Now, you've got me curious as to what you're up to in these neck of the woods (other than pilfering the local supply of brides, that is). I suppose as this blog goes along a little further, I may get the chance to pick up a clue or two from you along the way. Multumesc si tu la fel, frate. Lola - The short answer (which no one can believe) is that I'd never ever been even remotely interested in visiting NYC before. Maybe that's starting to change.

But, for the moment, the heart still beats at Romer!can. (Inspiration: "I'm not dead yet. I'm getting better...") Lola - I'll try to prop up ye old blog with quality content, though the occasional fluff will no doubt find its' way in. I suspect there's enough things to mine for some time. I just want to shut 'er down when that ends, because I like this place as a Romania-specific and as experiential. Call now! Representatives are standing by... Heh. I'll be sure to update. ;] Socata in NYC? Wow, that's like reason number 7 to visit the Old World. Funny, little things keep adding up. Maybe I should take a trip there seriously. If I do, I'll spam you in advance. mamaligagirl - Still with us! I thought you were a goner for sure. Y'know one of my favorite songs is now DJ Vasile? It just rocks. I've yet to post about ZsZ but will do so. Thanks for the introduction. Another wedding attendee? Well, I should probably decide today or tomorrow, but I think the BBQ will probably be cancelled. Instead I'll just announce my availability (as far as I know it) and whomever can come out on this night or that day, we'll just catch as catch can. Istanbul is absolutely on the list. In fact, I tried to squeeze it before I go, but it will have to be another trip. I won't forget to spam you. ruxi - You know of more microbreweries?! Where are they all hiding?! I've completely wasted my months in Bucuresti. How embarrassing! Believe you me, I should have liked to have tried each and every single last one of them. More than kebabs. (Shh! I didn't say that.) Alex - Thanks for writing. I would absolutely encourage you to move to Brasov. I feel quite unabashed to declare it The Best City In Romania. Definitely aim to live in Poarta Schei, you'll thank me later once you're intimately familiar with the parts of town in sordid detail. Tell you whut, I'll zap you an email soonish and maybe I can give you some no-holds barred feedback on your ideas. Take 'em or leave 'em, but maybe it'll be helpful one way or the other as you form your plans. stingo - Email. jonathan - Welcome to the show (belatedly)! Did you get to see a decent slice of the country? I take it you spent a little time getting to know the land. It's interesting how the swirling mists of Romania can sweep you off your feet into a world where so many new things are possible and yet entirely familiar. Many days I felt asleep awake. strudel - I fear we’ll all have to survive in time. But, for the moment, the heart still beats at Romer!can. (Inspiration: “I’m not dead yet. I’m getting better…”)

(this song was in my head as I was reading your post hehe) Well I'm also sad to see you go, sometimes I feel your life is a bit like mine but in the future, I'm thinking of perhaps moving to Brasov sometime in the future if my Romanian improves, or at least setting up a base there. If anything, you showed me that I could (just) survive. Speaking of trying to improve Romania's image I had some business ideas that I can share with you, I think more westerners should visit Romania if only for the experience before it becomes just another integrated EU state. All it needs is the right angle =) This is the end….my only friend, the end. (this song was in my head as I was reading your post hehe)
