One of the most important centers of orthodox religion in Suceava, maybe together with the one of Athos (Greece) or the network of serbian monasteries.

It's in catalan. It means: You know everything about Sighisoara. Because I suppose everybody has gone there or hear about it. I would like to go to its dark side, to the city that is not up, around the fortress, to the vulgar buildings and rests of companies, to the not touristic part. And in fact I was there, but I didn't take pictures. Was I just a tourist? No one escapes to that feeling. Enjoy yourself!

An example of the days of the past present, I mean, of the days of future past.

Also called Hermannstadt, is one example of one the Siebenbürgen respected by the past (maybe one example of the opposite are Bistrita). Maybe it's the city that shows how a good location, a solid history and the respect for a minority's heritage, can do for tourism.

Târgu Mures or the hungarian presence in România

A gallery of pictures about Bucuresti, city of huge buildings of concrete, survivor churches with pale paintings, 900 000 cars for around 2 milion of citizens, the ghosts of the Ceaucescu bureaucracy singing shy tunes, beautiful small houses in the ambassys neighborhood, silent dogs that hang around in the night in groups of five and restaurants with luxus atmosphere for 25 ron for the hope.

Bine ati venit!

The steps were going on just like this:

1) Some people went to the garden of orthodox church.

2) They were distributed in groups: children and men.

3) The priest indicated when they had to start.

4) Children started singing some carols.

5) Men went on singing some carols. 

6) Men finished singing a carol about Mos Craciun. 

7) Someone dressed as Mos Craciun went out from the orthodox church building and gave presents to the children. 

Here you have the pictures of the Seara Interculturala. Jesus has uploaded an article explaining the content.

We were clean main streets of Covasint,with local kids!

Inside off the limets of the ortodoxian church off covasint we can find a entografic museum that can keep alive the memory off old habits and tradicions. All the museum is a result of the ortodoxian priest in colaboration with some local persons that are donating old family values to make possible the improvement off the museum. In the museum we can find on section dedicated to tradicional costumes wich is diveded betwen diferent comunities one exclusive for covasint. We can find another section conected with musicology local and another more connect with religious exclusively for the ortodoxian church. The museum is not finished and another part off the museum is inside off the priest's house however he sais that all the material can be see for all the city. There's the intention to built one videoteca and one audio file.

The itention off keep alive the memory off our anestrals and their way off live is known for long ago. All off us, human beings, we need to fell us identifieds firt with one grup conected with one geografic limit and than we criate culture - one way to make circule one set off material and non-material elements that make us feel together and unit.

The effort to collect those elements are not restricted to responsable and important persons we can find that iniciative in another local persons. In covasint in a spontaneous meeting we discovered one off those cases. One local family that had coming to colect old romenian tradicional instruments and old pieces than can comunicat and keep alive the memory off diferent and older times.
