Floweret's

"She did some talking to the sun!" She's the one the one talking to the birds and plants. She was my room mate for 2 weeks, instantly my friend.
 She's the one that asked me the national flower of my country, the answer is Rosa Canina. Thank you for asking.
Tomorrow, here (Today in Brunei), is her birthday. Happy Birthday Lin Ji! She's also my wife, my noodle, pretty, little, smart, cute noodle.
I could ad...chocolate noodle, asian tulip, bio-noodle, my medicine...
I could describe her through every flower in the world but I would like to say you are my friend. Please forgive me for telling you several times that I will send you a large email and I didn't. Not even a short one. But I'm thinking of writing it and I remember that a lot of time passed since ASEM and I don't know how can it go so fast. Where it goes? Does time have a place of his own? A home where I can find the moments I lived 10 months ago and take them back, live them again when I'm down. Those moments felt like truly alive and I did not wish for anything else, not even returning home. Was that big that I still don't have a post on my blog (my geographical blog!) about my visit in Brunei. That's not ok, I'm turning this blog into a scrapbook of thoughts, a draft of what I used to write a while ago.
Well, my dear floweret, Happy Birthday again....I will eat from your cake, hug you and party with you for your birthday, lucky we have a great imagination!
Your European pineapple.

Intr-o gara.

Cu referire la postul din vara despre trenuri/trenul vietii revin cu acest titlu pentru a vorbi despre o anumita oprire a trenului. Este clar cea mai cautata destinatie turistica, se spune ca mai ales de femei. Sunt incantate pana la lacrimi. Mie daca mi place? Poate dar as vrea mai spontan...calatoriile planificate in cel mai mic detaliu nu sunt chiar pe gustul meu. Am o prietena care a ajuns acolo de curand. Din acest motiv (dar si alte scrieri literare internautice ) m'am gandit ca aceasta destinatie merita pusa aici.
Unde este? Gasesti pe fiecare continent, se merge in doi, calatoria seamana sau nu in functie de "turisti" si gusturile lor pentru...mijlocul de transport, imbracaminte etc.
Se cheama NUNTĂ.
Nu stiati ca este o destinatie turistica, aflati acum. Da...poate fi o calatorie de placere sau de...afaceri. Ca spectator la nunta cuiva te bucuri, razi,canti, dansezi, bei, mananci. Nu stiu de ce totusi niciodata nu m'am putut bucura cu tot sufletul. Aseara am fost cel mai aproape. Nelipsita de evenimente si oameni interesanti mi-a dat o senzatie bine...la fel si vinul..As fi baut si bere daca m'ar fi invitat cineva...eventual mirele dezmatat si cu camasa pe afara.
La nunta ta m-a impresionat sinceritatea, sufletul pus in tot. Felicitari!
Daca stiti cum sa calatoriti la nuntă, duceti'va. daca ajung pe acolo o sa va scriu...la post restant.

Eu imi voi da jos rochia si in costum de baie si jartelute voi inota intr-o seara de vara in mare...la Vama Veche....

Maribor - live the student life

Student conference in Maribor was the best time to get to know an interesting and young city in Slovenia. They say is the city of colorful experiences. The truth is that you can't get bored. If you like sightseeing, there a lot of attraction, if you like drinking and sightseeing you can pass by the old wine house. That's interesting because they have a really old vine, the oldest, which is growing for 400 years there. And yes, of course they have good wine.
They have a lot of green areas, a pretty little mountain named Pohorje where will be held in 2013 the 26th Winter Universiade. 
They have universities, culture, sports, drinking, festival. Oh yes, how can I forget the Lent festival!! It was happening during my stay there, every night along the Drava river everything was so alive, cheerful, a lot of beer, music, people...At 12 everything was finished, quiet and people were vanished, where? In the clubs, of course! 
It's a good destination, not so expensive the people are great and for sure you will not get bored.
Oh...How could I forgot the borovnicica, the drink made from blueberries and borovnica ice cream. Uh...When you go there bring some;)

