The Parthenon of Books - one of my favourite places in Kassel and perhaps the place I'll rather be than anywhere else. It's a majestic art work, a courageous project and the people's project. Because the banned books, the books from persecuted writers worldwide are donated by the us, because <i>"we (all) are the people"</i>. 100.000 books are expected and there is still a way to go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Except of having ice cream sitting on the stairs beside the books, today I did submit my contribution to this art work: Franz Kafka's Erzählungen. Kafka's books were banned during the National Socialism in Germany but also during the communist Czech Republic, although he had never directly criticized the political system or referred to real life situations. Nonetheless his works were described as "harmful and undesirable".</div>

When you enter the dome a relaxing silence welcomes you. Music coming from the top of the dome puts you in a dreaming, relaxed, meditative mode. Sounds you make are being heard very clear, though not very loud, but still a little unusual. It's best to sit there, when there are not so many people around (what could be hard during <i>documenta</i>, but I managed), even though it is fun to look on people's reactions :)<br />

At the same time it's telling a story itself: it opened in 1968, the year of documenta4 (the last documenta of inventor Arnold Bode) connecting the city to the region.

Three days before the official start of documenta14, the press was allowed to have a first exploratory walk through some of the exhibits. One of Germany's most important newspaper, "Die Zeit", called their article "The wonder of Kassel" (<a href="http://www.zeit.de/2017/24/documenta-kassel-kunstausstellung-kulturhauptstadt" target="_blank">Das Wunder von Kassel</a>). Beautiful words about a city nobody really talks about for 4 years. And then documenta happens and the whole world gathers in the heart of Germany for 100 days.<br />
The video below is nicely introducing the Parthenon of Books. Have a look:<br />

<br />
I, the public, am still paciently waiting. I feel like a dog in a cage... I can see things are happening, things being build, but I don't know what it is and I can't reach to them... nobody knows, nobody can (except the press).<br />
Meanwhile the garden in front ot the Campus Center is growing, getting greener and artistic.<br />
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it tadam tam tam ;)<br />

Look at this place...this place is right in front of my office building. So, before you get tired getting up those many stairs to my office, stop by here. You're definitely gonna find me there and at the same time you'll learn about food production and independent gardening initiatives from the region of Northern Hessen. A documenta14 garden! This is so much better than expected.</div>

