I’m in Bucarest today. It’s my first time in Romania – it’s just for two days but it has been very interesting. It’s still a very poor country and it shows everywhere – even the most important place in the city center, where the government resides and the events of the 1989 uprising started is dirty and caotic. Roads are in bad shape and the way taxi drivers drive makes your hair stand. But the country is now developing very fast and it also shows. (more…)

(Some) humans are strange creatures. Apparently to get together and have fun they need to somehow harm their bodies at least by inhaling toxic fumes. (more…)

There is something worth looking at here – women. And I mean not only at the fair itself (sometimes it was hard to concentrate on the equipment shown), but also on the streets of Hanover. It’s still something you can see more frequently in Germany than any other country I do know – beautiful, classy and shapely longhaired blondes. Years of racial mixing in Europe didn’t change some general differences between the countries – and thank goodness for that. The only problem is that, of course, they mostly speak German. Funny that with this supply of beauty Lufthansa is somehow not able to hire at least decent looking stewardesses.

I didn’t write anything for a few days as I was mostly moving around and didn’t have an easy access to Internet – only yesterday I did figure out how to connect my computer through my hosts’ cable modem. In that time I drove more then 630 miles / 1000 kms, walked extensively through the center of Washington, DC and made a drive along the Chesapeake bay’s Maryland shore down to Point Lookout. I don’t think it makes sense to list all the things I did see, instead I’ll share with you some of my thoughts. (more…)
