Sighisoara - Cidade medieval

 

Com muito atraso...mais umas quantas!

Já em terras lusas, mas ainda com fotografias romenas:)

Porque valem a pena e não devem ser deixadas no baú, apresento-vos Cluj Napoca, Sighisuara e Bucareste II.

P.S. - A máquina é boa mas os fotógrafos não tanto...e por isso alguns lugares não ficam bem representados...

CLUJ - NAPOCA

Pequeno lapso...reencaminhamento

Bom....sou tão esperta que pus as fotos no meu outro blogg...por isso deixo aqui os links do início da reportagem fotográfica:)

Romenian tour

Olá novamente!

Prestes a terminar a estadia pela Roménia, e quase de volta à terra-mãe, aqui ficam algumas das milhentas fotografias que tirámos na nossa tour. O passeio contemplou os seguintes poisos:

Bucareste, Vaslui, Iasi, Cluj-Napoca, novamente Bucareste e de volta a Navodari.

Dia 30 parto para Portugal...desta vez por tempo indeterminado, levando comigo a única certeza que tenho de momento na minha curta e aventureira vida...1,90m de companheirismo, amizade e sorrisos :)

From Romenia, with love :)

Depois de acalmar e dizer adeus à escola em Hornjoe, partimos para Navodari no dia 24.

Um capítulo fechado...

Agora é tempo de pesquisar alternativas para uma nova fase.

Talvez ainda esta semana comecemos a nossa Backpack trip aos país, a volta à Roménia em 2 semanas :)

From Romenia, with Love, here goes some pictures, from Navodari and Constanta:)

Larevedere!

Navodari

 

30 mil habitantes, mais de 10 igrejas ortodoxas. 

Uma mesquita, uma igreja católicae 2 igrejas cristãs na mesma avenida :)

 

Eleições à porta...cidade enfeitada...

Já viram o cartaz do nosso PSD no poste?

Constanta

 

O meu guia predilecto:)

Em Constanta são ainda visíveis alguns restos da fortaleza da cidade, sinal da ocupação grega, no tempo em que a cidade se chamava Tomas

Á beira mar negro, um dos maiores portos deste mar, um bonito passeio marítimo e um antigo casino.

 

ola!salama mohavô!velkommen til Norvegia!

Eu , José, Carla, Mokas - Eu a partir e eles a chegarem...Maputo,Out 2009

olá minha gente!


Escrevo-vos novamente depois de algum tempo a comunicar através da ajuda de outrém, com notícias fresquinhas.

A verdade é que já não estou em Nacala, nem tão pouco em MOçambique, nem mesmo em África. Por agora voltei para a Noruega e passo a explicar porquê.

Embora as fotografias não o demonstrem, o meu trabalho em Nacala, estava longe de se resumir à difícil tarefa de melhorar o meu bronze e adormecer nas águas quentes do Índico. Estes eram os momentos em que podia tirar algumas fotografias para vos mostrar a beleza da Nacala.
Por incrível que pareça creio que fui à praia tantas vezes como os dedos que tenho numa mão, ora porque não tinha companhia e não podemos ir sozinhos, ora porque está, de facto, a trabalhar no ou para o Colégio.

Aconteceu que o meu corpo não gostou dos limites impostos:
- Lariam a fazer das suas com febres, dores no corpo e diarreia;
- Calor a deixar-me com imensa sonolência;
- Filtro de água a deixar águinha com cor, sabor e gosto;
- Comida boa mas pouco variada e demasiado diferente dos meus costumes europeus

E a minha mente e o meu coração seguiram o mesmo rumo...
- Época de chuvas ainda pra vir e com ela mais bicharada e mais perigosa e mias calor e mais humidade...
- Com Lariam há figadeira semanal e sem Lariam...malária de caixão à cova?
- Dependência dos estados de humor do sinal da Mcel para me ligar à internet, para telefonar...para me sentir ainda conectada aos meus!
- Tudo difícil, tudo longe...tudo lento...demasiado para os meus hábitos e para alguém que detesta perder tempo...

Tudo isto rodopiou na minha cabeça durante vários dias e, entre prós e contras decidi que dava a experiência por temporariamente terminada.
Digo temporariamente porque também me apercebi que não quero voltar a ter um bela e confortável trabalho de escritório das 9 às 18 e que quero de facto continuar de alguma forma a trabalhar em trabalho humanitário.
Foi indubitavelmente enriquecedora e marcante..tão marcante que me fez ver o que quero fazer daqui para a frente!

