A Belgian village

Image
Ourthe 90 This village is situated at the Belgian border with Luxembourg. It is a small place, with big houses and an amazing view: green fields, blue sky and in the middle old thick trees. More then half of the villagers live in renting accommodation and also most of them work without contract or do not work. The salary are quite small – a 15 years experienced teacher earns 1200 euro monthly. That’s why they are a bit jealous on people from the village who work at the EU organization and earn more than 2500 euro per month. For the EU employees is more convenient to rent a house (with at least 3, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, etc.) in Ourthe , which is no more than 500 euro per month, and travel every day to Luxembourg where they work. Of course, to live in Luxembourg and rent a house, this will cost more than 1800 euro monthly. In Ourthe it is silence most of the time, you can listen to the rain more often than to the people voices J And because I have talked about ...

Three beautiful towns in Luxembourg

Image
Vianden, Remich, Luxembourg Last week I had a walk through these three so beautiful towns in Luxembourg. Shall I begin with the Capital? Yes of courseJ Well, the capital of the Grand Duch de Luxembourg – Luxembourg- is an amazing town indeed. To describe it is so so difficult, even the pictures are less beautiful than the reality. You need to come in here and see with your own eyes, trust me! I will show you some pictures from the Grund..but there are a lot of another cute places in Luxembourg. If you come, please don’t miss: The bridge (Viaduct), the Casemantes, the Fortress, the city's Old Town, The Grand Ducal Palace, etc. Don't forget to try those amazing cookies from Oberweis( http://www.oberweis.lu/ ) and those amazing chocolate from Schumacher ( http://www.schumacher.lu/ ). I love this town and I would love to build a family in here. In my opinion it is the perfect town for a family: parks, grass and trees everywhere, at school children learn 5 languages (because three ...

Produced and directed by Victoria Baltag Adrian Furtuna is a 25 year old Roma man who lives and works in Bucharest. In the movie, Adrian tells the story of his life. In order to achieve what he has today, Adrian had to overcome many challenges. Like many Roma children, he was born in a poor family and did not have good perspectives for his life. However, he was fortunate that his mother was a wise and strong woman. She earned little money by selling canvas and clothes, but she had large ambitions for her son and was determined to help him. He attended the University of Iasi and became one of the best students in his class of Sociology. Therefore, in a way , Adrian’s success is a fulfillment of his mother’s dream. This shows that even though the woman is neglected in the Roma family, she has great power. In this case, the great influence of this power allowed her son to succeed. Everything that Adrian did in his life was inspired by his mother. She had a tremendous amount of faith in h...

Small, hidden, beautiful and mistery

Trier, Esch and Reading Today I will share with you my impression on three small towns from three countries: Trier from Germany, Ash from Luxembourg and Reading from United Kingdom. All of them are beautiful and full of history , which I like most. Let’s begin with the oldest German town, Trier. Just eight euro returning ticket from Luxembourg.Here I saw amazing buildings like :The Porta Nigra or Black Gate,The House of the Three Magi,St. Gangolf,St. George's Fountain,The Trier Cathedral, etc. Also, Trier is good for shopping. Very cheap products are in here. Nice cloths, good brands, big discounts for everything. It is nearly impossible to go in Trier and return with empty handsJ. But don’t take too much money with you because you will spend them all. Actually, for this reason, I didn’t take my wallet with me … and finally I borrowed money from my trainees colleagues. And I didn’t regret: the dresses I have bought were so wonderful! In Trier many couples made a custom to come in h...

Life is a coincidence:)

The first Uruguay singer I have ever seen : Victoria Gomez Sole The life is so amazing and inprevisible, isn’t it? I met Victoria for the first time at the “Centre Culturel de Rencontre Abbaye Neumunster” in Luxembourg. I didn’t listen her songs because I came too late…Even though, I was interested in finding out who is this singer girl called Victoria. We have the same name and I was wondering if it can be possible we to have more things in common. And here you are: I met a very sociable, smiling and happy girl, with a kind of sincere politeness for any people she was talking with. I need to say also that Victoria is enough tall and beautiful to attract people and be a famous singer in the nearest future. I love what she is doing (I mean singing and writing her own songs) and as far as I understood she likes what I am doing (let’s say having a media activity:P). After this I was wondering how come her sister looks so different than her ….my sister is so different than me as well….. An...

Easter time in Luxembourg

Image
Easter time Another Easter away from my family. Another Easter without our traditional Easter bread, red eggs, pasca, cozonac, sarmale and drob:P Of course you don’t know what these all are, hhaha! Sometime I ask myself if I feel I miss these things….sometime I answer to myself that I can survive without….. But this traditions are just traditions? Last year I have cooked a Easter dinner….this year I have not even a kitchen to cook…but I will survive, hahah! We have replaced the traditional Easter dinner inside home with a Mexican dinner out there in the town. I was drinking Sangria (a kind of fruit wine) and I was eaten a lot of unknown and spicy things) . Yesterday me and the other trainees have planned to go to a Greek church…..we didn’t find it and we have eaten our colored eggs in front of a closed cathedral. We broke the egg one to another, we put a wish and we struggled to ate the whole egg (otherwise the wish wouldn’t come true:P ). After this we have arrived in a pub. Haahahah...
