back to romania
It is soooo good to be back home especially when you feel it's been a long time since you last spent time with the family. Food, drinks, fun, nice people will also be always associated with home.
Now, Anand and I enjoy being in Romania! It is ALL ABOUT THE FOOD AND THE PEOPLE :)
So far, it's been great being home... I will post the pictures in my blog soon.
Until then, read this funny letter I just received in my mailbox
"Dear All,I wanted to send you a holiday greeting. Then I realized that, starting2007 after Romania's integration to EU, new rules and regulations apply. Moreover, we will be part of the European community of people. Because it is so difficult in today's world to know exactly what to saywithout offending someone, I met with my attorney, and on his advice I wish to say the following:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress,non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday,practiced with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion orsecular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secularpersuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscallysuccessful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognitionof the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not withoutdue respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whosecontributions to society have helped make Europe great (not to imply thatEU is necessarily greater than any other country/union) and without regardto the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference.By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freelytransferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes forher/himself or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocableat the sole discretion of the wisher.
This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of oneyear or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichevercomes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, asignificant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced in order to present you this great Christmas Tree!"

Great writing as always. It's always warming to go back to a familiar environment, especially when there is great food and good people involved. Learning about Romania has really pushed me to visit someday. For now, I guess I will live through yours and Anand's photographs. Happy New Year and best wishes!
