This morning started at 6 AM with and early shower and then hindi class. All was well and breakfast was really entertaining as I got to have some giggles with some of my newly made friends, I will miss these little group encounters when I will leave but that's life, it never stops, we have to keep on going and just enjoy everything while it lasts. After breakfast we all got into coaches and went to the British Council again for a session regarding their mission in India and a meeting with Sam Miller. From the latter I collected a couple of quotes that I will share with you "I write why I try to understand why I think what I think" and "I am for better or for worse, distinctive"( about his life in India). The seminar was followed by a lovely al fresco lunch which gave us a good boost for the next leg of the race, the trip to the India Gate, which is an impressive construction meant to represent it's independence. The next part of the journey was a...

Summer  is a lovely time of year,  you have the long days and with a little luck longer, warmer days and sunshine. Why wouldn't one love summer then!? I was contemplating how much I enjoy this season and how busy the days seem to be, of course the British summer isn't as sunny but there are days when it's warm enough and it doesn't rain. Therefore, here are my 10 reasons for loving summer: 1. The feeling of freedom it gives. I know will fade with time because school will end and when you work you don't have 3 months of summer vacation but for now it feels so good to know you have such a lengthy amount of time off every year. 2. The repeating cycle of big changes preceeded by it, every 4 years I start a new chapter in my book, passing from one school to another, from one city to a new one, so I anxiously wait for these rare and random summers. 3. The wonderful hot weather perfect for all those trips and relaxing walks, though it isn't true for all the ...

Today's post is a sequel of the previous 10 things I love... post and since I was in England for quite some time during the past 2 years since I turned 18 I can make a shortlist of things that I love about it just like in the case of Romania. Even if I travelled on my own when I came to the UK I always found my friends there and even made some unexpected new ones, like the French guy that took me out for a coffee 2 weeks ago just because we were waiting for the rain to stop in the same place.  Here it goes, 10 of the reasons why I love the UK: 1. The people, who, contrary to the popular belief, are very "warm", they will always give you a smile and a "You alright?", which always make my day better. They manage to make me smile for no apparent reason just by smiling themselves. I first realized this when I was walking through a park and a nice old couple started chatting to me and I realised how nice it is to have such an unexpected intervention...

This post might be a little quirky but I am writing this blog more like a personal diary to see how I develop as a person and it is as well a personal project. Regardless of people viewing or reading it I will keep going and hope it will develop into an interesting page that others would like to browse. Without further ado, here are 10 of the many reasons why I love Romania: 1. This is my birthplace, that special somewhere where you feel at "home". Although, I will get accustomed and grow to love my new home I know that Romania will always have a special place in my mind and that my heart will skip a beat every time I will return here. It is such a beautiful place with amazing landscapes and traditions, cultural attractions and booming nightlife and so much more. (I will probably make a future post with my favourite places to party, visit, eat and relax in my home country if I'll feel homesick). 2.  This is the place where I received a comprehensive education...
