THE GORGEOUS CITY OF BRASOV

Do you want a holiday fairy-tale, are you an aficionado of a tale landscapes , or you're just a glutton or winter sports enthusiast, or fun to the max, then Romania is the ideal place for an unforgettable vacation.

Anyway, the FIRST STOP you should do to BRASOV, located in southeastern Transylvania, into the curvature of the Carpathian Mountains, at 161 km from

Bucuresti,the Romanian capital, on the DN1. Here you can find anything you might be interested in or entertain you: history, culture, mountain, sport including winter sports, customs and traditions, traditional restaurants or simply select, clubs, sophisticated shops but also traditional, elegant SPAs and health centers. And maybe, who knows, you may meet some vampires, as Bran Castle (called of Dracula's) is only 25 km from Brasov.

You can choose to accommodate yourself to a 5 stars hotel and pay £65 per night or to a 3 stars guest house with £15 pounds per night and even less.

OK! And now let go to have BIG FUN! Going to CINEMAX 5D to Bran (cinema in 5 dimensions) where the special effects are impressive, the seats are moving and the sound is one of exception. And while in Bran, it is indubitable necessarily to have to go to the CASTLE where it may be left few vampires from DRACULA's times!

Brasov is a city full of history and culture, as it was attested documentary in 1235 and having a strong German mark, which is seen in architecture and traditional crafts, food and costumes. The OLD CENTER is truly romantic and impressive represented in medieval constructions like: Bastion of the Drapers, Ropes men and Furriers, the Castle Museum, the Town Hall, the Black Church, the White and Black Towers and the Butchers Tower, the Graft Bastion with the fortified bridge, the Blacksmiths Bastion.

Or maybe you prefer to do sport: Bungee Jumping, Skydiving, Rock Climbing, Motorized hang gliders, Rafting, Paragliding, Riding, Flying by Helicopter or Balloon, Snowboarding, Skiing.

If you love cultural there are dozen of events in Brasov and surroundings like: the Days of Brasov, Romania craftsmen fair, the International Pop Music Festival named the Golden Stag, the Jazz Gala, the Snow Festival to Bran, Bran Sculpture International Festival.

Even the shopping in Brasov are a highly interesting activity. The traditional markets and small shops attract tourists but also the spectacular malls.

This presentation is only a small part of what represents Brasov like a Dream Holiday. If you want to learn more about the city from Carpathians you have only one solution: take the plane and fly to Romania!

Comment: In this very brief overview of Brasov, I've included a few photos from Google images, because my photos are too old and do not have the content I wanted. I wrote the text as a leaflet in 2014 when I attended the English language Functional skills.

GYPSIES (who they are and what they want)-1st PART

I will have several posts related to gypsies. I will not write here, what I read through different texts or heard from people, but about my and not at last Calin's experience connected with gypsies. I can not say they're a people, that they, in fact, were spread worldwide and took not only the physiognomy of the people, in whose country they settled down (or ... not), but also the language, worship, habits and even nationality. When I was a child, in Romania, my parents went to Indian films, which in a certain period were very popular there (I remember "the Vagabond" with Raj Kapoor). At that time, i.e. in the Communist era, there were many cinemas in Constanta (the city where I lived almost half of my life). Wherever Indian films were broadcast, there were huge queues at the ticket box office. The Romanians had not enough seats, because of the gypsies, who crowded the entrance with their families. That's because, they said, that the Indians were their brothers...

IN THE MEMORY OF JUDIE REGLER - A TRUE STORY WITH A TRAGIC END

FROM THE SERIES: FROM THE HILL,  STRAIGHT TO HOSPITAL    I personally met Judie in May 2007 when I first came to the UK. From then until the end of 2017 I kept in touch by emails and in person, she being one of the very few humans that contributed, beneficial, to the change of our destiny, Calin's and mine.   In 2007 Judie was an active woman; she did not have a family near her, but she had many friends and many more acquaintance. She was honest, maybe too honest, and tried, as much as she could, to help, without discriminating, humiliating or demanding advantages of any kind. Sometimes she behaved strange, she said it was due to a mental illness she'd suffered since childhood. We, myself and Calin, have put these actions of her on the fact that she had too much confidence in what people say, especially psychiatrists and occult groups with whom she was in constant contact, and especially because she drank too much whiskey.   Because this article is pa...

CONSERVATIVE or LABOUR

THE WORLD HAS CHANGED, BUT HISTORY IS REPEATING! (This text is more of a comment than an article, because it is not objective but it expresses my personal views!) The British people have the greatest freedom to choose, but not only they not use their brain in this huge advantage, but in important moments it makes choices that deepen the abyss between rich and poor. Unfortunately, the actual British general elections have a huge influence on the whole world and Europe in particular. As it happened on 2015, so will happen on June 8, 2017. Conservatives will, again, win this elections. I state this, because I rely on the conservative character (to not say, really racist and ignorant) of the majority of British, white natives. Here I will make some points. The English does not like to call himself British, because he does not want to accept that the Scots, the Northern Irish and the Welsh are his brothers. The truth is that Welsh people name themselves only Welsh and the Irish onl...
