In a recently published article on Euronews (en-roadfat), Alice Tidey asks the question where in Europe are roads deadliest; the answer is posted even before the question: Romania. We decipher a recent “ProTV News” news segment (spt-victime) where Titi Aur, a “defensive driving instructor”, reveals a deeply seated murderous misunderstanding in terms of the rules of the road, a misunderstanding that he shares.

Un articol din SciAm ne spune ca bacteriile care ne colonizeaza influenteaza dezvoltarea creieirului si personalitatea. Sa fie oare asta explicatia mamaligii care nu explodeaza si a fricii romanilor de a calatori?

Anumite discutii din ultima vreme, vremea de rahat de-afara, certuri cu un prieten, si-alte alea m-au cufundat intr-o stare cam proasta. Dac-as fi pictor, s-ar chema "perioada albastra".

I have been staying away from the news of the moment, but this recent tragedy hits extremely close to home, whichever way a member of the Toronto Romanian diaspora (including myself) chooses to define that notion.

Ce, credeai ca obtinerea unui pasaport romanesc in Canada poate fi povestita intr-un singur articol (primul despre pasaportul romanesc)? Nici pomeneala! Aici afli ce s-a intamplat mai pi larg.

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.

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.

Rusia este gluma care nu inceteaza sa ma amuze. Probabil ca daca as vizita-o, ei n-ar inceta sa ma ucida. In orice caz, este preferabil sa mori de ras decat de radiatii sau Kalashnikov (AK-47).

…si nu toti cei de pe asistenta sociala sunt milogi. Dupa ce am relatat ca IHT s-a uitat la o familie de romani din Spania (stirea 4 din 10), iata ca si NYT, simbolul presei libere ucigatoare de copaci, descrie cazul unui cuplu de romani in varsta care au preferat sa faca foame decat s-ajunga pe welfare. Este greu de zis daca o duc sau nu mai bine in New York decat oriunde altundeva in Romania.

I pity the politicians who want to do something good. They can’t clickbait their laws. For instance, the measure to tax sugary stuff can and should be called an anti-aging tax or, in Romanian, “contributia pentru o tinerete fara batranete si-o veatza fara de moarte”.

A recent “viral” video clip shows the Romanian president, Klaus Iohannis, moving the Union Jack (the UK flag), out of the way as he talks to reporters. This act of “elimination” is probably the least interesting of the ones discussed herein.

Reportaj inimos din inima Transilvaniei despre efectul unei noi legi care interzice accesul carutelor cu cai pe arterele principale. Multi oameni vor muri de foame spun satenii din Arieseni. Sunt 750000 de carute inregistrate in Romania, si ele sunt responsabile pentru 10% din accidentele rutiere.

Intrucat taman mi-a sosit cartea ei comandata de pe Amazon, m-am gandit c-a venit momentul episodului II. In primul rand, despre cum am comandat cartea pentru un total de CDN $9.72, platiti cu cartea de credit.

Ultima parte din "instalatia de PiaR", dupa logo, fronda frunzei si moneda, in acest canicular mijloc de vara se refera la indarjirea demagogica de care Sarko s-a gandit c-ar fi electoral indicat sa dea dovada, si modul oarecum nesabuit dar totodata adorabil in care Base pune paie pe focul xenofob.

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.

I recently discovered a new and interesting blog. I'll present an enlightening article.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen this year and, as the poster suggests, it is quite “pulpy”.

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.

Astazi incepe Festivalul International al Filmului din Toronto si eu inca n-am apucat sa decid ce filme vreau sa vad. Dar, in traditia expertilor de internet, va voi spune ce filme vor altii sa vada.

I keep talking about Sweden, but I don't think I've ever shared my personal memories. Time to do so.
