Writing about the voting experience would be way too uninteresting even for me, especially since it was straightforward and uneventful, so rather than doing just that, I’ll be telling you about how the voting went, some food I bought and my “participation” in Doors Open Toronto 2014.

Acum mai bine de 2 ani, scriam despre cutremurul din l’Aquila, Italia. Acum cateva zile, scriam in pistolul cu pasarica despre cutremurul ce va sa vie in Vancouver. Ei bine, italienii au decis sa aduca in instanta 6 seismologi care au spus cu putin timp inainte de cutremur ca nu exista suficiente dovezi pentru a concluziona ca un cutremur este iminent si aflu despre asta din articolul unei vancou(ve)verite care mai si repeta ce ziceam cu V.

Continui discutia imigratiei in contextul canadian descriind si regurgitand cateva din luarile de pozitie ale ministrului imigratiei cat si cateva din particularitatile sociatatii si sistemului canadian.

I have in the past participated in 'Romanians against others' contests (such as Brancusi @ Saatchi, cum 2 Ro) and never really liked the idea. So I organized quite a few of my own on this blog (guess the relevant category) and again participated in home-grown ones (selgros, roz cu bunici, leustean, verona, economy), and that was better. This time, I have in front of me a list of Romanian inventions (docx) and I get to vote which one deserves a prize from 3M. You can and should vote as well – see the link below.

Whenever I talk to Romanians who want to come to Canada and I answer questions, I always end up being a bit upset. I find that people ask me too many simple questions they could answer themselves with Google and too few of the “important” questions. Maybe there’s a guru hiding inside of me, and here’s where I set him free.

Based on my mistaken belief that there may be people reading this, I go ahead with my recommendations, after the intro and Asia. PISA is not just a set of tests, it comes with suggestions and recommendations.

Katrina (1) ne prezenta recent un obicei practicat indeobste in Thailanda, si anume, gatul de girafa crescut fortat cu inele. Am decis sa aruncam o privire rapida asupra altor obiceiuri similare in jurul lumii. Numitorul comun al acestor practici este ca indeobste baietii sunt crescuti sa se descurce, in timp ce fetele sunt crescute sa fie cat mai dependente, aceasta calitate fiind considerata "sexy".

Canadian Shopping Assistance - Recently, a friend of mine inquired if I can purchase something for her. Explic aici in ce conditii pot cumpara si trimite “chestii” pentru romanii din Ro.

I’ve two heavy things on my mind right now, and unlike WhatsApp frustrations, I don't think I'll be able to balance them with some happier, care-free thoughts. The second part of the title was inspired by a comment left by Blegoo about a year ago.

In restul lumii, 1 Iunie inseamna ziua copilului. Aici in Toronto, anul acesta 1 Iunie marcheaza niste evenimente mai importante decat in alti ani, cum ar fi noi reguli pentru trecerea frontierei in USA si deschidera adoptiilor.

Hotnews has previously interviewed Romanian diaspora people, which we covered, and we have also been profiling others in the diaspora ourselves. This interview is somewhat new in that the interviewee is "returned" - and we expect to be many more like him in the coming years.

Dupa cum am mai lasat sa se intrevada pe acest blog, sunt inglodat intr-un proces cam din 2003-2004. Tot atunci Attorney General in Ontario a fost numit cel mai tanar avocat sa fi fost vreodata in aceasta pozitie, si anume, Michael Bryant. Acest om a ucis ieri un biciclist.

Cum probabil se stie, mancarea este mult mai ieftina in America de Nord (ca si benzina sau casele) decat in restul lumii. Azi am fost pe la Costco si m-am gandit sa v-arat ce-am luat.

It’s been a while since we haven’t talked about poverty in Romania and solutions. A recent “debate” caused by an over-the-top article on not giving money to the poor gives us a chance to look at it again and also address our reticence with BDSM practices.

My resolve to stop speaking about the difference between Roma / Gypsies and Romanians was recently shaken by an Irish couple, one of whom had a Roma sister adopted from Romania.

Ion Tiriac, the richest former athlete in the world, had some choice words to say about the protest actions and as a result he is pilloried in the press. I can’t help feeling that he’s repeating what I’ve been saying.

The results of the latest PISA testing have come out. Will I manage to write about the educational styles in Canada (which is 4th, tied with Finland, after Singapore, Japan and Estonia) and Romania (48th out of 70)?

As I’ve been getting closer to a long-planned trip to Europe, I had to face the prospect of more hostility and less-than-enlightened assumptions related to my ancestry. I am quite tired of going through that and have been preparing to start answering the question “where are you from” with “Dacia” – and will be doing so starting tomorrow. With this article, I will answer the follow-up “isn’t Dacia a car?” or “what is that?” or “where is that?” with “look it up!”

Mercurul e unul din subektele carora demult vreau sa le inchin un articol, nu neaparat pe acest blog. Si cum s-a brodit sa zica un blog pe care-l mai citesc din cand in cand ceva in tema, am zis sa-i dau rapid cu cateva idei.
