Bucharest

Or why they call her the Micul Paris?

Bucharest, the capital city of Romania. A big and glorious dwelling that I will visit in two days for a weekend seminar. As all people around me know, I love to travel and this is going to be the first time for this year, so you can imagine my enthusiasm.

I can't wait!

The last time when I visited this one was two years ago in a foggy November and I couldn't see anything from the magnificent interbellum architecture as it was so cold that we needed to hide in the cafes from the piercing winter wind. Bucharest in the winter is cold. Really cold. 

The things that I remember from my last visit are the Whittard Tea Shop that almost made me spend a small fortune on tea and hot chocolate (as I said, it was really cold outside), and the baked bagels with sesame for the small price of 2 Lei that an old lady was selling on the street. 

I hope that this time I will have more luck and later on I will present you some nice shots of the city itself. With me swift trip and luck!

Wednesday:Birdie in Indigo Ink ~ Птичка в индигово синьо

This is a short post inspired by the birds that are in my background scheme and the birds singing outside here.

About my birdie: It is a hand drawn art in Winsor & Newton Calligraphy Ink on Canson Aquarelle paper. Measures 16 by 21 cm, so it is rather small drawing, also it is not too complex. What type of species is I really don't know, but I am really happy how the tail came out and the wing, which is rather blurry on the picture.

Thuesday: Valentine's Day Fever

Today the good news is: The 7-th session is now oficially over for me. I took all of my exams pretty well and now I have plenty of free time to hang out with my brother, to do some office work, to research some new programs. 

The bad news is (there is always one, you know): It is Valentine's Day Time...for my personal taste this holiday is way too commercial and plain stupid.  The whole city is covered with hearths, fluffy things, rose marabu feathers (poor birdies!), it is crowded in every cafe, it is dirty, unkept and  you can't find place to stay in serenity for longer than 2 minutes. There is nothing appealing and romantic in this situation, you know... 

And I need to tell you something "happy couples": you do not need a special day to say: "I LOVE YOU" to your dearest person. Yeap. No secret here. :) This is why I just love these anti-valentine moo cards. Check them out!

Anyway, I wish very pleasant, romantic, interesting and happy week to all who love someone in this world!
