One of the problems with spending a prolonged period of time in a country like Romania is the constant sense of being just outside of the loop. I have a decent grasp of a several languages, but Romanian just doesn’t make sense to me – so I have a feeling of helplessness when I’m out in public without a native speaker to help me. Generally this doesn’t lead to many problems, but today I spent the majority of the day on my own and ended up feeling out of place.
What does this have to do with anything you may ask? Well as I sat in my hotel room tonight watching the Red Sox lose to Toronto via Slingbox I heard sounds outside my window. I looked towards the Piata Victoriei (Victory Square) and saw fireworks over the Orthodox Cathedral. I would love to say I knew why they were shooting fireworks off, but as is often the case here – I just don’t know.
