Nap Time
Aksel & Kjetil got a little tired after breakfast & Lars was kind enough to read them a bedtime story. Then again maybe Lars borrowed my Business Computer Applications book & read it out loud. LOL
I really enjoyed reading your previous comment on the spring time in Campina, my dear dana ! I sometimes feel I live in the concrete and asphalt jungle. Although I think I'm used to it, it is often harmful for human spirits. Actually Tokyo has many beautiful nature even in the center part of the city, but some area is definitely artificial challenge against us. Fortunately we've started to notice it recently and hope it'll improve. I'd like to propose my city government to look Campina as our model in future.
Will you have a lunch break one hour later today to check FIS site for Aksel ? I'll check it here at 20:00. looking forward to it !
@Ekaterina Yes, you're right about Lars, or he already has experience of making the others sleep!:))
I know what you mean about the concrete and asphalt jungle, but, comparing some other big cities, Tokyo has plenty of green spaces and parks. At least that I saw in some documentaries on tv! You all love the nature and take care of it! I know you were kidding but I think my city government has to look Tokio as a model! We have a lot of things to learn from you!
Yes, I'm home now and I watch the training on FIS. But I'm not in the lunch break. Unfortunately the Company where I work has big financial problems bc of the economical crisis and this is the third month when we work just 4 hours a day, half of the normal program and of course we earn just a half of our salaries!!! So that's why I'm home, bc I work just till 12pm.
I found a site where you can read how to make Romanian pancakes (crepe) and some other dishes. If you have time you can take a look on it:
@dana. yes, you're right, dana. We have a plenty of nature even in the center of Tokyo and we're trying to have it more. I think it's the global trend. And we started to notice it after we started to complain about the concrete and asphalt jungle. But the concrete & asphalt jungle has guaranteed our finance with the factories and laboratories inside & outside Tokyo. It's very difficult to keep balance.
dana, I think I can say at least one thing, that is, the economical profit shown in GDP often ruins the society of the country unless we are very careful not to be eaten by economy. It's so awful, because there are so many people who are not careful.
The long story short, if the company you work becomes busy after the economy in Romania recovers, you'll have to work much longer hours and days, of course you will be payed much much more however, you'll have to lose the time to appreciate the blossoms of cherry, apricot, apple and plum in every spring. It's so awful, too.
That's why it's difficult to keep balance, and it's honest feeling from all Japanese who have been tasted bitter experience, and at last we conclude that we cannot be happy with the ratio of money over 50% and time below 50% and we can be happier with the opposite ratio.
btw, thanks for the link, dana ! DARIE serves Papanasi and others. but I'm veyr pleased with more info from you !
going to take a bath and getting into bed. I'm a bit tired tonight due to the long interruption during TRA, bc such a longer interruption measn bad crash. Nobody likes it !
Hope you enjoy your town, and I'm not kidding. I think there are many things my country has to learn from you !
I'm waiting on my business computer applications teacher to show up. It's really dark in the room today. I wonder if some of the lights are burnt out. Anyway, how is everybody? I hope that you all have a good weekend. Wish me luck that I don't fall asleep in class. Her voice makes me want to sleep. LOL Hopefully the teacher comes soon.
Hi girls! How are you? I guess you all are happy for Aksel's third place at SC!!! He did an awesome first run and the second one was good too! I'm also glad for Kjetil! He did a great job too!
@Ekaterina Thank you, you're very optimistic, but I'm afraid my company will go bankrupt! The situation is very serious! We'll see!
I think it's bed time for you so I wish you good night and a beautiful next week, my dear Ekaterina! Hugs!
@dana. Believe me that I understand you know much about the philosophy the optimism wins against the pessimisum.
But I think I understand the actual life is not easy. Although some part of life changed into the better one, but the other some part did not. I think the situation in the former East nations are still in trouble even after 20 years, and what is worse, the former West nations have faced with the financial trouble for recent years, and as the result, it makes the economy in the former East nations recover and improve so so slow.
As a matter of fact, in Japan, we all lost from 40% to 60% of our property. But it means we still have around half of our property at least now, and that can make us think a bit optimistically, bc the original 100% was simply huge. But nobody in my country feels we can expect the bright future, bc our economy becomes weaker and weaker, and it makes us feel very pessimistic now. So, there are full of anxiety in Japanese society now, and people who can no longer stand for it starts to think about giving all up and become optimistic, and I think I am one of them.
dana, I hope the company you work for will be able to survive and you can keep on working there.
And, don't leave Romania no matter what happens. It is really hard time in Romania, but it'll be better. Romania is the country of great potential, which is different from my country.
Hope you have a pleasant Monday evening, my dear dana ! Kisses & Hugs !
@Ekaterina You're very right regarding former East and West nations! Unfortunately Romania has huge economical and financial problems, I don't know if you saw on the news that here are people that commit suicide bc they don't find any way to solve their problems! And they are becoming more! It's terrible! It's true, my country has a great potential in agriculture, tourism, even is some industry, but we haven't the right ppl to lead us, to care about us! What can I say more when our military retirees get out in the street to protest because the government cut about 20-60% from their pension! Everything is very expensive compared to our purchasing power, especially the food, which will be more expensive starting tomorrow with 15%!!! Romania is the poorest country from EU!
Our leaders tell us to leave the country if we can't live here!!!! I don't think this is normal in a normal society! We have many smart and good young ppl that leave the country looking for a better life! It's sad and unfair!!
Thank you for encouraging me, dear Ekaterina! Sometimes we all need someone to tell us that everything will be better! Have a good and restful night! Hugs!
Aksel & Kjetil got a little tired after breakfast & Lars was kind enough to read them a bedtime story. Then again maybe Lars borrowed my Business Computer Applications book & read it out loud. LOL

@dana.