has been a year of important life events, of decisions and change, a year of learning and discoveries and it has been a good year!<br />
<br />
<b>I learned a new sport. </b>That's how I started my year, on a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/sets/72157639056598486/" target="_blank">ski slope in central Austria</a>, one of my favorite places. I liked skiing from the first moment. I still like it very much. I decided to spend my birthday skiing. It's been a wonderful 30th birthday in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/11562919186/" target="_blank">Winterberg</a> with dear friends, snow, lots of joy and lots of dutch people.<br />
<br />
<i>Entre estos dos viajes de esquí, tuve la oportunidad de<b> aprender español</b> en la Universidad Politécnica de <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/sets/72157639036615695/" target="_blank">Valencia</a>.</i> It was a quick and one of the best decisions of this year. Being in Valencia for one week I learned the language good enough to enable me to order in the restaurant and in the store, to understand news on TV and to talk to the taxi driver. The fact that the taxi driver repeated everything I said, exactly the way I said it, showed me that I was right. When you learn a foreign language, it's never only about words and grammar, it's also about understanding the way people from other countries think, how they behave, what they eat and why they have certain eating behavior. That's why we also had the opportunity to take a cooking class in tapas, which I afterwards practiced in Kassel with my Phase 10 group ;) And I also learned that many Spanish people have a very strong opinion that German people <i>solo trabajan - no fiesta, no siesta</i>.<br />
<br />
Valencia was also one of the 7 new cities I visited this year. Another one on this list was Murau (well, it is a little premature to say that, but I'm gonna go there today, and it still is 2013 ;)), Bratislava, Istanbul, Izmir, Nazilli and Didim. These added to my list make exactly <b>65 cities I've visited in my entire life</b>, without cities in Romania, but including German cities.<br />
<br />
The <b>visit to Bratislava</b> brought a also new country on my list of new visited countries, the 16th. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinAgpoI6L_WU7Q1C3_8QSRMHVuu7u6QgJSSa6KFF0g1f6j5ZuQyKgqrjPVJ0U9l7yb35Zx_wInzBSOb8iL3LC3pApf64UDLhqZtbwA9O0Jn2TfD58liulzeTZOkuSwYMSYAK2bofNr4TVU/s640/blogger-image-794832627.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinAgpoI6L_WU7Q1C3_8QSRMHVuu7u6QgJSSa6KFF0g1f6j5ZuQyKgqrjPVJ0U9l7yb35Zx_wInzBSOb8iL3LC3pApf64UDLhqZtbwA9O0Jn2TfD58liulzeTZOkuSwYMSYAK2bofNr4TVU/s640/blogger-image-794832627.jpg" /></a></div>
It's been a short visit to a very close neighboring country, close meaning similar: in history and the time was to short, but my feeling tells me that I would have found much more similarities to my own culture. This country looks pretty similar to Romania, Bratislava could be Cluj, but where I don't understand a word nor do I recognize the taste of the food. It is totally worth visiting and I am sure, I will go back to experience much more from everything it can offer.<br />
<br />
It is pretty obvious that visiting 4 Turkish cities this year, must indicate that it was my first visit of the country. And it is right, country number 17 - checked (even though it is not a contest)! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I had the amazing chance to <b>learn about <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/sets/72157636475827725/" target="_blank">Turkey</a></b> which I knew mainly from history lessons in school or from the people I meet at <i>Am Stern</i> in Kassel. The cities I've visited were so wonderful, so impressive. There is so much diversity, so much tradition and so much modernism. I felt very comfortable, a little bit like home, but not quite home. Turkish people are very polite, they are helpful and their sense of humor is adorable. But I guess, when you feel very comfortable in one place you tend to call it home. Well, I wouldn't mind calling it home, since they anyway speak lots of my language and eat all Romanian food.<br />
<br />
<i>Ben Türkçe öğrenmeye başladı</i> and I think <b>I decided to learn the most difficult language of all</b>. My goal is to be able to understand and speak with all lovely people from Nazilli when I go back in 2014. I would tell them that sarma is a Romanian dish and it's very delicious to eat it with polenta and sour cream and that şapcă, făraş and many more words are Romanian as well. And that the Ottomans took them when they were invited to visit our beloved country ;)<br />
<br />
I not only discovered this year my Turkish roots, but also rediscovered my Saxon ones at the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/sets/72157639059732295/" target="_blank"><b>Transylvanian</b> <b>Saxons' meeting (Heimattag) in Dinkelsbühl</b></a>. It takes place every year at pentecost in Dinkelsbühl. <br />

Around 30.000 of over 250.000 Saxons who moved back to Germany in the late 80's gathered to remember and to revive traditions, which will never be forgotten. Our mother is the Saxon of the family, but we didn't quite practice back in Romania. I think it is a feeling you develop when you are far from home. Coming together with you country people is a good feeling. We, Alexandra, Marius and I, dressed in traditional costumes met very many people, we didn't think we would know. We even met the Saxons community from Kassel by chance and the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/11574256285/in/set-72157639059732295http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/11574256285/in/set-72157639059732295" target="_blank">Community of Saxons</a> from the place where we used to live when we were kids.<br />
<br />
Staying in touch with our country people was the motto of May. Our dear friend from childhood and his partner have a daughter. We, Alexandra, Marius and I, had the honor to become her God parents. That's how, this year<b> I became God mother</b> for the third time, but for the first time to a girl, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/sets/72157639037663506/" target="_blank">Helena</a>. I am so much looking forward to see her again over new year's holidays and to celebrate her first birthday mid January.<br />
<br />
It feels like I was away for half of the year but I will return now to stories from northern Hessen, because there was so much more happening this year in Kassel...<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I went to <b>my first protest</b> in the streets of Kassel, the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABjM6i7Q5TA" target="_blank">warning strike</a> of government employees for better working conditions and fair salaries.<br />

