Holiday is about to start

After a long year we finally have a hot summer and what better than getting ready for a holiday.
I don't know how is it for you but for me is all about time spent with family and closer to the sea, with a nice sandy beach.
I am thankful to new technology, in this way I can keep in touch with my friends.  Some are heading to the beautiful Paris, some have returned from the sunny Italy, and some are going to Malta.
I am looking for the mornings when my children are still in bed and I can sneak out from my in-laws  house in Normandy, and start running for half an hour.  It is that half an hour which helps you revitalize your body, giving you the energy that you thought that is well forgotten.
After a week of running you feel ready to go to the sea and ready for long nights with children full of energy and no willingness to go to bed.
The running will have to continue if you are to maintain your level of energy.
I am counting the days and I hope that you are also waiting for your holidays to start or, if you are lucky,  you might have already started yours.
All is to be added is not to forget your e-book and enjoy the Sun!!!        July2013

New Government in Romania

The new government just instated has started to show its first weaknesses.
A minister of education that has been accused of plagiarism and, most recent, a foreign affairs minister allegedly  linked to the Russian president.
All these will come to raise  few questions about how credible can be this government?
In the eyes of the western world this must be a deja-vu .  However we have to recognise that changes have taken place and that Roumania has developed and continues to develop, with more companies investing in the country.
Big names such as Ford, Renault, IBM, are just some of the few companies that have invested millions.

What disappoints is that the country remains very corrupt, a country were doctors are asking for money from their patients.  Maybe they should be reminded that in the civilised world doctors are doing their duty and looking after their patients is the main reason why they have chosen to become doctors, saving lives without having to ask for money in return. Or maybe Roumania wishes not to join the civilised world. The solution is simple, the government has to pay the doctors decent wages.

As in the majority of Latin countries the corruption seem to remain epidemic and only a new generation might change these old habits.

I will finish by saying lets give a chance to this government and lets hope that everything is gong to be all right.

Economical unrest will lead to political unrest

The uncertitude in the financial world will lead to a very unstable world in the months to come. It started in Grece and will extend to countries like Italy, Spain and slowly countries from Eastern Europe will foll into this pattern. We are waiting for the politicians to take the right decisions and lead this world towards financial prosperity and further development. In this days when unemployment is raising and youngsters are not able to find a job, globalisation has reached a stand still. We were all counting on this Universal job market, flexible and open to opportunity. We are waiting for for the green light at the end of the tunnel after a long recession, when young people will be happy to take the decision to go to University without having to worry about the future. How long are we having to wait for the right things to happen?
