Craiova

This week-end we desided to go to Craiova, which is the biggest city in Dolj county where we live and has about 300,000 inhibitants. Almost all the volonters from our program was able to go (but only 10 out of 26 has arrived to Romania so far...) Some volonters from another EVS project are living in appartments i Craiova, among others Mikaella and Marcello who we got to know during or training in Musatesti, so we went to visit them. Marion and I arrived early in the day, because we had no plans for the day in Dabuleni so Marcello and a guy named André showed us the city. We visited the university and the main square, walked through a park and we went to a very nice café named Da Vinci to drink some cappuccino.

The park.
Mikaella thought it might have been the one they call "the enlish park",
 because of all the roses, but I am not sure.

The prefecture of Craiova.
Marcello said that he had heard that this is the nicest one in Romania,
but he also said that he didn't really believe that.

This fountain was really nice and located in the roundabout next to the appartment where we were staying.

This is the welcoming you get when you enter the appartment where Marcello lives.
The owner doesn't really like what they did to Jesus...




At the night when everybody had arrived we had dinner togheter. It was a really nice dinner, the italians made a very good pasta and some home made meatballs, Mikaela (who also is from sweden) made skagenr¨ora. We bought some cheap bear and later at night we went to a bar, I think we got back about 5-6 in the morning... The taxi only cost 7 lei, which is less than 2 euro!
