La pas prin Reykjavik

In Islanda se poarta mult par pe fata si barba lunga. La barbati.

Vedere din turla bisericii de pe floaster.

Apa rece de la robinet e cea mai buna din lume, zic ei.  Am gustat-o, e buna.

Dar cind dai drumul la apa calda, pute ca si cind cineva a uitat ouale pe masa o saptamina dupa pasti. Explicatia o gasesti in pliantul hotelului si pe un bilet atirnat linga dus: islandezii au apa calda gratis din pamint (geotermala), doar ca vine “la pachet” cu sulful.

In Islanda, cind faci dus iesi mai puturos decit cind ai intrat.

It’s only for a few days the “twins” in Mount Pleasant’s cemetery are in full bloom.

Agentii de recrutare care aduc oameni la munca in Canada

Uite o lista cu agentii de recrutare canadiene care aduc oameni la munca in Canada.

Nu sint firme romanesti care cer comisioane (de mii de dolari), ci dimpotriva, unele arata clar ca cheltuielile de recrutare apartin angajatorului. Pe angajator il costa vreo 6 mii de dolari sa aduca un om in Canada la lucru, dar uneori ies mai ieftin asa.

Locurile de munca pe care le ofera sint de la opinca pina la cele cu educatie superioara.

Am facut lista dupa ce am cautat pe Google Canada cu cuvintele cheie “FOREIGN WORKER AGENCIES”

Bafta la cautat!

Travel tips: Reykjavik

I just came back from a 4-day trip to Reykjavik, Iceland.

If you’re Vikingland-bound any time soon (and you should be, because it’s almost an unveiled secret by now), the facts below may help you.

Reykjavik is on the South side of a bay.

Survolaj – Goluri de aer (live in Bucuresti, aprilie 1991)

Daca nu ma insel, a fost primul concert al Survolajului in Bucuresti.

Din pacate l-am ratat (eram student in anul trei la Cluj), dar stiu ca Motu Florian Pittis a fost in audienta. Dani are o poveste haioasa despre cum au facut cunostinta.

Luminato Festival’s Full 2013 Programme Announcement! (June 14-23)

As usual this time of the year, the Luminato Festival announced it’s full programme for this year’s edition, that takes place over 2 weekends and the week sandwiched between them: 14-23 June 2013.

The festival also got new clothes (new logo, graphics, new website) and an amazingly easy to navigate, tabbed schedule on its homepage.

Luminato is, of course, the festival that brought us in its short existence artists like Philip Glass, Kronos Quartet, Laurie Anderson and the list goes on and on, not only musicians but theater, dance and fabulous visuals.

 

Muzica experimentala la Festivalul Tectonics din Reykjavik, 18-20 aprilie 2013

Nu ma prinde foarte des dorul de muzica experimentala.

Dar si cind ma prinde, merg pina in pinzele albe pentru el.
Dar am vazut in ziar o promotie la Icelandair, am muncit in plus niste weekenduri la servici si am citit in revista mea preferata despre un festival la Reykjavik.

Asa ca vineri, dupa ce …

Antigua – Verandah resort – shuttle ride from main pool to reception

Veradah Resort in Antigua has a special setting, with slopes along the rugged coast.

The resort  runs a shuttle continuously between the main lobby and the main pool. It is free and makes for a funny ride for kids.

We went there in March 2012 and will surely be back.

Now enjoy the ride:
