One of the subtle advantages of travelling far and wide is not only that you get to see places, but also that you can ultimately affirm your friendships. As there’s no better way to truly know someone than when you travel with them. Whether you find yourself in trains, crammed buses, tents, airports or guesthouses, you can always catch your companions unaware, especially if they are sleeping. There is this […]
There are those mornings when, despite living in your own house, your own kids seem to be a couple of strangers lost in the middle of a Transylvanian nowhere as if woozily beholding the mosaic in a rank railway station after a drinking binge along with some herdsmen who, the night before, around the fire, looked like gods only to turn out as demons the next morning.

I admit I like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. I like the architecture, the collections, the atmosphere, the audio presentations, the photography gallery, the gardens as well as the view onto downtown L.A.

Fear of ridicule, fear of making a fool of ourselves, of not […]
That day was supposed to be glorious. But nothing really happened except the fact that my dad felt a little embarassed as an intensely photographed star. (about seven Kodak Tri-X films). After 40 years of teaching Romanian language, Grammar, Latin and other things, his career ended quite serene. In June, 2011 my dad was closing to his 70s. Now he’s a lovely retired man. He teaches my kids to write […]
