I'm starting to run dry with my funds. Obviously I have to do something about it before it happens. I have couple of options: get a job, volunteer or go back to Finland (and find a job there, too, eventually). I found out there's a possibility of potentially getting to volunteer in a hostel in Malta which seems like an attractive place, but what draws me back to Finland, on the other hand, is that my friends are going to a cottage for New Year's.
Luckily Romania is cheap, so I can stay here for a while, especially when couchsurfing. I was planning on going hiking to the Apuseni National Park, but I looked at the forecast, and it looks like raining all the time through Monday to Wednesday, which wouldn't make for a too pleasant hiking experience. That means I'm probably staying here in Oradea the whole time until Friday when there's going to be some action here on Romania's national day with some familiar dudes.
Talking of which, guess who I met here?
Excuse my face, I don't know what I'm doing with it.
Frigging
!
And his crazy Romanian friends to whom I like to refer as 'bunch of fucking crazy Romanians'. (Also including Guy. What am I kidding, just put everyone into the category.)
Aaaaaand as you can see, we went drinking - it seems like their favorite activity.
The slogan of my venturings have formed into "I have no idea what I'm doing." People usually like to ask where I'm coming (that I can usually answer, even in Romanian now: "eu sunt din Finlanda"), but when people want to know where I'm going... It's a bit of a challenge, because sometimes I barely even know myself where I'm gonna be in three days. I prefer keeping my options open and leaving some room for spontaniouty. My mom already wants to have an estimate time of my arrival back to Finland, so she can arrange food stuff, yet I'm not even sure if I'm going back to Finland in the first place. Our personalities always clash like this, it's funny.
In any case, I need to make the hike happen at some point, I've already purchased bunch of food, and I've dragged my camping gear all the way here, yet only having used it once. Not to forget the fact that the nature here is one of the main attractions of this country.
Well, once again: tomorrow will get me one step closer to the answers.
Later.
