Why is so tiring the return flight to your country?

I have this feeling every time I fly/drive back home...the feeling of not having patience... if I fly back to Romania, 99% of the situations I try and fail to be relaxed and zen. Why? Because that last day abroad it seems endless. I do my business, it takes longer than I planned, I do not have time to buy online the ticket for the train to the airport, I do not have enough to eat something in peace, I do not have the time to check the surroundings of the airport because I do not know all the airports - take my advice: if you have a stop @ Charles de Gaulle be very very careful, watch the signs and listen carefully to every radio announce they make - going back to the not having time to do stuff before the flight, I try and find the gate for my boarding and then guess what ?:))) Those nice French guys radio us to go to another gate that is in the opposite part of the airport. Go through security check again, run a little to catch the train that leaves you near the new gate - yes, ther

Paris, e-scooters, cobble stone roads & rain

Paris , the city of love, lovers, e-scooters , cobblestone roads and rain. That is what Paris meant to me a couple of days ago :) I say it is the city of love because I love my girlfriend and because I love her even if she is not in Paris with me :) I say it is the city of e-scooters because you literally step on them on the sidewalk - that`s why I picked one up and travelled around the town in and out of the rain :) I say the city of cobblestone roads because I really felt them being on the e-scooter  - oh my God, oh my legs, oh my arms, oh my God - towards Eiffel Tower  - make a reservation before landing in Paris -  from Gare du Nord . I say it is the city of rain just to say something not good about this fabulous city :) It is my first time that I visit a city that blows my mind! I quickly forgot the long walk from the airport to the train station, the ugly and dirty view I got from the train when entering Gare du Nord when I started walking towards the city centre....incredible

His glory day!!

The main subject in this post is a place but I am going to speak as if it was a person, one old very nice, real historical person. This person has it`s glory once a year, he is French and he loves cycling. He loves to host one of the most beloved cycling race. It is a classic in the UCI Calendar, a one day race, from P to R - I did not choose those letter just to be two letters, they really mean something for all cycling fans. The race happens on the 14th of April, every year for the last over 100 years. The race starts in Paris and end`s in ROUBAIX. I think that who knows cycling figured it out what I am writing here. It is all about the VELODROME in Roubaix, this special guy I have just visited - yesterday - and I just enjoyed it to the full. After one long tram journey from Lille to Roubaix, about 22 stops - about 40 minutes of travelling  - and after 20 minutes of walking - I messed up my route and just walked not to get angrier :)) - I entered the sports arena that hosts this gu

It is time to do a good thing for others!!!

I think it is time to do some good things for others. You know, when you are doing good you have to give something back.....so....I will participate this year at Swimathon Bucuresti  - it is in Romanian but you can always hit the Translate button in Chrome :). I was always a little spoiled kid - no big things, but taking into consideration other children I was doing ok. I have to admit this and I can not say it otherwise. As a grown-up, I am trying to spoil myself and my girlfriend as cool as I can. It is not so easy as being a child but we get by somehow. Anyway, SWIMATHON BUCURESTI 2019 it is a charity thing that happens every year and is helping different causes in the entire country. I have a team I am a part in and I have to raise awareness about the poor medical conditions some children live in. That`s why I chose this cause. This is a village called Castelu in Constanta County in which lives a big community of turkeys and gipsy people. Those peoples have families with children

Did you knew that you can cheat death?!

I found out how :) I am in Cluj, again. at TIFF.18 https://tiff.ro/en - it means Transilvania International Film Festival - so, like a story in a story, Transilvania is the land where the famous Dracula lived :) end of the story in the story. Let`s get back to the main topic: is it possible to cheat Death? Yes, according to Alexey Chupov , the director of THE MAN WHO SURPRISED EVERYONE movie. I will take you through the movie just to get you started in searching this movie on line, or to follow if it will be screened in your country. I believe it will have a large expansion knowing that it was played even in China. If you sell something to the Chinese you know you can get anywhere. So. you take one person that has a non-healing disease, you give that person the notice in which the person finds out that he has a short amount of time to live and then the riot bursts. If we would know that we are dying in the next day, we still would try to cheat Death. It is normal trying to do
