Exciteable descriptions of a new life living in "The Best Place on Earth". The new template is more basic, more classy, tidier... so totally not me!

5:03 p.m. - Forte Bine

Today I got to use some of my Romanian! A Romanian couple came to pick up my load and I surprised them by asking, "Che Fac?".

Which, alarmingly, means "How are you?"

Much to my delight they were "Forte Bine".

Then we talked in English for a bit and they wished me Arivedetsi (bizarely Italian and meaning see you again). Unfortunately no one said "Multimesc" so I didn't get to use my favourite Romanian word, "Couplacheri" (incorrect spelling but it means "you're welcome" - such a Canadian phrase).

NOW I am going home.
