… someone enters your life like a storm, shattering every concept or principle you have ever had about relationships or love stories, turning you into a mindless yet full-hearted maniac who is willing to do anything to keep going with the happy state of mind he is feeling.

And you know why this is amazing? Because it’s worth every single second of it.

I got the opportunity of going to the city of Sibiu for a couple of hours and I couldn’t miss it since I wanted to get a preview of the town prior to the Artmania Festival which is due to start one week from now. Our only stop on the way to Sibiu was  at the Cozia monastery where we lit up some candles and took some very, very nice photographs of the monastery itself and the surrounding areas (which also include the Olt river).

An hour later, we arrived in Sibiu where we hanged around at a cafe, planning what to do in the following hours. We desperately needed a coffee instead of coffee flavored milk.

One of my ideas was to look for my roommate since I remembered that he mentioned a cafe once or twice, saying that he always hangs around there: Art Cafe. We struggled for around half an hour to find it but when we finally got there, he was nowhere to be found. Ain’t that much of a surprise, ey? We asked the bartender, she gave him a call (he’s a loyal customer I guess lol) and he arrived:

All in all, it was a great day and it might have been all we needed to get rid of all this Bucharestian(?!) dust that fills our lungs each and every day. The trip was worth the effort of waking up at 5 AM and I would gladly do it all over again, accompanied by the same two people, one of which happens to be the dearest person for me.

I still can’t believe that one week ago I had just arrived in Romania and there were so many things and situations I wasn’t used to. However, I do feel fullfilled at the momment and I have set some goals which I will definetly struggle to reach after my return in Aarhus. These goals are not to be made public since that might compromise the odds of them happening

It feels so good!

Bucharest has a bunch of really odd internet service providers. Each and every rain causes the internet connection to go numb and I can’t find any logical explanation for this fact.

And since it rained almost each day, I was out of any internet connection almost each day, go figure it out

I feel happy and I am pretty sure I am not the only one feeling like that

Here goes one of those twitter like messages: the Santana gig I have just attended during the Best’Fest in Bucharest, Romania was absolutely awwweeeesomeeee! We danced on 40 square centimetres for a little over 2 hours and it was terrific! It was way better than what I had anticipated although he didn’t play “Europa” or “I love you much too much” which are my 2 favourite songs. He did however play classics like “Corazon Espinado”, “Black Magic Woman” or “Maria, Maria”.

Well, what can I say more? Although it’s night outside, the sun is still shining in my head, making me smile and anticipate what the future will hold for me. God damn, it feels fine to be happy!

Finnair update: I went to the airport this morning and picked up my luggage. It was sent on the first flight from Helsinki this morning and all the interior of the bag was ok but they fucked up the exterior since only the side handle is still usable while the pulling handle is torn out and 90% destroyed. Oh well, shit happens.

Other than that, I couldn’t be more happy. Today was a wonderful day and I can say that spending the holidays in your home town is something everyone should do once in a while: seing some unfamiliar places might be nice but spending time with some of the people you love and care about is more than awesome. If I were to make a combination of my ideal place to live in, I would mix some of the people I know in Romania with a few people I know in Denmark and live in Aarhus, with the Romanian prices and food but with the Danish salaries.

Oh, did I mention I’m in love?

speak later.. It’s Santana gig tomorow evening!

I arrived in Romania around 7 hours ago and I drank 2 beers already cause I needed it: Finnair has lost my luggage and the luggage’s of 6-7 other travelers. We filled out all the forms and now we can just hope that we will get them back.

The thing is that I have made a stop over in Helsinki and then I headed for Bucharest but there are some people who only went from Helsinki to Otopeni and their luggage still hasn’t arrived. We weren’t give any explanation and I don’t know what to do: my wardrobe and all my souvenirs are gone and the only clothes I have left are a pair of shoes, the white jeans, a shirt and some long sleeves. I do hope Finnair will find those luggage’s otherwise God knows what us will do. This is tottally , tottally, unacceptable!

Here’s a short log I kept in the last day, I am going to bed now, using my brother’s short pants cause I don’t have anything else to wear and the heat in Bucharest is astounding even during the night.

I just arrived in Copenhagen Airport. The sun is shining more than what I had expected but this is a good thing cause it keeps me awake. I left Skjoldhoj kollegiet around 11 PM last night and I got to the train station in Aarhus at 12. Waiting for the train to the airport was not as harsh as I thought it would be since I just solved some crosswords, drank a cappucino and hanged around. However, the journey on the train was not how I expected it to be: although it was a Wednesday to Thursday night, the train was packed and I am so happy I paid those extra 30 kroner to book a seat. Another thing that kept me awake while on the train was the movie I decided to watch: Watchmen, the extended edition. 3 hours full of everything you could want (I skipped some nudity scenes since there was a 13 year old next to me and I didn’t want to give the wrong impression).
Among the things I have forgotten to buy are the batteries for the camera. I was just about to buy them from 7-11 but I changed my mind when I noticed that I have paid 40kr on a 0.5 liters bottle of coca-cola. Oh well, I guess that’s just how the prices are everywhere around here and it’s just a pity that they wouldn’t take euros. Meh, it’s alright though.
I’m gonna shut down the laptop now in order to save some battery so I’ll be able to write more from Helsinki and why not, from the plane (although I am surely going to be sleeping on the way to Bucharest).
God damn it, I am so nervous!

I now regret the fact that I didn’t book an earlier flight to Helsinki. I am just hanging around the airport (literally) with a huge thirst but no way I am paying another 40kr for that coca-cola! I am not tired anymore and I feel just fine like I have been awake for 3 or 4 hours I was just hanging around outside and I heard a couple speaking Romanian so I talked a little with them. The lucky bastards had Czech Airlines tickets and are due to arrive in Bucharest around 2 PM. Oh well, at least I won’t feel the heat of the concrete as they will hee hee.
I am getting pretty bored but I think I will survive. The flight I was talking about earlier will depart in around 1h40m so I could have done the checkin since now instead of just walking around with this (hopefully less than) 20kg luggage. Meh, I am wondering who is actually going to read this article but anyway
Well, I honestly don’t think I am going to write anything else from Copenhagen so I ‘ll continue this article when I’ll be in Finland! Hurray!

This might be the last article written by me while being on the Danish territory in the following month and something. I am not sure if I am going to get any internet connection on the train from Aarhus to Copenhagen but I might as well try.

I am very nervous. Actually, my heart is pumping out of my chest at the momment and I have no idea how I’m going to make it pump less. Well, there isn’t much to say except that I am extremely looking forward to a particular meeting on Friday with a certain special person

Well, that’s it for now, Denmark! See you soon with your blaze of glory and your soul-hurting winters. If you don’t hear from me, I’m either too happy to go online or check the news Just for fun, here’s the map of my travel to come. All the best!