<br />
Not that it had anything to do with the strike, but this year was good for work also. I got an extension of my work contract, what I think is a good sign because this is probably<b> the best job</b> I could have. My work is very divers and dynamic. It brings joy to me and to the people I work with, because every day we have the chance to help somebody. We also learn something new, further develop, share ideas and make them happen. This job is never exhausting, it is enriching.<br />
<br /></div>
One says that the year will be very much like New Years Eve. If you are happy at New Years Eve, you will be happy the whole year. Well, I remember being happy, but I also started my year with sports. That would probably mean that sports was supposed to be an important part of my life. Now, looking back and connecting the dots, it really was! I like biking and since we have this beautiful bike road along the river Fulda from Kassel to Hann. Münden, I joined the bikers group to<b> travel by bike 57 km from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/sets/72157636977289545/" target="_blank">Kassel to Hann. Münden</a> and back in one day</b> - it was so beautiful! And then I also joined the gym sometime June. I enjoy it very much and I feel great!<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Despite of the fact that there was no dOCUMENTA, nor did any other unique event take place, I counted <b>12 visitors, friends and family</b>, who enriched my life this year. <span style="font-family: inherit;">I also learned a lot about my city which hosts me for the last 6 years and seems to host me some years longer. My people use to like it in Kassel (probably that's the reason they come back all the time) and I </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">am always very happy to have them at my place. </span></span></span><br />

In November it ws again Glen time </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/sets/72157637768521185/" target="_blank">at the <b>Crossing Border Festival</b></a> in Enschede. There was magic and magic reloaded. <span style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">Their shows are breathtaking, like we've never seen before.</span></div>
<br />
The end of November in the Netherlands is also the time when <b>Sinterklaas</b> comes with the boat from Spain. And guess what, I met him in Almelo.<br />

<br />
I don't know if it was Sinterklaas or any other supreme power, but shortly before the year came to an end, a long term wish was fulfilled and <b>I moved to my new apartment</b>, one that I like so much, that I am always looking forward to coming home. Many dear friends helped me moving and I am very thankful for that. Without them neither would my moving have worked out so perfectly nor had my year turned out so great!<br />
<br />
<b>I thank you all who enrich my life every day. At this very special time of the year, I hope that every person in this world has a good moment to think of. There is lots of anger and disrespect in the world but also light and hope, and we need to learn to see the light and let hope show us the way.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I wish you all a very special new year. May you have the opportunity to learn a lot, to share your ideas and </b><b>to believe that something good can happen every day</b><b>. </b><b>May your work make a difference and enrich your life and the life of others.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Happy New Year!</b><br />

<![endif]--><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’m used to
the fact that people who visit me in Kassel enjoy their time very much (at
least that’s what they tell me) and I am always very happy to have them at my
place. I don’t know, it’s something about this place that makes everything
perfect. Usually they don’t stay very long, one weekend, maybe one day longer.
But this one time was different.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It happened
that my recent guests, my friends from the Netherlands, as I use to
introduce them, came for the Zissel weekend and ... stayed and stayed and
stayed for about ten days. So I was like: mi casa es su casa, mi amigos son sus amigos (hope my Spanish lessons were worth it).
We had a great time, we visited lots of places, went on boats, celebrated the
water sports, made BBQs, went out quite many nights, visited the rivers and
woods around Kassel, had lunch with the neighbors... But one activity on the last day was so
unexpected beautiful, so beautiful that I wasn't able to write about it until
now. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There is
this music event in Kassel. It takes place every summer for 8 weeks in a tent
next to the Fulda river. It’s a beautiful atmosphere. We learned from a
friend that Glen Hansard, an artist with skin and hair, as the organizers
called him, will have a concert at Kulturzelt Kassel on August 11. Glen Hansard
in Kassel??? Not for real, right? Yep, it was him! Since we soon also learned that it was AUSVERKAUFT, we thought, ok, we're not gonna see him live, but we will listen to the
concert from the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Biergarten</i> outside. When we were very confortable with this plan, what happend on the day of the concert? Tickets still available on site. We
rush there 3 hours before the concert starts and are the first in line. We
listen to Glen during the sound check and cannot believe it yet, that we will
actually see him life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And there
we were, at 19:30 we’re inside the tent, Glen and the Frames come and what
happened next was breathtaking, mind blowing, simply amazing!! It was a show like
we've never seen before. It was a concert like we've never been before to.
These people are artists one should not miss to see. If you haven’t been to a
Glen Hansard concert, you haven’t been to a great concert. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was a time when me and my friends from ANOSR and ASPR were <a href="http://www.bologna.ro/index.php?i=13&a=instigatorii-bologna" target="_blank">instigating</a> against the Romanian higher education system. It was bad and we wanted it to be better. We wanted our education to be relevant for our future, we wanted to learn, to develop and to be able to do what we like to do and what we're good at. So we thought we fix it. We found the Bologna Process a good tool for that, so we took it. Since there was no higher education reform in Romania for the past 40 years, this couldn't go wrong. We started at the bottom. I guess my friends who led the whole movement tried before from the top, but you can't really change something where people think nothing's wrong. Ministers, rectors, deans... they were happy. So we went to the others who were not or who soon learned that they were not. During the so called <a href="http://www.bologna.ro/index.php?i=11&a=saptamana-bologna-in-universitati" target="_blank">Bologna week</a> we informed students and teachers about how it could be, we researched and presented solutions and scratches from an education model which seemed rather attractive. We knew quite much about student centered learning and we we based everything on that.</span></div>

