie-lllllll !!!!!!!!!!
- ce frumos cu toti aiesecarii din toate timpurile :)
- sa cresti mare profesional si tarie de caracter in Romania iti doresc!
Pupici!!!!
Eu zic sa... 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! :) 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!!!
