We have been staying with Alex and Carol at their 100% British Bed &amp; Breakfast close to Pite&#351;ti. Thanks to Alex who was picking us up at a gas station we finally found this treasure in Romania. Alex and Carol are wonderful hosts and they provided us w&#305;ll all the warm comfort we needed after such a long journey. (Alex was even calling the evening before, because I mixed one day). <br><br>The road to the ...

... to go to Romania, Romania chose me. She has about two more years of high school and I think I will see her someday through AIESEC. Cool.<br><br>I am really sad that this is over. I learned a lot about myself and about young teenagers. They are not so much different than teenagers in California. They struggle with the same problems and go through the same phases. I was sad to take our last photos, last AIESEC dances, and last hugs and kisses&#8230;<br><br>=((((((((

... Pitesti called Jupiter City. It was down the whole length of the mall. Each country had its own table and decorations. It was unbelievable. The students went full out with their country.<br><br>Representing USA<br><br>When I went to Romania, I knew I was going to be a part of the Global Village, so I didn't think too much of it. I brought some pins that said 'I love USA&#8217; or "All American Girl&#8217;, peanut butter and jelly, a baseball hat, and a Rolling Stones ...

... br>I told my roommate to go up first and take a shower because if I don't write this blog, I will forget. <br><br>My roommates and I are going to a Chaineria and celebrating with cocktails and dessert! <br><br>The last thing we have for our summer school is Global Village and the closing ceremony.<br><br>Okay, Bye! <br><br>Time for hot shower! whooooo<br><br>From Romania with hot water,<br><br>Queeny Lu<br>

At the swimming pool there are three big pools. This is where people go to swim. Of course. They don't have pools in their backyard like in America. The locations of this place is in between a mall and the near the center of the city. (Kind of. I don't really know where I am walking. I just follow my roommates.) Anyway, on one side you can see a really big sign of the mall, Euromall, and the other side you can see four buildings. The only ...

6th June<br><br>Timisoara to Craiova<br><br>Sunny 29 degrees<br><br>Today's drive was very long as it seems that Romania is fixing all its roads. Consequently the expected five hour drive turned into seven as we negotiated roadworks for most of the 300 kilometres. We did pass through some interesting towns and past small farms where the locals were out in the fields with their hoes or building tall ...

... of our best dinners in Romania here... at El Greco. Tomorrow we will be heading towards Belgrade by driving north to Drobeta-Turnu Severin and Baile Herculane in order to avoid going thorough Bulgaria's northern tip, which we heard can be quite a challenge. We are hoping for better weather so that we can see the Danube Canyon in full force.

... the Communist-era buildings look like they're actually made of sturdy materials and won't collapse into dust if someone accidentally runs a truck into them. In a country full of decaying concrete structures, that's saying a lot. While there isn't any true old core left on a significant scale here, there are still streets full of attractive old homes and gorgeous mansions. Many fine, historic villas from the 19th and early 20th centuries still dot the ...

... the community. We saw wells which have been dug, the schools which have been renovated, and play structures which have been built. It is great because although WV helps provide the funding, the communities must do the work themselves. Thank you to everyone who donated money or articles for these children. Everything has been gratefully received, and it was definitely worth it to see the looks of joy on these kids faces!
