this must be the most anticipated autumn i've had in a long time. maybe it's because i have lots of warm, fuzzy green, purple, and brown sweaters that i've been dying to wear. i want to nest and turn off the air conditioner and wear layers again ( Read more... )

You're going back again and I haven't even been once :(
You'll have to send me a postcard.

holy crap heather - I'm jealous.

Lemme know if you want those German cds to brush up :)

pidge September 28 2005, 03:13:40 UTC

well, i'm not going to worry about the language barrier. i'll learn the basics like "guten tag" and such before i go, and just smile a lot.

how are your german studies going?

one of these days i will get around to exploring the west coast!!

Most Germans sprech the Englisch anyway, so you'll probably be alright.

And yeah, come on out west! It's nice here.

oh yeah, no need for the german cds, but i would love that promised mix tape :)

unsolicited waxing of rhapsodic re Bucuresti sallymcvegas October 29 2005, 20:21:25 UTC

Bucharest is AMAZING--especially the university quarter where most of the killings took place during the '89 revolution--there are little sidewalk memorials to all these students who died and you could spend a whole day walking around and thinking about things that are within about a six-block area. The day I was there in May 2003 I stumbled into this tiny, ancient Romanian Orthodox church during a service that was being chanted a cappella by monks; I'm an atheist but it was almost enough to make me rethink that. There are also more really, really good used book stores in the university quarter in Bucharest than anywhere I think I've ever been. Make sure you carry some plastic grocery bags with you if you go out to buy anything, because merchants expect you to bring your own and fuss at you if you didn't. Not a lot of people speak English but Romanian is a Romance language so if you know French/Italian/Spanish you can read basic stuff like menus and street signs ( ... )
