Was time it seems to get Ilinca “upgraded” from a tricycle — and she got the hang of it pretty soon:

Product Idea — Multi-homed Credit Card
This one is for you, Visa (though MasterCard and Amex listen up too!). Here’s the deal: I have Visa debit and credit cards for both UK and USA. I have bank accounts in UK and USA so I can transfer money when needed from one to another. With all of that in mind, you’d think […]
“Proper” Rugby Ball
As you probably know from my previous posts, I keep a (rather hopeful) eye on the evolution of Romanian Rugby. And after a couple of years of looking around, I got this awesome present (thanks, sis!) — an official Romanian Rugby Federation, matchday ball: All I have to do no is to put my name […]
Exhibition artisticlab.org in Bucharest
On Tuesday, 22nd of May 2012, artisticlab had an exhibition in Bucharest. Unfortunately, being in California and all that, I wasn’t there for the live event, but I am lucky enough to be the receiver of some of the photos taken at launch. As to be expected, this was very well received by the public, […]

With My Niece in a Supermarket
This was taken in Constanta, Romania — went shopping and my niece wanted to go for a “ride” on one of the animals the supermarket had in the kids section. She didn’t want a dinosaur, or a lion, or a horse — nope! She wanted a pig! More specifically: Pippa Pig, according to her 🙂
Eastern Europe to the Untrained (Read “Ignorant”) Eye
This morning on the way to Heathrow I couldn’t help overhearing a conversation going on in between 2 (what they thought they were) “proper Londoners” about the “invasion of Eastern Europe”. It went upon the lines of how these bloody Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Romanian came and took over London and that’s not right. Coincidentally, […]
