what happened lately

have found a little journal called Expat Life - I'm told it's read in pubs, hotels' lobbies etc. quote: "When asked what I thought about Romania, I used to reply that Romania is a country full of stupid people. Then quickly add that England is also a country full of stupid people. The difference being that in England the stupid people clean the streets, in Romania they run major companies and they are your government. Obviously this was unfair but it usually got a laugh."

It is interesting to see Romanians through expats' eyes. I have also met Thomas, who does a similar job with mine at pressreview, only he is English and works for The Budapest Sun. I have to prepare some tests for my philosophy of language exam tomorrow now (not sure this is good English :-).
