I amsterdam!!!
Amsterdam- excentrism, romantism, green grass:), women- a city of wonders.
What do I think about Amsterdam?- just LOVELY.
It has something for everyone, people of all ages.
Flowers, cheese for gourmands, grass for ecologists:D, women for men who wanna get in love:P, windmills-also for ecologists(but of a different branch), beer for people on a liquid diet, coffee shops for coffee fans(and other substances), museums, culture, u name it- I think they have it.Even a weird language- it seemed to me smth mixed: Arabic with french and English.
Spending 3and1/2 days there turned out as being great experience.Or should I use the term high?:)))
I enjoyed the raggae music in the coffee shops, cannabis lollypops, the channels and the museums night. Van gogh museum at 1 in the morning with cocktails and a DJ and a band to entertain- quite awsome.
Hope u are not lactose intolerants as I am about to say that it was legen....wait for it....dary!!!!!!
The biking, free spirit and lack of worries, accepting sexuality on all terms- thats a smart nation !
I also got some pictures, but not so many- having been busy enjoying myself-he he he!!!

Blava
Blava e prescurtarea de la Bratislava!
Acesta e numele noului meu "cuibusor de nebunii"!
Supranumit "Little big city" Blava a devenit noul meu habitat.Aici muncesc, mananc, dorm, ma plimb, plang, rad.....TRAIESC:)
Muncesc la IBM, mananc in Polus, dorm cu Sergi, ma plimb cu prietenii, plang singura sau la tel, rad cu pofta din orice motiv....TRAIESC CLIPA!
Blava e un orasel fermecator vara, cu stradute centrale mici, pavate cu pietre, cu multe terase si turisti din toate colturile lumii:)
Un castel in centru, 5 poduri, un palat presidential, furnale industriale, un port de vara, unu de iarna, cladiri moderne, 3-4 shopping centers si blocuri: BRATISLAVA:)

Weekend in Prague
Train: 100 minutes delay: ha ha ha
Bus: 30%cheaper, 100% more comfortable, faster, 4 movies and 2 free coffees.
Prague's architecture is really beautiful, with interesting buildings. I saw pretty amazing roofs and walls. Everything has a special air, a particular appealing aura.
The castle, the Bridge, Vltava,the astrological clock (whose's tower view is amazing) churches,the old Jewish quarter- everything makes this town attract thousands of people from all continents. Its difficult to hear some Czech around:D.
But I do not want to speak about this side of Prague in particular, more about the funny weekend that we had.
Prague in "funny: facts:
The weekend was about taba rab rab pap pap, ooooooooo- during the night, in the tram, in the apartment:) everywhere
There was also a guy who puked on my jeans- lucky me it was only a little and on the back part down.
A 50 years old man trying to hit on me: come on grandpa, stop the Viagra treatment, it will damage your heart.
One drunk girl in the tram without underwear: I could practically see her "soul". She was wearing a tiny tiny dress and I guess she decided that during summer underwear it's just a waste of time. We came up with more theories about her underwear, but ....
We had one cigar burnt shirt: the tribute of smoking in crowded clubs:D
2 comfortable beds: lets just say that we slept until 13:30 on Saturday.
one patient host:)))
ordered 12 bears at once, just for me:D I can't reveal this fact, I will just say the waiter kind of wanted to kick my ass.
I bought one pink funny book from the biggest library in Eaters Europe I think!
That's about everything:)
PS: Prague is a must:)))

