While writing about Jihadi Jay Abdo, I had started writing about foreigners who study in Romania and half-way through I realized that this deserves a separate article. I had previously assumed (nature) that the Romanian prime-minister’s (Ponta) many scandals, some centered around his plagiarizing of his doctoral thesis will taint Romanian education and significantly decrease its appeal. Further investigation revealed that many are still interested, although it is hard to determine to what extent the scandals have caused the Romanian tuition fees to be the lowest in Europe, or that is due to other market forces. As usual, the links are listed at the end.

Romania este discutata de un Profesor canadian care scrie o carte despre regiune. Omul stie ce vorbeste, dar vorbeste in engleza.

Azi la BNR un Isa-Rescue depui, maine el va .. inMuguri? Continuam balada lui Mugur, dupa ce in episodul anterior ne-am uitat la declaratiile de avere.

Quite a few people are (or were back in September, but it takes a while for local news to cross the Atlantic) appalled that Alexandru Arsinel, an aging and beloved Romanian actor, has supposedly bribed doctors (or used his fame) to jump the queue for a new kidney. But isn’t the outrage itself somewhat outrageous?

Joia trecuta un francez a luat premiul Nobel pentru literatura. Asta a amintit americanilor ca exista cultura si in afara anglosferei, si uite-asa a aparut o lista de sugestii de scriitori straini.

Recently, a new candidate for Romanian presidency, Alexandru Cumpanasu, has finally undergone more media scrutiny after having had to make some candidacy-related disclosures. We look into some of the claims made by this individual (whom we strongly dislike) and track down the most likely “university” he is attending, linked below in sources.

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.

@JihadAbdo is an L.A.-based actor with more than 43 films, tons of TV series and lots of plays in four languages. One of those languages is Romanian.

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!”

Mentionam in RSC, punctualitatea romaneasca si Oblio concertul RSC de iarna, care intre timp a avut loc pe 14 Decembrie. Am navigat printre colinde, partituri si recitaluri pentru a face un mic colaj de simtire, incluzand atat video clipuri youtube, cat si poze.

Tocmai a fost dat publicitatii un studiu facut pe orfanii din Romania. Vad ca nimeni n-as scris despre asta, asa ca ma grabesc s-o fac eu.

A while back I had an overseas guest misbehaving. I had invited her for a longer stay in Canada but it turned out she had difficulties living without regular fights. I offered to make a reservation at a hostel and cover her costs at a hostel for the rest of her stay but she refused and I was eventually bribed to give in due to my membership affiliation.

Am avut un week-end destul de plin, si ca de obicei, mi-au iesit numai 30% din chestiile pe care mi le-am dorit.

Citeam recent in buda despre o emisiune, momentu' adevarului, descrisa de Buddha. Si nu mi-au placut concluziile si interpretarile lui. Si-n loc sa-i bag un comment, care-ar fi fost foarte lung, m-am gandit ca mai bine scriu un articol in tema.

I have, in the past, dedicated ample space and time to the Romanian elections. Lately, I’m starting to get a feeling of futility. It’s a widespread disease.

Cineva s-a gandit sa-mi trimita o poza la un concurs, chestie care-mi pare amuzanta, fiindca astfel de concursuri nu sunt de obicei castigate de pozele bune ci de hackerii care stiu sa fure voturi. Ca si alegerile irt (din viata reala) de altfel.

Cum ziceam in 10 intamplari, Vineri am fost la vizionarea unei selectii de filme romanesti facute de studenti UNATC ca proiecte de graduare. Multe au fost premiate la diverse festivaluri, si dupa vizionare am avut un Q&A cu profesori de film de la York University.

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.

"O femeie" ridica niste probleme foarte interesante ca raspuns in articolul precedent din serie, motiv pentru care ma vad nevoit sa le raspund. Si cum raspunsul meu este cel putin la fel de lung pe cat comentariul dumneaei, il pun intr-un articol.
