My office is located in the historical centre of Brasov. A regular lunch-break would consist of a walk towards Strada Republicii (the main pedestrian area) to buy there a bag with delicious Fornetti*. Not yesterday however. Upon lunch-time smoke began to fill the editorial room. Feeling hungry, our first thoughts focused on 'having a barbecue', but it turned out that one of our neighbours had suffered a short-circuiting. Flames had already started to consume the roof, before the firefighters arrived (and within its wash no less than three television-crews).And yes, also in Romania they know the meaning of 'ramptoerist', within 5 minutes the narrow street was filled with spectators. In the end, this was a clear case of news 'to be found on your doorstep'.

2004: three months in Brasov. Crash course Romania. A taste of journalism. Mountain air. An attempt to blog. 2008: I'm spending six months in Arad, working as a volunteer for Millennium Center. Cultural Clusters to be discovered. The quest for a blog continues.
