Winter is almost here… October 19, 2009

The summer was busy and autumn even more. In different ways though, first one traveling, the second working. Iin the middle of the economic crisis you would think there should be more free time for a small entrepreneur.

After one month in Italy and one in Belgium, some trips to Germany and France, we got homesick and came back to Romania. It was interesting to leave Brussels in autumn (end of August) and arrive home in the middle of the summer…it felt like 2009 had two summers. Now it changed, it has been raining for about a week…a bit too British for my corner of the town.

It’s unbelievable how with all the crisis in the newspapers, there is no crisis in the online industry and I am sure it will be like this until January which is a bit silent and then in mid Feb it will start all over again…which makes me think about taking a small break again before the December work peak. The projects’ number will increase in December, when everyone wants to finish before Christmas and of course they will outsource almost everything to have all stuff finished before New Year’s:)

We have already planned some big breaks: the New Year’s party (hopefully for not more people than the last one) and our wedding party (I won’t brag about it, but I had to mention it). I still have to think about a short non-active break someplace nice for this winter and see what discounts I could get for an early booking for a July tour to Scandinavia…though sometimes “last minutes” are cheaper and cooler than early bookings – this July, Swissair had last minute return plane tickets from Zurich to Tokyo at around 300 euro. How cool is that? But I decided I want to see some parts of Romania first, then Scandinavia before Asia. Unfortunately there is no serious and complete website about what’s there to see in Romania. I had a talk with a friend who has traveled a lot in Romania and surprisingly it seems that the ones who know the beautiful places around here, don’t want others to know about them…maybe I will make the website after discovering the parts I haven’t seen yet…