Trenuri

Trenurile au un loc aparte in traditia literara. O sa le dau un loc pe blogul meu deoarece sunt unele din instrumentele ce ajuta la realizarea calatoriilor.
Trenurile sunt mai romantice, mai interesante, mai populare si pline de mister. Nu avioanele, autocarele, masinile, microbuzele, elicopterele submarinele sau mai stiu eu ce. Se spune "trenul vietii" nu avionul vietii...Cu toate ca in ultima vreme distantele s-au redus considerabil cu ajutorul modalitatilor moderne de comunicare iar calatoria cu avionul o sa devina ceva firesc. Si daca ma gandesc mai bine, cu toate ca nu suna literar momentan se pot face alegorii si metafore legate de avioane.
Dar revenind la subiectul de azi, trenul, acesta are o conotatie aparte, pe de o parte inseamna un mijloc de legatura pe distante scurte si medii (pt mine). Pe de alta parte, exista trenul vietii, tren care nu stii cand pleaca, unde are statie, cand cobori si cand urci, cand schimb, cat stai in gara si pe cine cunosti in tren. Poti sa cunosti calatori ca si tine, sa mergeti impreuna mai mult sau mai putin sa mergeti pe drumuri diferite si cu toate astea sa va intalniti in alta gara...alta data.
Mie imi place ca trenul mai putin alegoric are precizie. Stii cand pleaca, cand ajunge si unde pana si, in cazurile fericite, eventualele intarzieri. Nu esti obligat sa faci conversatie cu ceilalti calatori,, poti sa ti valorifici timpul scriind, citind, ascultand muzica, dezlegand integrame. Dar cel mai frumos este sa caaltoresti cu cineva. Dus-intors! Sa nu lasi pe nimeni in gara...sa nu faci cu mana la nimeni.
Imi place atat de mult sunetul trenurilor pe sine, schimbare liniei, imi imaginez cum se invarte roata, oh, acel sunet incomparabil imi gadila neuronii intr-un stil aparte. Sageata asta albastra numai este chiar asa, este mecanizata nu poti sa deschizi geamu sau sa iesi pe culoar sa ti fluture vantul pletele. ca nu ai pe ce culoar...Suntem toti in aceiasi cutie cu scaune si aer conditionat (care e bun pe canicula, recunosc).
Un farmec aparte il are plimbarea cu trenul intre Magnalia si Constanta, paralele cu marea trece si aduna amintiri sarate si nisip in pantofi. Daca este si momentul zilei cand apune soarele este si mai frumos. Mi-e dor de mare...
Mai este vestitul personal la ora 6:20 spre Valea Prahovei, nr.3001. Ah, acum l-au mutat la 5:46. In era vitezei el este batranul personal ce face 3ore jumatate pana in ...Busteni nu zic Sinaia ca ma apuca doru'.
Si in top 3 al momentelor preferate cu trenul (locurile sunt aletorii) mai este acceleratul Bucuresti-Timisoara, de noapte. Ajunge pe 6 aproximativ in Timi si vara rasaritul Soarelui il prinzi cand trece pe viaducte pe Dunare. No comment.
Mai sunt garile...locurile lacrimilor de bucurie sau tristete.
Locurile unor noi inceputuri.
Hai la o plimbare!!!

I found myself in wonderland!

Oh, yes, I've been to the movie! to see Alice in Wonderland...It is not the original story, but It's a beautiful vision of the original one. Tim Burton's imagination wasn't at it's best but I felt in...wonderland.
Is not a story for children, is a story for everybody, a story of courage first of all, in taking the risks of being who you are and be a little bit mad to survive in a crazy world, because wonderland it is my world and yours, is the world we live in. There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.
I found myself in a "Alice" situation, hopping that somewhere is a path for me already written, so that it will be easier for me to accept whatever happens but maybe I make my path and if you think it, It's way better!!
Even if, sometime we don't feel like we belong here, we have moments when we are lost, you feel to old or young for something, to little, to big, maybe this is the fun! The Mad Hatter: Why is it you're always too small or too tall?
Let yourself surprised by small things also,like I did and think about impossible things!
Alice Kingsley: Sometimes I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
The Mad Hatter: That is an excellent practice.
This movie made me feel better, you will laugh or find it stupid but I don't need philosophy to get me out from a bad state of mind. Anyway, Alice in Wonderland it has a philosophical way.
The book was written by Lewis Carroll in 1895 and it's the best example of "literary nonsense" genre (Literary nonsense refers to a style or motif in literature that plays with the conventions of language and the rules of logic and reason via sensical and nonsensical elements. The effect of nonsense is often caused by an excess of meaning, rather than a lack of it).
One of the most famous quotes from the book is ""Down the Rabbit-Hole" and has become a popular term for going on an adventure into the unknown, this was took over in "The Matrix".
I believe always happen good things down the rabbit hole, I wish I find mine! And be much more...
The Mad Hatter: [to Alice] You used to be much more..."muchier." You've lost your muchness.
I do recommend you the movie and more, if you haven't read the book by now, do it! It's all ages book!
and don't forget, if you are mad, bonkers, off your head, I'll tell you a secret, all best people are;)

Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" hits theaters March 5 in amazing 3D
