NATO summit in Bucharest

Well, I imagine it is somehow my duty as a person living on Romanian terrotory to write about the NATO summit that just ended in our capital, Bucharest. Everybody was here: George Bush, Sarkozy, Putin, Angela Merkel and so many more. For us Romanians was very disgusting the fact that just the region seen by these leaders were completely renovated and made to look beautiful, and everybody was advised to go away from Bucharest for the week, as they don`t need the people there during the summit. Making things new on the streets the presidents saw was something usually done in communism.

I don`t know much about what was discussed ( I know Albania and Croatia were invited to join NATO. I don`t know. Does that change my life?) Macedonia was not asked to join, because Greece couldn`t accept the name of the state, as they clame the name for a region or something. Enlighten me, please.

The summit was the only thing discussed on television here in the past week. And of course all important people in Romania photographed themselves with Bush, like our president in the picture. Our PM too, and whatever.

Well, another subject were the anti- NATO demonstrations, everybody has heared about, and about which you could read on another article. We`ve seen anarchists invited on talk shows, angry ‘hood- rappers’ who were saying their point of view, extreme violences, and people who had no clue what was going on. One even said George Putin came to Bucharest. Others know “the big ones are coming”.

However, I`m happy it`s over, we`re all alone again, left helpless deep in Europe. But now more people know we exist, and that finally, Bucharest is NOT the capital of Hungary.

This is a Brasov blog!

Here are some videos I found on Youtube regarding the city I live in, Braşov. Take a look at the slideshows and films. I promise I`ll take you through the city myself soon, and show some things zou really don`t get to see normally.

Best wishes!

Breizh touch parade last year

Last year, on the big Champ Elysees in Paris, there was a great parade of 3000 celtic and breton singers and dancers, who really made something big out of themselves. The music, the costumes, and the unending crowds who watched it, made that september day one to be remembered.

I was also therer and filmed the parade, only a small part made it on Youtube. You can watch the short video here. Leave your comment.

1st of april- (april fool`s day)

george-w-bushidiot.jpgThis year I got off easily without getting pranked, and I was in fact very happy about it. But hm, the day is not over, so there`s plenty of time. I had a very good joke planed, to play on some one but for some reasons it couldn`t be materialized. However, my colleagues at school tried to play some jokes on the teachers, but managed only to get them angry. Cute?

How was your day? Did you play fools on anybody, or were you the victim of more or less enjoyable fools?

Here is a picture, called April fool`s day, which says it all!

Occident film

Boy oh boy! What a great film!
This Romanian film, made in 2002, was probably one of the best Romanian films, and films in general I`ve ever seen. First of all, because it was something that coul have been done only through the art of film, no other art could have done that. The technique of telling the story was original, beginning to end.
After that, the story itself, about more Romanians living in the year 2000, struggling for a better life, a life they think will be provided by the Western world. But going away is not that easy, as the film shows us, and there are turnings of the situation every few scenes.
In the end, everything happens but what you would have expected.
The characters are so real, and the plot has so many turns, it will let you with your mouth wide open.
Definitely watch it, try to understand the mentality of stupid Romanians find subtitles and be dazzled.
(There are so many scenes I`m sure foreigners won`t get or will not understand as they don`t know the Romanian reality. The characters are totally close- minded and have low lives, so don`t make generalizations, please.)
