a blogger's view of Romania, Gypsies

The Professor Hearts Gypsies, CFR Sucks, Architecture, Patience and Changing Diapers

Folks, I really got to stop trawling the internet for what people have to say about Romania. Sometimes it just gets so bizarre it makes my teeth ring, you know? Truth is way stranger than fiction. Oh well, I think it’s quite interesting to get a virtually live feed of what people who are examining and visiting and thinking about this country are doing and … Continue reading The Professor Hearts Gypsies, CFR Sucks, Architecture, Patience and Changing Diapers

a blogger's view of Romania, Another Satisfied Visitor

Pumpkins, Queen Marie, the Church, Thanksgiving and the Professor Gets His Drink On

Whew, still busy as heck trying to finish up a project so no time for longer articles. I did find however, the usual mix of oddness whilst trawling the wire. First off, some photos of a “Fall Party” on a Do-Gooder’s blog, which as usual (from the dozens of missionary blogs we’ve seen so far), this always turns into some recreation of Halloween.

Manholes, Dracula’s Castle, Saving Babies and a Romanian Comes Home

Very interesting little mix I managed to find here this morning whilst trawling the wires. I found an interesting blog that is dedicated to nothing but manholes. Say what? Yep, those heavy round metal discs that cover entrances to sewers and the like, and yesterday the blogger did a feature on some Romanian manholes, with a lot of photographs, including several from my town. Amazing … Continue reading Manholes, Dracula’s Castle, Saving Babies and a Romanian Comes Home

a blogger's view of Romania, Foodie

Making Zacusca, Addicted to the MEC, Head Lice, Photos of Bihor and A New Blog Added

Interesting little mixed bag this morning, although I’ve NOT included some of the weirder (and rambling, poorly-written) missionary blogs because frankly they’re all the same. In fact, they all go like this (paraphrased): Oh today I helped a little old Romanian lady out. I couldn’t understand a word she said but oh her toothless grin lit up and I felt the joy of the Lord … Continue reading Making Zacusca, Addicted to the MEC, Head Lice, Photos of Bihor and A New Blog Added
