Words of a Broken Mirror: I’m a survivor! :)

What kept me away was a damned food poisoning (with a little help form my work…). So now I am back! With news, or sort of:

1. Sandwiches in my school are not safe to eat! Take me for example. George disagrees, saying it’s a question of each person’s metabolism, but I disagree! I also eat in student/employees cafeterias quite often and this is a first! The result – I reduced Coca-Cola quantities per day, I started eating healthier food and I am taking better care of me.

2. I love scholar.google.com! It is a great search engine, beta version still, and I also love the fact that my gmail account gave me free access to some e-books! Who ever thought an email account will actually help that much??? Definitely not me! I have some 8 Mb of reading to do in about two days (or so I hope…).

3. Not funny...Shirazi asked me to post something about the earthquake in Pakistan…As I had no real time for it, I will stick to just asking you people to visit his site for more information. Will be back with more on this issue! Sorry Shi, am trying my best…See here, here, here and here.

4. Not funny either…The night before the food poisoning incident happen (or was it the night before?) I was going to K’s and got off the subway train in the Constantin Brancoveanu station. As I was getting closer to the stairs that took you outside the station, I saw this old man on the floor. He had blood on his forehead and on his eyes. I looked at his hand, he wasn’t moving. There were people around him and one young man had called the Ambulance. Although I was pretty shocked with the fact that he wasn’t moving, couldn’t help noticing that the phone call was taking to long. The Ambulance employee kept asking for more details! And that man was not moving! I imagine they get a lot of silly jokes each day, but still…

5. City Mall, the third mall in Bucharest was opened this Saturday. There is an Altex Megastore (they sell fridges, TV sets and stuff like that and also have a monthly payment program) at the fist floor of this mall. They had had pretty aggressive ads on all the radio stations and they had announced discounts. So at 9.30 AM, half hour before the launch, there was a huge crowd of people waiting to get in. Lots of policemen as well, yet when it was opened, they still had problems handling the crowd. They let them enter in small groups but still, after about an hour, Altex closed the store for a short while as they couldn’t handle so many people at a time.

One hour and a half later, there still was a crowd at the doors…And the mall was still pretty crowded on Sunday. I don’t know exactly how, as parking places are a huge problem for them. Other than that, I like this mall best…It is not the largest, yet it is the prettiest.

That’s about it for now. Will be back with more details in the near future.
