Because they are slow. On Sunday, I was on a bus from Danube Delta to Bucharest. I got a tip about a hot video. I managed to post the news a few hours ahead of the newspaper boys, who were sleeping or did not have the news. While I was on a bus, mind you. […]

50 years of communism had impregnated deep in the conscience of Romanians. For example, bragging is not something we like. I cannot say on my blog I am doing well, because people will take that as an insult. What do you mean you are doing well? That is outrageous! I am not doing well! You […]
