Heading back home and not a bit too soon. Having spent almost 4 and 1/2 months in the city of Bucharest, I’ve seen what needs to be seen. And like it or not-its a run down city.
It has potential-as does the whole country of Romania, but its not being executed.
Made a foray to the old city last night-was quite happy to see that they had finished the construction on the streets-and put in some new clubs. All of my old haunts still seemed to be there however.
Long weekend for me this weekend-as my government induced furlough kicks in. I have to admit-I was more than a little pissed when I heard Obama’s pledge to give 7 billion to Africa. 7 Billion? But we can’t afford to pay our own employees? Fuck that. Spend 7 billion on Americans and tell the Africans to get off their asses and fix themselves. You wanted independence so damn bad-well now you get to live with the consequences. Most of the “nations” of Africa should still be part of their respective European empires in my humble opinion.
AND ON THAT NOTE-its time to board the plane.