Assim, decidi voltar à minha escola Norueguesa, arrumar as minhas tralhas, pegar no meu apêndice romeno e rumar a umas férias à beira Mar Negro por tempo indeterminado. No entretanto, entre muitas fotos e vários passeios turísticos e aprendisagem de romeno, procuraremos o trabalho/voluntariado para os futuros tempos.
O Colégio?Nacala?De certo não esquecerei nem tão pouco esquecerei que quero continuar a ajudar o Colégio e os fantásticos pequenos adultos que por lá andam a espalhar alegria e esperança! Celsio, Albertina, Benedita, Salvador e outros tantos que não vos mostrarei aqui ( por não ter esse direito) mas que espero voltar a ter notícias!

Por agora é tudo...
Quando tiver melhor internet colocarei aqui fotografias!

Tata!

some...daily activities :)

And they are so common….welcome to Nacala!

Oh well, it´s 9 p.m. and I am in my room after a meeting with the regional TG group were I was invited to show my video preparation.

Today I started and finish the day…having 3 degree meetings with all source of African animal life…

I woke up in the morning and went out of the room thru the inside of the house. Usually I just use the outside door. Today I was glad I am not so much an habit animal! After some minutes I went back to the room from the normal way and..guess who was trying to take a nap in my green´s door net?

THIS! Oh boy!!! And I love them SO MUCH!This one was around 8 cm long and 8 cm large with the feet.

Then I just decided not to disturb him till he decides to go out of my door and I went eating breakfast and do my stuff.

So, in front of the house, I was seeing the sea and our beach and then I just look at the floor and…uau! Another one! This one looked like a dead brown leaf!

And after 5 min another one near the corner of the house, looking like a small branch of tree…

Ok…its starting to be the time of “ gafanhotos”…good..i will have to control myself and start facing also this fear..

I went to the kitchen to finish my coffe and take my vitamins and in the floor, near Daiva´s room was…a dead mousse…nice! It was a small one, maybe 12 cm long without the tail…nothing special..and so after a green leaf bug in my door I just putted gloves to pick up a dead rat…

But, it was still smelling a lot to dead animal and we realise that it wasn´t coming from that mouse…so were was it from? We search and search and then…inside the electricity box..something was there….it looked like feathers going out of the box…we couldn’t open it..i went to try to find one of the gards to help us but he wasn’t around…then daiva came to my room to tell me that she had manage to open it and…it was SOMETHING inside dead..great…something…unrecognisable…oh god!

Ok so Daiva was almost vomiting and Angela wasn’t even around..so guess who had to put gloves again? Yep…bingo! ME!

After gloves and one “mola” for the noose..i went….and it was smelling like hell!!!

It was another dead mouse but this one...already decomposing…nice…I had to concentrate a lot before I finally manage to touch him…oh god..he was very..fluffy…almost has if it was a hall inside him…disgusting!!!!

Ok..second try to try to pick him up and put him inside the plastic bag..i approach the victim…and with two fingers and my eyes half closed I just push him up by his tail….and!!!!OH MY GOD!!!!!he WAS with a hall inside him because he was being eaten by dozens of verms!!!!big yellow long disgusting verms…like the ones we see in CSI when the bodys are decomposing…the mouse body was moving because of them…

I filled myself with the last straight I had and…almost crying I manage to, in a short movement, but the mouse in the plastic bag…I was almost vomiting…im so proud of myself..some years ago I would just run 30 km away from that mouse! But the verms..i just couldn’t…it was to much..so I finally found the guard and he did that partJ

So ok, till now we have green leaf bugs, brown bugs and branch bugs and 2 dead rats and verms..nice list!

But then I was talking again with one of our guards about that green bugs to try to increase my “African animals culture” and he told me that that green one is inoffensive BUT there is a long one that is poiseness and it grows a lot and then goes inside the tree and changes to cobra (of course that this last part I didn’t believe but anyway). He told me that he would “save one” for me when he found one so I could know them..ok..good...better know him dead then eating my skin…

In the afternoon I still manage to see another type of leaser in one of our trees. Brown and slim and very long, with long agile feet ( he was like 10 cm body and maybe more 15 in tail).