It was then my last year of my bachelors studies and the year was going to be extraordinary... I know it now, but I learned soon enough that it will change my life. I've been traveling a lot all around Romania and abroad, learning and later teaching others about education, about their role and responsibility in their own education and about decision making, about things you like to do in your life and about passion (it's just that at that time we did not really formulate it like this... but it was exactly that).</span></div>

I would also like to work in the department for university development and improvement of educational policies and strategies. My course of educational policies during my studies, but also the research I started for my theses brought me much closer to this area, which makes me more curious about it. (...)

<td><span style="color: #783f04;">I need to tell you a story from my first day on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/1558722706/in/set-72157602384352421/" target="_blank">campus</a>: This international programme felt like something really special to me and somehow I had the impression that these students will be the only international students in Kassel. So on my first day on campus, the first student who came to me to ask me for directions was an international one, speaking only English. So what do I think... he studies higher education. And I ask him that. And of course he says he studies higher education, because for those who do not know the master programme, everybody studies higher education in a university. So when I stared chatting with him about home country, living area and reading materials, he tells me he studies something else and I am totally confused... hmmm, there are more like me? Later that day I visit the language center with my new flat mate. She wants to register for a German language course and I wait for her on the corridor. One student gets out of the registration office and she gets in. What do I do? "Are you studying higher education?" And he says yes. Luckily this time it was really a student of my master programme. We started talking about our countries - he was from Oman - about the masters programme and spent the whole day shopping and walking through Kassel. That way I had no chance to kidnap other students on Campus with my weird question "Do you study higher education?", but according to my experience that day, I could have concluded that 50% of international students on Campus were from MAHE :)</span></td>

