What I’ve been up to
18 Apr
- eating. Lots and lots of eating. I expect I’ll be exploding every time soon. Really, ice cream, cookies, cakes, lots of cooked food, chocolate. I am so going to die.
- Pavla is visiting so we went to Sighet. Alex was driving and we were just enjoying the ride
We visited the Memorial of the Victims of the Communism. It’s something that really gets to you. I was pretty tolerant when I heard old people saying that “in those times it was better”, but now I think I’d go crazy if I heard someone saying something even remotely good about that period. Bastards! - I was for the first time in synagogue. The man who showed us around was very very nice and I found out some interesting stuff about the Jews in Maramures.
- the trip was nice, Maramu’ is lovely, the company was great
- still haven’t finished with my final paper, still haven’t done my homework, already freaking out with school stuff. I hate that!
- I went out with my bike quite a lot. It’s so bloody nice! Still can’t believe how civilised the drivers are here and how many bikers there are on the streets. Thumbs up!
- bleah, I don’t want to go back to Bucharest.
Glad you’re back, I missed you….
Am fost si eu de sarbatorile astea in Maramures…am vizitat memorialul si chiar de stiam de multe din povestile de acolo imaginile puscariei aleia m-au cutremurat: neagra, camera de tortura, elisabeta rizea, taranii deportati, bisericile daramate, tehnici de tortura, istorie dureroasa si cruda.
Da, trebuie sa vezi locul ala (si altele ca el) ca sa intelegi cu adevarat ce s-a intamplat acolo si cum. Brrrr!
