Interview

Where do you live?
I live in Bucharest.

Do you like living there? What is it like?
Yes, I like almost all the time. All the things you need are not too far: cinemas, theaters, shopping centers, libraries and museums.

What kinds of facilities are available?
Bucharest is a cultural, political, transportation and business center for Romania. Here the life of the city is challenging and vibrant day and night. You may say that the city never sleeps.

Does your city/town have sports facilities, places to eat, cultural centers?
Yes, Bucharest has a lot of sport facilities, also restaurants, fast-foods, gardens, malls. There are also cultural centers besides foreign embassies, public or private universities, science or research institutions.

How about nightlife?
Nightlife is also well represented in Bucharest: there are a lot of bars, cabarets and cafes. Especially in summer time you may find performance in open-air theatre or cinemas till later in the night.

Do you like your neighbourhood? What is it like?
Yes, I like a little. There is a large lake on Dambovita river and a few parks. But also there are stray dogs and uncivilized people, so a trip around could be not so nice.

Does it have parks and lot of green spaces?
There is just a little green space in the neighbour parks.

What would you change about your neighbourhood if you could? How do you think it could be improved?
I would like to have clean and smooth roads and pavement, no dust and no stray dogs, a lot of trees, grass and flowers and, of course, only civilized people.

Never again!


When I was about 6 years old I went to the seaside with my family.
We usually spent a week there every year. Unfortunately, that was our last holiday there.
In one morning, I went with my mother to the market to buy some oranges, as we usually did.
-One kilo of oranges, please! said mum.
-Sure!
While the lady put the oranges into a bag, I was frustrated because she didn't give me one first, so I served myself.
-Where do you have that from, my dear? my mother asked.
I didn't answer. The lady who sold us the oranges proposed mom to weigh the fruits again. After the results, mom turned red because of the shame. She payed the orange and then we returned home.
She tried to explain me what I have done, but I didn't understand then. On the other hand, I knew that I mustn’t do that again.

Christmas is comming!




People all around the world are going to celebrate on the 25th of December one of the most important celebration along the year - the Christmas.
For children is a new opportunity for receiving gifts and sweets. In that wonderful night of Christmas, they are waiting for Santa Claus to put a present for them under the Christmas-tree.
On the other hand, Christmas has also a religious meaning. It is the date when Issus Christos born.


For this celebration are cooked different tipes of food and desserts. For exemple, here is a recipe for gingerbread:(in romanian)

-100g zahar
-300g faina
-300g miere
-150g nuci
-o lingurita de scortisoara
-un varf de cutit de bicarbonat
Se amesteca galbenusurile cu zaharul si se adauga putin cate putin faina. Se amesteca bine, apoi se adauga mierea, albusurile batute spuma, bicarbonatul, scortisoara si cateva nuci sfarmitate, dupa gust.
Compozitia se toarna intr-o tava unsa cu ulei si se baga in cuptor timp de o jumatate de ora la foc potrivit (cuptorul preferabil preincalzit).
Apoi se scoate din cuptor compozitia si se lasa sa se raceasca dupa care se taie in formele dorite.

God: Myth or Reality?




For lots of people all over the world God not only exists, but is part of their life.
On the other hand, there are some people that think God is only a myth and there's no life after death.
In my opinion, God is real because there are lots of writings from the period when Hristos lived on the Earth, about the things he made, about his life and his death.
But not only these. Along the years many unbelievable things happened and many predictions became true.
I think one of the most important thing that shows that God exists is that there are milions of churches and monasteries; inside them are practiced liturgy; milions of people are happy to be part of these.
In conclusion, God is real for me and a myth for others, so it's your decision in what do you want to belive.