<span style="font-size: small;">În fiecare an, de când am învățat diferența dintre munte și deal, am mers în vacanțe la munte. O vacanță a fost mai deosebită și anume cea din 2005, când la întoarcere ne-am orpit la niște prieteni în Codlea, cărora tocmai le adusese pe lume cățeaua câțiva cățeluși de brac german frumoși foc. Noi pe vremea aia o aveam pe Peggy, o cățelușă frumoasă tare și răbdătoare și cuminte, dar care și avea grijă de curte și de animalele din curte. Peggy era puțin bolnavă la momentul respectiv, motiv pentru care idea de a adopta unul dintre micuții tocmai veniți pe lume nu părea tocmai nepotrivită.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Printre cățelușii ăștia frumoși foc era și unul negru complet cu o pată albă mare pe piept. La scurt timp după această vizită, el devenise <b>micul nostru Felix</b>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><i style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">"E născut pe 19 iunie 2005, noi l-am primit când avea o lunâ, era mititel,
se pierdea în curtea mare cu iarbă prea înaltă pentru piciorușele lui.
Dormea mult, ca un copil, se trezea să-și bea lăpticu' și se mai uita din
când în când la noi. A crescut, i-au ieșit dințișorii, a început să
roadă, să muște, să tragă, să rupă, să se răsfețe, … era
adorabil. A crescut mai mult și mai mult și a ajuns să fie aproape cât
mine. Era ascultător și totuși era rău… avea un glas puternic de-ți era
frică să te apropii de poartă. Nu intra nimeni în curte, nici măcar
ziarul, că-l făcea ferfeliță."</i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> (</span><a href="http://tamoeta360.wordpress.com/2007/02/18/micul-felix/" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" target="_blank">Tamoeta, 2007</a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">)</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Între timp a devenit mai mare și mai puternic, mai obraznic și mai îndrăzneț și parcă pe zi ce trecea mai destept. Avea jumătatea lui de curte pe care o împărțea cu celalalte animale, cu Ghiță și eventual Geta, cu găinile care nu au avut niciodată nume, cu albinele, și de curând cu Rilă, Riluța și Riluții. Mai vâna câte-o pisică vecină care se încumeta să intre în curte, dar în rest nu avea treabă cu prietenii de curte. Cu cei de afară avea multă treabă... nu prea era el împăcat dacă treceau cai și căruțe cu cai prin fața porții sau dacă aveam musafiri nepoftiți. Era și tare simpatic când venea vreme mare și tuna și fulgera... se certa cu tunetele fugind dintro parte în alta a curții</span> de parcă vroia să le raspundă... și credeți-mă că le răspundea cu vocea lui puternică de-l auzeau chiar și tunetele.<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Yiceam că era și tare destept. Nu cred ca a învățat niciodată că dacă muscă, pe noi ne doare și dacă vrea să se joace cu noi, respectiv ca noi să ne jucăm cu el, să muște mai puțin. Dar cred că mai degrabă l-am învățat că noua ne place când el mușcă, că atunci când era mic și ne prindea de mâneci sau de pantaloni, noi tare ne distram și mai degrabă îl lăudam, în loc să-i spunem că "pe noi nu!" A mai învățat dragu de el că nu are voie să intre în casă și până în ziua de ...marți el știa că nu intră în casă, oricât de tare și-ar fi dorit asta. Își întindea gâtul cât putea el, avand grijă ca lăbuțele să rămână pe pervaz și dacă din greșeală ar fi picat vreun picior în casă, repede îl trăgea înapoi. Era singura mea șansă să mă aduc în siguranță când se bucura foarte mult să mă vadă și iarăși nu facea diferența între a mușca pe cineva care e rău sau a mușca din joacă.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In spite of the amazing weather in Kassel at the beginning of august, or as the Austrians would say "Kaiserwetter"<span style="font-size: xx-small;">[1]</span>, I decided to spend my summer holidays again in Austria this year. I say again, because I do this for the last 2 or 3 years and few winters before. But since my brother, known as MM, and Alexandra recently moved to Vienna (I still say recently, even though it's more than one year ago), I use to travel quite often to visit them. Even though my project <b>"once a month to Vienna"</b> was not quite successful, I made it on average one every two months, which is not so bad either. Everything is a good reason for that: holidays, own birthday, friend's birthday, friends want to visit Vienna, attended conference, </span><span style="font-size: small;">not-attended conference, </span><span style="font-size: small;">meeting mum, meeting dad, eating <i>Apfelstrudel</i>, playing with Eusebiu :))</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And visiting my brother and Alexandra, of course!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Therefore I was entitled to receive a warm welcome on their white board: </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHbv333e5Uy_QFLZOhXVo_tDgdLKRWIXJEwpkgreymgX_MOOChkcB9qxb4ONDpHhPOME0mWhDveDFXPGaewEM3nYd1JWmhoPF80AlN2aihE0n8PEM9NTaaf_VJEnfblsaRzx9dLhGftc-O/s1600/7747722038_c1a10b41d3_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHbv333e5Uy_QFLZOhXVo_tDgdLKRWIXJEwpkgreymgX_MOOChkcB9qxb4ONDpHhPOME0mWhDveDFXPGaewEM3nYd1JWmhoPF80AlN2aihE0n8PEM9NTaaf_VJEnfblsaRzx9dLhGftc-O/s320/7747722038_c1a10b41d3_o.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" width="320" /></a></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">And yes, except of the fact that they recognized my mayorship on their apartment, they did not hesitate to make fun of me not using Facebook at that time... the whole day, and the day after, and the other days as well. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">About
that, it was a little weird not to be able to contact people, to
check the message history about stuff that is important in my daily life, to share stuff, to see what people share (some people). What I did not miss, was the information overload. But then I said, I can restart my blog; and then Alexandra made a point:</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> how are you going to promote your blog? </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Back to being out of Kassel: Being in Vienna is quite cool... just think about the <i>Wiener Melange</i>, the <i>Sachertorte</i>, the <i>Apfelstrudel mit Schlagobers</i>, the <i>Germknödel</i>, the delicious <i>Palatschinken</i>, the great Kebab from <i>Lamm</i> and the great <i>Ottakringer Radler Johannisbeere</i>. I see, I am talking about food and drinks only. Well, I think I passed the time when I was amazed by the buildings which look quite impressive, the language that sound like the German my grandma taught me, the people who are not always grumpy, the non-existing mountains (no, you can't be amazed by that), the city atmosphere, going shopping on <i>MaHü</i> (no, actually you can't get bored of this), the night life in MQ, the night life outside MQ, and I think much much more. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But when you go to Vienna, you should also learn to "act like a local"<span style="font-size: xx-small;">[2]</span> :</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1. Be grumpy, or maybe look grumpy in order to fit in, but actually you and the Viennese don't have any reason to be grumpy.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2. Spend hours in a cafe and not any cafe, but try Cafe <i>Havelka</i>, or other traditional Viennese cafes.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3. Treat the waiter as a king, because he IS the king and he acts like that. Call him <i>Herr Ober</i> and don't **** him off, even when you sit couple of hours there.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4. Drink <i>G'spritzer</i>... everything: wine, juice, just mix it with water. It doesn't taste very good, but it's refreshing.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">5. Order a <i>Krügerl</i> or a <i>Seidl</i>. It's the same like ordering <i>Melange</i> instead of <i>Milchkaffee</i>... it's basically just to make them understand you right away and be less grumpy.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">6. Enjoy the smokers paradise... for those who need it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">7. Eat a <i>Schnitzel</i>, and <i>Schweinsbraten</i> with <i>Semmelknödel</i> and <i>Kraut, Tafelspitz, Knödel mit Ei, Gulash... </i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">8. Eat a <i>Sacher</i> cake in any cafe, it's simply delicious.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">9. Eat a <i>Frankfurter Würstl</i> with <i>Kren</i> and <i>Senf</i> and don't ask why they call them <i>Frankfurter </i>and not <i>Wiener Würstl</i> like the Germans do.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

