Things I Don't Like
- Living with 4 girls in a small apartment with little privacy wears on me.
- Romanians stare/glare at us no matter how small of a group we travel in. We look like freaks of nature to them or something.
- Customer Service does not exist here. Only at Kauffland can you sometimes find a checker who will smile and say hello/goodbye
- The twilight bark that goes on every night from 11pm until 4 am. This makes sleeping with windows open almost impossible.
- Being so far away from my family and friends
- Feeling dumb when I try to communicate and can't with people due to language barriers.
- I have trouble sleeping if I go to bed before 1am (which it's 1:30 now)
- Rum Cake...or anything Rum flavored
- Not being able to go to a doctor when I have an ingrown toe nail, or a toothache from what I'm pretty sure is a cavity they failed to find in April.
Things I Do Like
- The Branch here has awesome members
- Cute little ladies with gold teeth at the piata that sell gross/wierd cheese
- The piata itself and how it works (people sell fruit from their farms to provide income for their families)
- The exchange rate is still 3RON/1USD
- My kids I work with!
- Getting letters from my missionary (as always)
- Emails from family members
- The fact that I'm getting better at cooking...even from scratch!
- I can have a bad day at home, but still go and love my time at the orphanage or "spital"
- Little by little, I can read more fluently The Book of Mormon in Romanian!
- Maxibonne ice cream bar/sandwhich thing I tried tonight for the first time
- Longosi
- Pretzels from the bread booth by the tram station
