Bucharest trip

Few words about our trip to Romania – it was amazing, day and night comparing to what I was expecting. The image of this country that we have is really bad and completely wrong. All the people I know think about Romania as an a bit creepy developing country (how did they even get to EU?), with 99% of population being gypsies, creepy buildings everywhere, rubbish and graffiti on the streets, dogs that attack people and people that are not educated at all. In reality it is totally wrong. Like totally. If I didn’t know that I am in Romania (ok, not really possible to wake up somewhere not knowing where, but let’s imagine that), I could assume that it is Belgium or any other European country.

Long week - longer weekend

Trying to pack my backpack, but it's hard, even though I have quite an experince in packing... Why I am packing? Well...
The day September 6 is a very important one in the history of Bulgaria. It is the Unification Day of Bulgaria with Eastern Rumelia (Southern part of Bulgaria) in 1885, separated in 1878 by Berlin treaty and given to Ottoman Empire with partial autonomy. However 7 years later brave Bulgarians finally got their territories back and are celebrating this day since then. For us as foreigners here this means two things - we are happy for our friends and we have one more day free. This is why this week we are working Monday to Saturday, however Sunday to Tuesday having 3 days holidays.
