Sibiu, Romania

This was my first experience of snowing. I am very excited.
Nevertheless, my trip was totally jeopardized by snowing. It snowed from the night I arrived to the day I left. It was a little bit annoying.
There was no Wifi in Siiu train station and it was pretty cold inside the station. The fare was too expensive. I should take a bus instead of train. :(

I like Sibiu, a cultural and historical town.

I planned to join free city walking tour at 11am but I waited at a wrong place. Therefore I just walked around the city according to the map. Since the weather was getting cold, the old town was not vibrant as during summer.

I stayed at Yuyan’s home. She is an Indonesia doctor who studies in Romania. Her plan is really smart: studying in a cheap European country (Romania) and works in an expensive European country (United Kingdom). It is really a genius way to get a license to work in Europe. 

Yuyan’s landlady is a smart cook. She is 70 years old. However she just got her lawyer qualification a few years ago. Now she gives her free solicitation service to the poor. She is a retired teacher. After she retired, she involved in community service actively. Now, she has become a solicitor and fight for the right of the poor.

Train from Gorna Oryahovitsa to Bucuresti


I took the 0045 train without buying ticket (26 Lev)  in advance. The international office was closed. I could only buy a ticket to Ruse. Nevertheless, we were allowed to pay to Romania train officer on train. The officer didn’t give me the ticket but took some money from me. She confirmed that there would not be ticket checking.
Although there was so sleeper class, I still feel quite comfortable since there were only a few passengers. Two Chiles and I occupied one cabin. Heater service was efficiency
Everything was on the right way.

Good Bye Bulgaria

I have stayed in Bulgaria for three weeks. It is an amazing country. It may the cheapest country in Europe. You can enjoy your life here.
I went to a bar. The first hour was amazing. Traditional music was played and I only took a free drink.  When the night was getting late, rock music was played. I felt tire to stand for one hour so leaving the bar

I bought a new shoes for winter

First Snow in Trinity Rock Farm
I felt a little bit sad to leave Trinity Rock Farm. I informed Edward that I was leaving. He was 72 years old and I almost cry when he expressed no interest in life. He was waiting to leave the world. I hoped he can be surrounded by his family soon. May God bless you, Edward.
