The View at Night
This was taken at night after a hard day at the office. I was in the backseat hanging on for dear life as Emi was driving. Another trip survived being transported back to my apartment where it is safe and sound. I can hardly wait to get home so I can enjoy my Pizza Hut Pan Pizza, the closest thing I have found to American food as of yet.
Well, I won't be eating there very often. (sad face) I checked the bank charge to see how much a Medium Pizza and 12 oz. can of Pepsi Light cost me... and low and behold....
| 12-29 | FOREIGN FEE | $ 11.64 | ||||||||
| 12-29 | DEBIT CARD PURCHASE | |||||||||
| PIZZA HUT 4 BUCUREST | $ 24.11 | |||||||||
It was very delicious, until I found out how much it really cost me. (Total of $35.75)
WEEK 4
Here is the view as I walk thru the park to get to the McDonald's and the little food market. The advertising here is huge, and I literally mean huge. Behind those huge banners are all these little shops or boutiques, here they call them magazines. Very hard to find my size clothes in any of these stores.The shopping center is very crowded. It is about 6 floors of shops, and a couple of cafe places where you can have something to drink and of course they smoke there also.
If I cross at the far left of the park you can see even more of the shopping places. Everywhere you look it seems something is krammed into every nook and cranny. As you can see the traffic is just jammin.Well, I am going to eat at KFC for lunch today. You know the big adventurer in me say go for it.
Oh boy. I think everyone in Bucharest had the same idea as me, gettin some chicken. I waited in line 45 minutes. That is how many people wanted some fried chicken. I guess they haven't caught to the slogan if there is more than 3 in line open a new register. Ha Ha Ha.

Let It Snow, let it snow, let it snow
Tuesday, Decemeber 26, 2006
It is snowing. Brrrrrrrr. It is very beautiful though. I watch it fall to the ground. The flakes are so light I am just amazed at how these tiny flakes land on the ground and collectively make snow.
It's 9:45 am and the sun just poked its rays thru the clouds and the flakes are gone. Not used to the sound of shovels scraping along the sidewalk, and plows clearing the roads. The people here are very used to this weather. The children were playing soccer on the sidewalk with an empty 2,5 liter as the ball. I watched from the balcony for only a few minutes, the cold gets your nose frosty very fast.
Ahhhh. Coffee to warm me up from the inside out. Mmmmmmmm. I need to get back to work. Emi and Denisa come home today from their trip to Italy.

DAY ELEVEN
Tuesday, December 19, 2006
I am eager to view the site on the testing server. I hope it is updated. I am working on the My Business Section. I have designed the Virtual Rolodex, and I am quite pleased with the way it looks.
I also need to work on the Auto Page of the RSS Feeds. Right now I am doing most of the page design. It works best for me right now.
I figure if I keep busy, it will make my time here go by faster. I am really starting to miss American Food. A nice juicy New York steak with some steamed broccoli and a small dinner salad with Ranch Dressing, oh boy that sounds delicious. I know what I am going to do first thing when I get back to the US! Now I just need to find out who's buying? LOL any takers?
I wish it was February 6th, that would mean I get a steak dinner when I get off the plane. Mmmmmm I can hardly wait, as I lick my lips...... Snap out of it!! Come back to Romania . . .

DAY TEN
Monday, December 18, 2006
Good Morning! It is 6 am here. I am having a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios and coffee. I am eager to get the day started I guess. I don't have an alarm clock with me so I am relying on my internal alarm. So far it keeps going off at 6 am. It works for me, I get to say good nite to Brandon, and the rest of my Family who is on Skype because that is about 9 pm US time.
Went to the office this afternoon. It was raining today, the traffic was horrible! It took us about an hour or more to get here. It normally is about a 15 to 20 minute drive. We met with the team and went over the notes me and Emi worked on Saturday. Everyone appears to understand me just fine, Emi translates in Romanian just to make sure. Well, we have to leave in a rush due to the traffic, it is 3 pm and their flight leaves at 5:30 pm. Hope they make it....
Well, I am back at the apartment now. They had to drop me off near Unirii Square, so that they could make their flight. It was sprinkling, not too bad. I stopped at McDonald's for a salad. ($6 USD) It was worth it. They don't have lettuce in the markets, it is the wrong season here. It had a fair portion of chicken and yes I had to pay for the dressing separate. Aaaarghggh!
Very good. Emi called from the airport and they made their flight. Whew! Well I do have to type up todays notes in a google doc for the team. So I better get it finished. I want to set a good example and all.
