The first days...

and here we are...in the middle of the world, among all nationalities and races, eating every kind of food possible and living the dream.

As i was wondering around and some guy heard me speaking Romanian and asked me for directions..in London:)) And i am so proud to announce that i was able to help him in my first day here!!!

Also i experienced my first true London rain ..of course without an umbrella or a raincoat and it was great. I stayed in the street for 15 minutes just enjoying it. The sneezing and throat ache that came afterwards were totally worth it.

Everyone is different but somehow they all seem to belong here..no one cares about outfits, makeup or the weather:))) i've heard possibly every language spoken on the street and i love it!!!

Finding a place is awful,,,it's like applying for a job...you need bank statements, a UK guarantor or 6 months in advance, references from previous landlords, etc. it's an entire screening process... Also, most of them don't want students only professionals..we've been looking for 5 days and we are absolutely exhausted but hopefully tommorow we will receive the positive answer from one of the 2 places we made an offer on and by thursday we will be moved in already:) wish us luck!!!!

It's the final countdown...the last minutes before departure...the goodbyes have been said...but of course the plane is delayed due to heavy traffic...bummer:( it's hot, i am thristy and a stressful baby is crying somewhere in the back...things could not be better..this is Romania..where everything can happen.and guess what?it usually does.

First step: packing for London

It's the start of a new adventure...the beginning of a new beginning...2 more days in Romania filled with packing and cleaning up. It's so hard to pack your life in a suitcase that needs to be under 32 kg. Only my dreams and hopes weigh more than that....I threw away so many memories, so many things that i collected over the years..it's hard to let go. I have no regret about leaving because there is nothing holding me back. There is no place for me here and i simply did not fit in...because i belong to the world:) Seriously, i feel as though i could just drift away into the world and never look back...

My suitcases are heavy and i feel i packed almost nothing...but as i start to wonder maybe i don't even need all that...these are only material things, things we could live without. In the end i only need my heart and my mind wrapped with my hopes and dreams. Now back to packing:)
