Romanian skying in the capital

Posted on 29 January 2010 by Codrin Arsene

One of my fellow citizens had an amazing idea: he decided to sky in the capital of Bucharest, literally in the middle of the road. This short clip made waves in Romania and I think it’s pretty interesting to watch. How would you like to sky in the heart of your city?

Posted on 26 January 2010 by Codrin Arsene

90 people lost their lives in a EA plane crash two days ago. My most sincere condolences go to the families affected by this tragedy. It is only the third fatal accident in Ethiopian Airlines’ history, the largest airline in Africa.

This commercial totally reminds me of Maasai people in fake tourist villages all over Kenya and Tanzania. Kudoz to Africa is a Country.

Antena3.ro, one of the main news sites in Romania comes up with a second political promo which is worth mentioning both for its political message and its quality. The message is simple: Romania has been abandoned by its leaders who are only fighting for power instead of dealing with the read problems Romania is facing (political crisis, the economic crisis, deficit etc). This is also the message stated at the end of the promo. The rest can be appreciated by anyone looking at this promo whether you speak Romanian or not. In addition, this product can be extended to a large number of African states where those in power have abused their prerogatives in similar ways. And, with similar consequences.
