Another virginity loss

.. tag virginity, that is -and Raluca is to be blamed for it .

3 places I love here:

  • the Catholic cathedral. A mix of Gothic and Romanic, many times burned down and then rebuilt, it’s where me and Robi married.PA281751a
  • the part of the citadel where this medieval window still can be seen even if the house sunk in the ground enough to render it non-functional . PA281765a
  • this quiet old street near my workplace, where one of the biggest collection of manuscripts and papiruses from this part of Europe is located. PA281763a

3 places I hate here:

  • the industrial zone. Dust, cars and ugly buildings.
  • the “Tiganime” - the only neighborhood where I wouldn’t dare go after 8PM.Basically, our very own ghetto.
  • the “Ampoi” neighborhoods (there are 3 of them) - home of the most manele admirers / square kilometer

3 places where I like to go with my friends:

  • our one and only chinese restaurant, called Zhong Yi . Good food, huge portions, reasonable prices
  • Pizzeria Nettuno -recently discovered, home of the best pizza in town (and we have LOTS of pizzerias, trust me)
  • The Steak House - when we roll in cash and feel hungry for Meat with a capital M.

3 things an outsider wouldn’t understand about my town:

  • the local dialect. Older peasants from around the town still speak it, younger people ocasionally indulge in slipping into it.
  • our fondness for the local bread and local telemea, to which no other bread or cheese can compare.
  • why the gates of our citadel still aren’t renovated, 8 years after the start of the restauration.

The fanciest neighborhood - definetely the plethora of villas that appeared just under one of our beloved hills, the Mammoth.

The ugliest neighborhood - Tiganime. You don’t want to see it, trust me.

If you know what to google, you’ll find out the name of my town easily. Good luck ;)
