DAY SEVEN

Friday, December 15, 2006

Today, marks 1 week here in Romania. I am feeling the onset of "homesick". If it weren't for "Skype" I don't know what I would do. Thank you everyone for keeping in touch!

Oh, I had my first experience with a Romanian Fly the other day. It was in the 40's and so I opened the doors to my balcony, well in came a fly. I thought where is the flyswatter? As I sat back down at my computer and I looked down at my coffee cup and saw this huge Romanian fly. My eyes got big, like how am I gonna ever kill this thing...... so my first reaction was to shooo him away, so I did and he ran right into my hand, I thought these flies here are kinda dumb, or really slow due to the cold. He flew right back on to my cup right, so I slowly crept my hand up to the cup my finger ready to flick him right in the melon. Low and behold he let me get right up on him and POW! Romania has one less fly today. Now I know they must have used Romanian flies for Mr. Miagi (Karate Kid) to catch one with chopsticks. LOL!

Emi ordered me Romanian Pizza to be delivered to the apartment for lunch today. For those of you who have been keeping up with my Blog know how appalled I am at how they charge for those condiments right, well you guessed it, I had to pay for the sauce!!! I can't believe how they do this here. I literally laughed out loud when I checked the receipt and saw I paid 75 cents for sauce. By the way they barely put any on the pizza so you pretty much have to buy the sauce! Oh how you gotta love `em. If America ever caught wind of this process I shudder to think what chaos would break out. I would have to start a protest or something. I am sure that when I get back home I will never look at a packaged condiment the same, you're going to find bins of them in my fridge! LOL
