Cinci mici, va rog.
Washing machine, in my opinion, is one of the most brilliant invention in history. For the most part of my life, I've taken the presence of washing machine for granted. Here in Galati, I washed my clothes a few times using the machine of Dirk's, but yesterday, I challenged myself to wash my clothes by hand. It took me well over an hour, and now my hands hurt from putting too much effort into it. Although I enjoy being low-tech, I can't wait to get a washing machine for the sake of time.
In the meat section at a supermarket, I found some raw mici, which is one of my favorite Romanian food. So I bought it to try to cook at home. I think it's best to cook it in open fire, but for obvious reasons I used a saucepan. I cooked two mici with olive oil and some salt for more than 10 minutes until the outside was almost completely blackened, then I removed them from the pan with joy and cut one of them in half to check how it is cooked. It was red. So I tried different methods and I think I cooked it for more than 30 minutes total, but the center of those mici never seemed to be cooked. So I got tired of it and ate them anyway. I don't feel anything wrong with my body yet. I don't know for sure, but according to wikipedia mici can contain paprika sometimes so I suspect that paprika made it look red. Today I'll cook it again and this time I'll try only 15 minutes or so of cooking. I hope it won't ruin my weekend.
I'm going to Bucharest this weekend with the trainees to see the city, and to send off Kai who is going back to Germany on Sunday :( I was in Bucharest for just a few hours carrying a heavy suitcase when I first arrived in Romania, so this time I should be able to enjoy it a bit more.

I agree with all my being that mici are the most delicious thing I came across in Romania (I had forgotten about them until now). . . some of the kids in my city had the same reaction to the Asian girl I was working with (as well as a black kid from London passing through with a singing group). I think what I saw then, and it may help to think about, is that you are likely the first and only Asian person they have ever seen. Just look carefully to be sure that what seems like insult is not in fact astonishment. The shock of seeing someone so very different in appearance can cause people to blurt out without thinking. As hackneyed as it may sound, a smile, a handshake and a hello (or "salut" in Romanian) can go a long way.
日本語でいけるのか試してみるｗ
半生だったのは強火だったからじゃないか？？弱火でじっくりorやや蒸してみれば？ フライパンに水張ればいけるんじゃないかなーと思うけれど、わたしの料理スキルを推して知るべし笑
まー君の腹なら頑丈だろうｗｗｗ
Idk, the Washing Machine might content with the Dishwasher - but as you know from your bike ride across Japan, if you keep one set of cloths and one set of eating items both are irrelevant - but in a social context you are correct sir :)
and I agree with kyle - much of @ has said many a funny things are my change in appearance

Mici is great. I'll try to make some when I get back.
I think I've been in the US for too long and forgot how it feels to see a foreigner. Little kids stare at everything they see in astonishment, and adults rarely do too. I just tend to be the subject of this phenomenon recently, I guess.

Living off of one set of cloths is ok only if you are not working and you don't have to see the same group of people everyday. But you are right, I might be just complicating my life a little too much.

関心じゃなくて感心です……(ﾉ∀`)
読むのは平気だけど、書くのは五倍ぐらい時間がかかりますｗｗｗ
