Day Five:
Today is my last day in Romania, so I slipped on my shorts and took a jog in the 10 C˚ weather. Not as bad as it sounds, but I bet you not one of their countrymen puts shorts on until June. Peti and Livio followed me around in their car laughing at me, swerving at me, and throwing things at me.
My whole mission today is to buy some sort of souvenir. I went into one store and a sales lady started speaking FF (foreign and fast). This time I decided to stand my ground. I was going to grind this one out, so I could at least come out with something. I used an ugly face if I no likey and smiley face thumbs up if I likey. The lady started to catch on and we went through sizes and everything. I spent 145.00 RON (Oh yeah, call me Big Spenda).
I ate dinner tonight with Adrian and Ruth, they lived in America for 3 years. Ruth cooked a somewhat American meal for me. It is custom to use the toilet scrubber after every poop and they had a nice one with a wall holder and everything.
My last night downtown at the Sky Bar was a memorable one. Everyday I would go to this Tea and Coffee Bar to email and chill with the peeps of Oradea. I would usually sit by myself long enough for someone to start a conversation with me. By the way, there are cool coffee and tea bars on every corner. Tonights conversation started by this guy named Marios who asked me to come sit with him and his friends. Long story short, our little group in the corner ended up being close in age and we got to know each other for the next 2.30 hrs. There were times during the night when I thought, is this really happening here in some strange place. It was amazing to see how strangely similar people are all over the world. I thank God for this beautiful night.
Hasta La Vista Romainia.

So where is the Big Rog? Is he out on a mission that you aren't supposed to talk about?
