About Me
- Name: Karla
- Location: Canada
I came to Romania straight out of university as an intern working with intercultural education. After extending my contract twice, I realised how much I love my newly adopted country and decided to stay as long as I could. "As long as I could" turned into 361 days. I am now back in Canada, but am hoping to revive this blog to coincide with my new job.

Pay a visit to a stationary store in your town or the store that sells fabric. You can usually find a type of netting that is used to make bridal veils. It's not that expensive, and makes a decent net to keep the buzzing vampires off at night. If your windows don't have screens, you can also use this with some thumb tacks to make window screens.
That's a really good idea! I didn't think of that!
Thanks!
for some reason, i can't get this level of detail for Sibiu. what's the deal? google thinks Timisoara is cooler than Sibiu? pfft! ;)
I found the link from Wikipedia. I checked the Sibiu site but nothing.
So yes, this proves that we are indeed cooler than Sibiu.
After all, I live here!
Don't feel bad...Google hates Moldova and Transdniestr too.
Google may hate those places, but it is in MAD love with Fredericton, I think they are having a steamy love affair as we speak. Just so you know.