Eigenglich war nicht das der Grund unserer Reise in die Kaiserstadt und die Stadt der Ischler-Törtchen, aber trotzdem eine schöne festliche Überraschung.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">It's been a while since I wrote the last time… actually more than one year and it's been a busy, busy year. This note today is an anniversary note for celebrating four years in Kassel. The fact that I did not manage to write it on the anniversary day of October 1st shows how awesome that day and weekend has been </span><span lang="EN-US">:)</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /><br />When I started thinking about what I want to write, I realized I did not have a story to tell or an experience to share … it's more of reflection and insight. I thought about how many things I've learned since I am here and how much I have changed (in thinking, in attitude, in aims and aspirations) and also how many parts of the old me I have lost. One of the recent achievements would be the degree I earned last winter (one that I can put next to my name, but not yet in my ID :P), in addition to all knowledge and skills I acquired in the area I specialized for, all the people around the world I am connected to and the beautiful lifelong friendships we built. In the same time I feel like losing more and more of my connections back home, to the people I dreamed of changing the world with, to the places I once thought would be my home and to the aims and aspirations I came to Kassel with four years ago.</span><br /><br />Here I found people I can work with but not yet found the environment that gives me the necessary inspiration and motivation to really succeed in what I am good at. I learned that my current main job is not my dream job, but that I find from time to time jobs I dreamed of doing. I learned that internationalization and international mobility might be good for the system but I don't like to have people leaving all the time. I learned that sometimes we can't change everything around us, and then we need to change something inside us.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /><br />I did not learn though how to work in a factory, how to obey, how to take a destructive feedback and how to lower my expectations (on me and on the others).</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /><br />And I also learned that you need to be very careful what you wish for, because it becomes reality!</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /><br />I see you!</span></span> </div>

