After chocolate pancakes, it was about 10:30 and I decided I was going to walk home. I crossed the street into the park, and 3 seconds later a stray dog was running towards me. It passed me, then looped back behind me, then ran around in front of me. I said hi to it, froze in my place, and asked it to please not eat me. He listened, ran off to stand on 2 legs and drink out of the water fountain (I wish I had my camera at the ready!), and I decided that the dog was my cue to take a cab home.
This week has been fairly unexciting. Monday we did a lot of physio. It's great having someone else at my placement. We've been teaching each other a lot. She's been showing me how to do sports massage, and I've been showing her how we work with the kids. It's working quite well! Tuesday, I got shown my new placement. It's in the village of Sacale, which is 2 busses away. It's an old people's home called Christiana, and they seem really excited to have me. It will be a VERY different experience, but I'm looking forward to it. I start officially treating on Friday. Today we had a BBQ with the kids, so a pretty slow and uneventful day.
BUT. after buying a 70 bani nectarine (Bani is like cents, so parts of a lei. 70 bani is about equivalent to 23 cents), I met up with some of the girls to go to the Brasov Zoo. After an adventure getting there, like usual (I wish there was some way to actually learn this crazy bus system!), and not being able to actually find the entrance to the zoo, we were in, for 3 lei. It is crazy how close you can get to some of the animals, and the tiny bars they have separating you from their teeth. If I had a death wish, I definitely could have touched a tiger. There was the cutest baby deer who was licking my hand. I wonder if customs would take him away if I tried to bring him home...
Here are some animals!!!!!!
te iubesc,