End of Intership:)
10 months have passed.
Looking back now it doesn't seem so much, but in the beginning I really thought it would be a big challenge.
I learned a lot of things, how to look at people, not be so judgemental, be more patient and rely more on me.
Last year my LC(local comittee Constanta) matched me for an ET intership, for teaching English in Slovakia, Spisska Nova Ves.So, in august 2008 I "landed" in Spisska Nova Ves to become the future "misses teacher otzeanu":)))
The beginning: hm- I was quite dissapointed- taking into account that the town is small and there weren't so many internationals around.
Cultural shocks: not very huge, our cultures are similar.
Some differences: I think Slovaks are slow thinkers, and that they are not as witty as Romanians. They are afraid of taking risks and they say they know stuff but then u realize they dont. Nevermind. The slovak food was also a little different and containing a lot of cabbage:)))
I was a little depressed when starting there. Also because I had some problems with the papers, due only to the lack of information( but when u are abroad everything tends to grow out of proportions) Everybody was telling me "don't panic Livy"-but of course I did. Then I got better.
I made new friends, aka a Hungarian boy who was also in an Intership there for two months. I must admit I really had fun with him, as we were travelling every weekend to some places.Also a girl from South Africa(Jaqui), she is great and she even visited Romania because she liked my best friend and me.:)Due to her, now I know there are lots of white people in South Africa:D
I was travelling almost every weekend, to my best friend in the Czech Rep. or to some places in Slovakia. I increased my network, I met interesting people and done some fun stuff.
I have also participated in some projects at school and I went with some students in gorgeous London.
One major experience was staying for 9 months with an old lady who was speaking only Slovak. I called her "grandma". She was really great: she was washing my clothes every week and sometimes she was even cooking for me. I had a nice time with her, we washed windows together:) She had a simple system to make me do smth: she just gave me the necessary tools and showed me what I had to clean or do:) Communication was difficult in the beginning, using a dictionary, but when I left, I could make simple conversation with her and I understood like 40% of what she was saying and showing me.
Communication wasn't very easy but I learned a lot from my colleagues and from my students.
My colleagues where great, they were my friends and my family there.
My students were quite polite and I consider them my friends, we both have a good memory of this experience.
The aiesecers there- they were friendly but I also had some minor conflicts, because of their organizing my coming there. But I had a nice time with them and I appreciate their help. I must admit some of them were very helpful and friendly.:)Thanks guys!
I liked being in another country so I decided to spend some more time in Sk, but in Bratislava.
Thanks AIESEC a lot for the opportunity of going abroud. The AIESEC network is just great! Really!
I advise everybody to take this kind of opportunity, it's a great experience!
Hugs,
Livy

Leapsa cine sunt eu?
Preluata de la Santiaggo.
1. Daca ar fi sa fac un muzeu al propriilor mele accesorii sociale*, ce exponate as vedea pe raftul meu?
atitudinea "I dont give a fuck", zambete fortate, conversatii de complezenta
(*Accesorii sociale = Lucruri, relatii, oamenii, atitudini care nu ma definesc si de care m-am inconjurat pentru ca “asa trebuie”.)
2. De ce le mai tin inca in viata mea?
ma ajuta sa ma confrunt cu cei din jurul meu, sa imblanzesc fiara vietii
3. Care ar fi acele experiente, oameni, relatii, obiecte pe care le-as lua intr-o carte despre mine?
as lua toate experientele, bune si rele, cartea vietii mele ar fi fada fara toate in ea. am regrete si mandrii, am plans si am ras, asa k as lua totul. si daca sunt prea multe, eu vreau o enciclopedie:)

Michael Jackson
RIP!
O lume intreaga regreta un mare talent, o personalitate care si-a pus amprenta putrenic pe sufletele a catorva generatii. Nu am fost nicodata un fan infocat, insa apreciez melodiile lui. Melodiile mi-au placut f tare, nu imi placea de el k personalitate. Dar cine sunt eu sa judec? El trebuia sa faca fata atator provocari...
Oricum eram prea mica sa inteleg ce fenomen era el. Scriu despre el pt k am o amintire legata de "el" sa zicem, sau de numele lui.
Aveam o colega si prietena care era innebunita dupa el. Si aveam o poza cu el, era nebunia posterelor, pozelor in diferite ipostaze (si Michael era pe departe idolul toturor femeilor).Colega imi zce " da mie poza te rog"(k ea mititica era politicoasa din fire).Eu: "Hm, nu-ti dau nimik ea a mea". Ea: "da tie nu iti pasa, mie da" . Eu: "mda". Si am aruncat-o la gunoi, da in pubela mare. Ea a vrut sa o recupereze.Eu m-am enervat. Si uite asa ne-am certat noi legat de Michaek Jackson. Acum imi pare rau, inteleg mai bine fenomenul si il privesc cu alti ochi.
May he rest in peace!Respect for his work!
