International Women Day

8/3

Today was the Woman’s Day as well as the Mother’s Day in Romania. Men will buy flowers or even a present for girlfriend and mother.

Since Mihai needed to move out of his department very soon, David and I need to move to another place to stay. Maria first took me back to the information desk but there was sudden change that I could live in the dorm with David. (I have moved to Dany’s place and later moved back) It was good news as well as a bad one. It was because there was no internet in the dorm but it will be better not to disturb other people.

At the same time, another trainee for the World Citizenship Project arrived, who was called Cristina. She was from Moldova, the neighbouring country of Romania. The political issue between Moldova and Romania was similar to the case of Kosovo. This political dispute hindered the development of Romania and Moldova. In reality, they shared the same culture and the same history, but now it even needed a visa for people to travel to another country. Under the Russian influence, people in Moldova now can speak Russian as well as Romanian.

Mihai and David met me at the bottom of the hill and we went to eat some large sandwich clubs at Ando. I was invited to join the meeting of World Citizenship Project and I experienced a different working style from them. They were quite inefficient since even deciding a little thing casued so much time. Not many outputs were generated in the meeting. It will be interesting and challenging to work with them.

Snow didn’t stop falling and it was really cold in the night. >.<