A fost tare frumos sa petrec doua zile cu acesti doi copii minunati intr-o perioada in care dedicasem majoritatea timpului meu scrisului si muncilor casnice. Pe cat am fost de consumata de energie, pe atat ma incarcau cu energie extraordinarele discutii care le purtam.<br />Totul incepuse cu intrebarea "Tu ce lucrezi?", venita din partea finutzului meu de 8 ani. Stau eu putin pe ganduri si incerc sa-i explic cum explorez eu ce se intampla in universitati... (adaug) in scoli, ca sa aflu tarziu ca universitatea era inca un concept strain pentru el. La cat de neputincioasa ma simteam eu sa explic cercetare in invatamant superior, ma intreaba Ren<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;">é </span>indata: Dar tu esti administrator? (vezi "</span><span style="font-size: small;">Hausmeister")... da! Nu stiu de ce incepusem cu stangul.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />Imi amintesc acum cum i-am explicat unei fetite de 2 ani si jumatate (e Hilda, care e atat de mare cat masterul meu) care venise cu mama ei la un workshop, ca noi doua ne jucam impreuna timp de 2 ore pentru ca mama ei are o prezentare ("Vortrag"), si ca noi nu o putem vedea de la locul unde ne jucam pentru ca perdele sunt inchise in sala de prezentare, ca altfel nu se vede proiectia de la videoproiector, ca ar fi prea mult lumina in sala. Hilda se uita lung la mine si spune -ok!<br /><br />Dar venind inapoi la weekendul cu Lara si Ren<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;">é</span>! A fost si mai frumos parca, sa pregatesc clatite pentru micul dejun si orez cu lapte pentru cina, sa mergem la film 3D, sa mergem o zi intreaga la muzee si seara sa mai vrem, sa-l vizitam pe Herkules, sa facem multe <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamoeta/sets/72157624732557334/">poze</a>, sa ne jucam multe joculete inteligente si sa invatatm despre cum sa ne jucam mai eficient.<br /><br />Eu am invatat multe despre copii si despre mine si s-au confirmat din nou ipotezele lui <a href="http://www.ted.com/speakers/sugata_mitra.html">Sugata Mitra</a>:</span> </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Mi s-au intamplat multe lucruri minunate in ultimul timp dar am inteles ca toate se leaga, mai ales dupa ce i-am vazut pe <a href="http://www.vladatanasiu.ro/">Vlady</a> si pe <a href="http://www.paulolteanu.ro/">Paul</a> la TV.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Nu pot sa descriu in cuvinte ce am simtit in timp ce ma uitam la emisiune, dar din cate imi amintesc, a fost mandrie, bucurie, entuziasm, pasiune si putina frustrare in acelasi timp. Sunt mandra de ei si ma bucur pentru ei si pentru ce valori se gasec in societatea romanesca. Am simtit pasiunea care se gaseste in spatele cuvintelor si pasiunea pentru ceea ce fac. Pe de alta parte eram putin frustrata, pentru ca baietii astia ridica standardele la un nivel foarte inalt, care mie imi dau impresia ca stau pe loc, dar si pentru ca am impresia ca sunt prea departe de intamplarile reale.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Ma identific cu 80% din ceea ce au spus ei, prin experientele avute, prin tariri si prin visele si planurile mele de viata. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Ceea ce am vazut si auzit ma indruma sa fac, printre altele, urmatoarea analiza:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Mediul asociativ studentesc din Romania este foarte valoros si mai bine dezvoltat decat in multe tari Europene. Studentii din ONGS-uri in Romania sunt mai proactivi, mai dornici sa invete, mai deschisi spre nou, mai responsabili si mai centrati pe viitor.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Tot mai des, competentele cerute la majoritatea locurilor de munca (sociale, de organizare, uneori chiar si profesionale etc.) nu se invata in universitate sau nu sunt cuprinse in educatia formala. Scrisesem intr-un <a href="http://tamoeta.blogspot.com/2009/10/de-ce-m-am-implicat-intr-un-ongs.html">post anterior</a> - eu am invatat 90% din ceea ce stiu sa fac in organizatiile studentesti in care am activat. Si datorita acelor experiente am ajuns sa fac ceea ce imi place sa fac cel mai mult: educatie. Am prieteni pentru toata viata si am vise care imi dau energie si putere in fiecare zi.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">S-a evitat putin discutia studentilor care pleaca din tara si cred ca e foarte bine ca Vlady s-a concentrat pe acei studenti care "isi dovedesc in fiecare zi ca se poate" (Doamne, cat mi-a placut asta!). Eu am avut emotii cand Eli a pus intrebarea respectiva si cred urmatorul lucru: studentii astia din ONGS-uri invata sa aiba scopuri foarte clare in viata, sunt responsabili pentru deciziile pe care le iau si sunt convinsi, indiferent daca pleca sau raman, de unde vor sa ajunga in viata (si aici nu ma refer la o destinatie geografica). <a href="http://anditttt.blogspot.com/">Andi</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/facebook.com/ameliegav">Mariana</a>, <a href="http://starringattheendoftime.blogspot.com/">Cornelia</a>, <a href="http://www.drugastefania.eu/">Stefania</a>, voi ce credeti?

