Adopt Monet the ca(in)ter

ADOPTED - June 2012

Monet is my new 3 months old tiger looking for a home.

He's been found up on top of a tree crying his lungs out for somebody to get him down from there. How he got up there if he's so small? Well Monet is not your ordinary cat. He's a naturally born jumper/ climber/ alpinist. Sometimes he is more like a dog than a cat. He runs around the house like a cat on ecstasy and makes sure he gets in places before us. Once there, he drops on his back with his tummy up to make sure you give him a tickle.

He is an adorable baby who needs love and somebody to play with. He would be the ideal cat if you already have a cat :)

City of Craiova

Last Friday I woke up with a sudden urge to go somewhere during the weekend. That's how the idea of visiting Craiova came up. It wasn't really as random as it may sound...but with was good serendipity.

Craiova was a surprise for me. I went there years ago for a translation job at Ford, but didn't actually visit it, so this can be considered my first time. A city full of linden trees, so you can imagine the smell surrounding you in most areas. A beautiful park and a newly renovated city center. It is not promoted as a touristic city at all, but it could be a good place to live in. Pretty quite, easy to get from one point to another, perfect place to have a bike and use it everyday, you have bars, clubs (not the best ever, but could be improved) and parks to go to.

Romania's smaller cities are poorly developed from the labour market's point of view and that's such a pity because these places could be a good place to enjoy life.
