dear all,
i have decided to open the gates that guarded the box with thoughts and thus added an international flavor to my tiny blog. starting this day, posts will be written in english so that all my friends whose knowledge of romanian is poor can read what goes on here. i would like to welcome all to this blog by saying that i am very happy to have them here, sharing their thoughts with me and enhancing our communication even at such great physical distance as the one separating romania from hungary, greece, france, ireland, the u.s.a, and so on. here's to friendship without borders !
P.S. since we are talking global, let me share what comes to my mind when i think of other countries. wine for france, olives for greece, beer for ireland ... my friend, George just explained something to me earlier and that is a coffee-related issue that i propose to discuss about ...when you ask someone out for a coffee, why do you do that? it seems that in Greece, and here i quote him, "when we say to a member of the other sex:
let's go for coffee, we mean coffee for starters".
SO, WHAT SAY YOU?

Finally a truly international Romanian blog!Glad you did it dear,and from my end I will comment and post as often and as much as dignity-somebody lost it and I picked it up!-allows.
Borders are for maps,tablecloths and OBJECTS in general,those imposed artificial limitations cannot and will not stop us for a moment.
Distance is what we make of it.
Shall we go for coffee?
the country does not matter so much, i think coffee drinking can be an excuse for a date in any country. unless one lives in singapore and would like to have coffee with a norwegian ... then the ... coffee had better be worth the while !
It is not a date we Greeks refer to-it's old sex unlimited.However,culturally speaking,I would not expect a Singaporean or a Norwegian to get the hint.Balkan people are differeent,we have lived together for very long and we get the nuances.
And next topic could discuss the Balkans.An ever unstable region of ever unstable people.A crossing and a melting pot,so hot it can smelt not just melt.
But let's leave more for the next post.
all right, i was being euphemistic, usually men want to cut the chase short, while some women do like their coffee before they hop into bed. and this, too, is worth talking about. on the other hand, i am sure both camps want the same thing, right? then why waste precious time and money on perishables such as coffee :P ... universally human ...
Women also use the coffee excuse and so do the third sex menbers.And coffee unites people,as does wine and other perishables.At least we can check the waters over coffee,allow for the feromones to match or not and then decide.What makes us-even a little-different from other mammals is that we normally do not do it in the street(and deciding whether this is good or bad is yet another topic).Time we must take or else there is no respect at all.Money?Long after we are dead it will be there,can't use it in the netherworld given it exists even
how you drink is how you love, coffee, wine, whatever. going out with someone for a drink gives subtle hints about what kind of a lover he/she is at that time. and both sexes may want the same thing instinctually, but quality always matters. I for one when in deep love take some 20 minutes, maybe more, for a simple cup of coffee. there's something in every little thing... reflecting ourselves.
let's share the light of love and friendship as long as there is light, even a tiny piece of lonely far star in the darkest night imaginable. welcome, George. shine on us, Andrea, you dear crazy diamond.
