I have been working in Romania for the last 3 years and the commuting to
Bucharest loses its novelty after a while. I am glad to say I have found an
apartment for rent just off George Cosbuc. The apartment is on the top floor and
I have a small balcony and a perfect view of The Palace of Parliament.
This building was built by Ceausescu and is one of the largest buildings
in the world. Most of the palace is now offices and the spectacular Reception
areas and Ballrooms are open to the public. Weather here is very pleasant and a
lot less cloudy days than Britain. Having said that August can be exceptionally
hot and Air conditioning is a godsend. If you like dogs there are plenty of wild
dogs roaming freely each pack its own territory. They are friendly on the whole
and do not bother pedestrians. Eating out is well catered for and some of my
favourite restaurants are Serbian, I was at one the other day where a wedding
was being celebrated together with folk music - great fun. I start work at 8am
and finish at 4pm. getting to work is easy the public transport is good. There
are frequent pastry shops many of them a small window with friendly ladies who
you see wrapped up warm in Romania's cold winters.
It is a dry cold and even at -15 degrees is not as unpleasant as it sounds. There is an amazing amount of new buildings and infrastructure work going on, and in the short time I have been here there are many good changes although many of the roads are deeply pot-holed. I like Romania and Romanian people they are very friendly and they do appreciate it if you have a basic understanding of their language. The company I work for is a company specializing in aircraft components and I travel extensively handling some of their sales. Have not met the man of my dreams yet but am happy to make Romania my home. Found a website www.redence.com who appear to have a lot of east European properties will spend this weekend looking for a house. I don't mind commuting from outside the city as I am often away. I think if my work entailed me to be regularly at the office I would buy an apartment where I am now as it is close to shops and central. My friend has asked me for the weekend in Cluj where she is taking me for a Mud bath treatment. Never tried it but nothing ventured nothing gained.
