Progress


I'm feeling very proud of myself, as today was the first time I didn't cry, run, whimper or even flinch as a dog made for me.
Today's example was particularly unpleasant - the mangey, saggy-titted bitch emerged from out of the bushes running towards me, barking and baring her teeth; I merely carried on walking.
The dog did not, like all but one of the other times, even touch me, but slunk off, quite literally, with its tail between its legs.
I have also learnt that dog's are likely to go for you if you have a long scarf and belt on your coat that flap (I'm now dog-hypothesizing) not dissimilarly to a tail, thus getting the said animal a bit het up. This was the cause of "the other time" when I was rather unceremoniously bitten (pinched) on the arse. I don't know who was more embarassed afterwards, the dog or me!
Despite my current optimism, I doubt very much that this'll be the last time I talk about the canine race here. For the moment it is câinii unu, englezoaica unu

Hello!

I was searching for some websites where I could learn about Romanian daily life and I stumbled upon yor blog, and I love it already!

Not only are you brave enough to venture into an unknown (?) country but you're catching up pretty quickly! I admire you.

Anyway, the reason I was searching for romanian daily life is because I'm writing a graphic novel about werewolves and vampires and other creatures, and it's set in Romania, specifically in Buzau, so I must understand everything about Romania, even small details. And when I read your blog, I got really excited!

I'm gonna continue reading your adventures and perhaps I'll get to know more about Buzau.

I hope we can be online friends, and count on me for reading your blog!

hey, Aio
Wow, really, you're writing a book about Buzau? The town itself or the region? Have you ever been to the area?
Hope I can be of some assistance. I have loads of ideas for posts at the moment so hopefully it'll help you be creative!
There are a few other bloggers in Romania writing in English, but I don't think there are others in Buzau. Hope it all goes well or you anyway, and thanks for following my blog!
