This week-end can only be summariced with a picture of Britta's pizza - the vegetarian pizza with french fries
This friday I went to visit Diana and Anna who lives in a community called Segarcea, this day they also got a new room mate: Praise from Uganda (who is 24, has about 40 siblings, is very nice and has never eaten with a knife before) The aftenoon started with a mission - to find some sand for the "cat box", the girls have adopted a kittenfrom the street! After visiting their appartment, which is very nice for romanian standard ( exept for the fact that there is no wather at all after 10...), we went to eat some pizza. It took forever to get the food, and in this community the girls were not allowed to drink alcohol in public, so we eat bread and played some games while we waited.. The pizza was ok, exept for the fact that there was ketchup on it instead of tomato souce.. And yeah, the vegitarian pizza contained french fries.
The mentor in Segarcea is very funny and eager to find new friends for the volunteers there, so she invited some local teenagers to a party in the appartmant, and also her son who is 14... We drank bear (even the 14 year old boy, togheter with his mum) and played card games until about 12 o'clock. Then the romainian people left, but a friend of the voluteers in Segarcea named Davideo came to visit and after a while we decided to go to a bar in Craiova. We called for a ride and went to "Pubb's Pub", the same bar as we went to last week, it is very nice and the cocktails only cost 30 kr. We stayed until about 3.30 (we also drove to another community to drop of some other volunteers who lived there). The next day we spent eating the pizza we had brought home from the restaurant and uddling with the cat. I had to go home because Marion and was invited to a party in our community; our mentor's god father was having an opening party for his new revonated club. We went there after 11 o'clock (after a power-nap) and stayed for some hours, drinking bear and dancing. We feelt a little bit uncomfterable thought, because we did not know so many people exept for our mentor and we did not know the music... Thank god for bear! I have also noticed that Lykke Lii's song "follow rivers" is a big hit in Romania, they play it all the time on the romanian RIX FM.
Today we got up early to go to the church. The ortodox religion is very passionated, the survice was interesting but a bit strange to watch. The priest gave us the evil eye when we didn't go down on our knees to be blessed, maybe we are cursed now... Tonight I have the casa for myself because Marion is in Craiova, so I am going to just watch a movie and relax, either the romanian movie "4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days", "black cat white cat" or "the elephant man", we'll see :)
Also we got the bad news that the heating system in Mustatesti has broken, so we have to extend our two weeks in Dabuleni with another week. This means that we have to change the date for the Halloween Party since we are going to be on trainings on the fourth.. Our mentor is going to Hugary this week so we can't really do anything in our community, which means we'll have some time to travel around in the area and visit the other volunteers. It'll be good. Pa pa!