So besides “osgas” a family of 5 of them at least, and blue tail leasers and brown and white tripped leasers, we also have 25 cm brown ones…very good!

I arrived to the meeting in the school and a cockroach was using my chair..a small one of 4 cm..its dead was quick…the Danish teacher took care of it before meJ

And finally I was coming home and I sow another green leaf bug and also the guard had another nice surprise to me! Remember the poiseness bug?

Oh ya!!! He killed one, because it is actually very common in here AND “ there are a lot during night”…so the THING was there on the concrete floor and it was grey and some parts of red..and it was fucking big..oh yah..it had like maybe 10 cm long without the feet…and I understood that it was another type of what we in Portugal call of “louva-a-deus”.

So today was a very “national geographic” day. I know that I like that programme and I like animals but…can they be from another class that is not insectivorous????

Oh ya…actually they can…

They can be scorpions and snakes that I was talking about with the guard the other day.

Its starting now the scorpions time and here all of them are bad..usually here in this precise area we JUST have the black big poiseness one…and they are usually around the house in that concrete part.

“And snakes?” yah snakes..we have…”yesterday I killed one just there in Giampaolo´s yard during day..it was around 1,5 meters” I am SO GLAD that we have this guards! They are afraid of dogs but they kill snakes and scorpions and gigantic bugs just as easy as I take a cup of coffe..no problem…

about snakes he also said that its now starting their season…and that are a lot in the hill that goes down till the sea. Also we have to be careful to pass under the trees specially at night. And that are a lot of different ones…one type is always going in pair and..if you kill one you have to burn it because if not the other one will follow your smell and will chase you till it baits you..it can take 1 day or 1 week but it will do it. Also our guard found some days ago a snake with two heads..he says that here its very common…

I guess here any type of poiseness strange animal is common…common like “every day” common…

Finally I was forgetting our flying unts..they are adorable..with 2 cm long and wings! And they built a cocoon in any corner of doorsJ lovely!

Oh well today I am going to sleep well thinking about my “new pets”J

And i´m happy! I have amazing pictures to take home! Oh! Maybe I can do some business with National Geographic!

Noapte buna!

New pictures

my surroundings

Ok so here is my campus! J

From our house to work is like…2min..around 300m maybe…

The scale is not correct. From my work till EPF school is like 7 to 10 min walking

From our house till the asphalt road is like 40 min walking! We always try to have a lift till the town !

I hope this helps you to visualise my home and work areaJ .Its safe around here. Just in that sand road we have to start to be carefull a little bit.

From our house till our beach is maybe 2 min… we usually stay swimming in that trees that you see in the photo, not more for the right side or for the left because there is another beach…

New room

Today the day was good. I passed it home cleaning and arranging my new space.

Federico and Amako left @ 6 a.m and I couldn´t resist on going immediately to see my new room!lol

The windows were full of spiders…as well and the sealing, and the walls, and the floor, and the shelves…Oh well..i started at 8:30 and I finished at…13:30…5 hours cleaning..i think I would like to go back to morning cleaning in Hornsjoe!

But the room is clean and disinfected and I will put it like I likeJ The next step will be to paint the walls. they are white but they are very dirty and I cannot clean it.so I will paint it in light blue ( Mexican style with just 1 layer of paint) and bottle-green and then I willl change the curtains and buy “capulanas” with that same green and blue padorn.

Capulanas are that tipical African textiles that you buy and then you just do anything, like towels, suits, curtins, etc. 1 capulana costs 60 meticais, wich is around 1,5 euros..lol nothing… Then I will buy a small mirror and a wood-shelfs to put my cloth because the concrete shelfs that I have are not very well made and they have small spiders inside and I don’t want my cloth with animals…hughhhhh….disgusting! So, that and maybe some pillows made with the same capulanas and a mattress or something like that so I can do a small lounge corner . THEN it will be MY roomJ hehehe. Oh and I will have 1 or 2 african paintings that I will buy to a man that Madalena also knows that does the paintings by request and comes here at home (personal assistance..lol)

The room has an amazing view! Because its in the corner of the house, and the bed is exactly in that corner, I can see the sea in 90 º of my vision, when I wake up in the morning!hehehe and also I can see the tree were usually the monkey family goes (i sow 1 already!!!:)