<div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I'm every day more and more excited about my intercultural experiences in Kassel. A long journey ended yesterday, even though I'd say, it is just the beginning.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">For the last 6 months, a team of 20 international students in Kassel, from 17 different </span><span style="font-size: small;">countries, got together to learn (about) intercultural communication and competence. An amazing group of students, motivated, responsible, highly engaged, straight forward, with a rich intercultural background - each of them enriched our project remarkably! We took the innitiative, found a great trainer - the best I met so far in this area and the best I've met so far in any area in Germany - got some financial support from the university and here we go! </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">For me it was an amazing experience! </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">We learned to understand intercultural communication by doing this, by getting out on the campus in small multicultural teams, interacting with people, discussing with them, analyzing, sharing, etc. etc.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> We connected their experiences with ours and put together a great documentary film. It is a short film prepared to explore the theme of cultural interaction between German and international students at the University of Kassel.<br /><br />Enjoy:</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">From the series <a href="http://tamoeta.blogspot.com/2007/10/new-home-new-people-new-world-nice-home.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">"New home, new people, new world"</span></a> and <a href="http://tamoeta.blogspot.com/2009/03/m-am-mutat-la-casa-noua.html" style="font-style: italic;">"M-am mutat la casa noua"</a>, I proudly present my new virtual home - please give him / her / it an enormous applause:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div style="color: #000099; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">http://www.tamoeta.eu</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">It has a long story behind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It is my <a href="http://mariusmuresan.blogspot.com/">brother</a>'s gift for my birthday… a very nice one, and I am sooo happy about it! Thank you, <a href="http://mariusmuresan.blogspot.com/">big brother</a>!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">But still, I had to decide about the name and the domain. Well, the name was easy… what else than </span><span style="font-size: small; font-style: italic;">"tamoeta"</span><span style="font-size: small;">, but the domain gave me a lot of headache: should it be tamoeta.ro (what I firstly thought about), or tamoeta.de (what I didn't think about), but since I was / am / will hopefully be quite mobile, I think it should be more international… still tamoeta.eu sounds quite political, so I didn't like it at all at first and tried to find something else: .net, .org, .edu (this is it!!! Unfortunately I am not an educational institution… yet).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Then I made a poll, and 3 out of 3 votes were for tamoeta.eu… and here it is!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">What is absolutely fantastic - I can have as many <s>under pages</s> subdomains as I like, for example:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://blog.tamoeta.eu/">http://blog.tamoeta.eu</a> or</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://flickr.tamoeta.eu/">http://flickr.tamoeta.eu</a> or</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://facebook.tamoeta.eu/">h</a><a href="http://facebook.tamoeta.eu/">ttp://facebook.tamoeta.eu</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">and even http://farm.tamoeta.eu… well, I'll think about this :P</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">For now, visitors will be forwarded to this web page, my <a href="http://tamoeta.blogspot.com/">blog</a>, but I am looking forward to move in to my new home very soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Say hi to </span><span style="color: #000099; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">tamoeta.eu</span><span style="font-size: small;"> and keep your eyes open for further news on this topic.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Be happy!</span></div>
