Buna

I am here in Romania, my new home for the next two years! It was a long trip but well worth it....I got to drink a couple german lagers in Frankfurt at the airport and mingle with people from all over the world. The food in Romania is amazing, alot of pork, cheese and potatoos. Everyone is very friendly but look at us like we are different, which I guess we are! I meet my host family tomorrow who I will be staying with for the next 10 weeks! There is a lot going on in Romania right now...they just had a refrendum today on whether or not they should get a new president or keep the current one they have. I start my language lessons on Monday, I am very excited to learn the language because not many speak it around where we are, so communication is a challenge right now. Driving from the airport to the city we are in we past many homes that look much like one you would see in the foothills of Tucson, AZ but right next to them are literal shacks with no roofs. I also saw people walking bulls down the road, now that is something you don't see that everyday in the states! But the USA is never too far away, there is a KFC and McDonalds right next to our hotel!

Peace & Love - Alex

Fantastic! I can't wait to hear more. Start using that new camera and send pic's often.
Hopefully you won't ever have to resort to McD's or KFC....god love (or hate) the never ending migration of American fast food.
be well~

Glad to hear u made it. Bulls in the streets? That is crazy. I remember seeing that in St. Croix years ago. What is your host family like? My 9-5 day is a complete bore compared to your adventures but at least I can live vicariously through u.

Keep it easy.

I can't believe the uptight administrator deleted my comment!! The comment was free of profanity and chalk full of comedic value...what gives?

In any event. I hope all is well Alexander...I don't want to use your last name as the admin. might consider it a misuse of the female anatomy, and we wouldn't want that now would we...
