Ciau, I woke up today, and realized that I really need to write something, before than this my first impression about Romania will be lost.. Maybe you will say that first impression not always is right one, but i think is purest, because i didnt had any expectations about this country..
And i started to explore, try to feel spirit of this country from my first steps here, from the first people i met. I was just eating every views, sounds, smells.. Those houses, people, cars, streets, animals, trees, bushes.. It was totally new for me, different. And it is, still. Every morning, day, evening, night you can find something new, or just look in a different way at the same things, to feel them more.
In the first days i was trying go somewhere always in a another way, another street, to see more, to explore, to know. But Arad is small and after one week i almost didnt had new streets to see. But this is not a problem, if you walking, living, not just with open eyes, but also with wide open mind and heart. After all.. "Eyes are blind. You have to look with your heart. Whats most important is invisible."
Yet i cant speak about all Romanian people, because i saw just view citys.. But i think i already can speak about Arad. Its a interesting city, otherwise for me everything new is interesting..
Nice riverside, park. Lot of churches, the people seems to me very religious. Cute hauses, old ones, colorfull, with lot of plants outside, ramblers, grapes. Almost every house have familly names on doors, or even in a big signs on the walls.. But otherwise all the houses, yards is behind high fences and all windows is with safety shields.. It feels like everybody are afraid of something, they like to be in distance from each other.. People are proud of their past, who they was and who they are, here is lot of monuments for a important peoples, places, events, wars.. Colorful dresses of gypsy womens, big hats of mens.. Lot of dogs in the streets, very friendly dogs. And what about cats, where they are?? I saw just few, and they afraid of people, you cant touch them.. Lot of holes in the streets. Lot of trash. Lot of Dacia's, i like old ones. And people loves their cars very much, here is a loooot of carwashes. It seems like people like bikes, even in the winter they are riding, especially old people looks very nice. Lot of the people like to make sport, to be trained, in the evening you can see a lot of people who are running, walking, playing football.. I even saw the kids playing ping pong in the winter. Horses in the city. People who lives on the garbages of the city, hand made homes, of the mud.. Here is lot of things, good, and not so good, but for now i saw more just outside, and i want to explore from the inside, to understand, to make change, or at least to try to do it.
