Not cool

I guess I'm not cool anymore 'cause I stopped smoking, breaking hearts and letting others break mine. I'm not writing about emptiness because I don't experience it anymore. I don't really understand parties every weekend or spending £60 for the good stuff. I don't even bother thinking about it. I have absolutely no intention or desire to hurt myself, others, nor surround myself with people who want to do that ! I've learnt not to show others more than they can understand of me and love them for who they are, not for who I want them to be. So you, in your skinny jeans and long hair, silently puffing your joint, I know you will judge me because you're still looking for yourself. I guess I'm not cool anymore because all I want is love and be loved back in the simplest, uncomplicated ways. Thank you 2015 for making me understand life is too short to be spent over negative feelings or ways to kill yourself (smoking is one of them). Just so you know my level of uncoolness, sometimes even leafs falling make me feel lucky to be alive and bring tears to my eyes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that everything is just a choice... Whoever you are, you can have anything you want, so careful what you wish for 'cause this is what you will attract. Enjoy The Change or The Cool Unhappiness x

Lidl

Just when I was thinking about fighting for the human rights, defending refugees and immigrants, a "lady" interrupted my thoughts by swearing at me in the supermarket for not hearing when I apologised to get past her. And she kept on and on and on... And it was clearly something else. I understand how you might be upset for someone passing by (??????), but it might just be unhappiness manifesting in awkward forms: you decide that a fly landing on that pineapple is completely unacceptable, the woman who you don't know and never will is wearing a horrible tacky dress, London Eye is completely useless and your neighbours are vulgar for playing Rihanna at 9pm, how dare they! Seriously don't get a life, get a psychologist rampampampam #thingsyouwantedtosaybutneverdid

Tu ce bei de dimineata?

In afara de tuica, bere sau apa mai e ceva ce are sens sa mentionez?   

Ma tot suna mama si-mi spune sa beau lamaie pe stomacul gol, ma suna atat de des incat am inceput sa fac asta.  Am inceput sa fac asta atat de des incat am aflat beneficiile, asa ca am decis sa scriu un mini articol. DE CE SA BEM LAMAIE PE STOMACUL GOL :

Vitamina C
Mentine nivelul PH-ului din corp
Rol de detoxifiere
Previne formarea acneei si a ridurilor
Vindeca raceala obisnuita
Contine potasiu, calciu, fosfor si magneziu
Dizolva sarurile acidului uric
Dupa sala e binevenita, bine primita pentru ca ajuta la refacerea rezervelor de saruri din corp
Elimina toxinele din sange, deci iti curata tenul si te face mai frumoasa, dar nu si mai desteapta si in niciun caz mult mai bogata

Dupa ce bei lamaie, spala-te pe dinti. Da. Exact. Pentru ca nu te-ai spalat inainte sau pentru ca lamaia iti distruge smaltul. Mai zic fetele ceva si de abdomen plat, fara balonari toata ziua. O jumatate de lamaie stoarsa si chinuita cu lingura intr-o cana cu apa calduta si o sa incepi si tu sa scrii articole despre asta.

Camp in Vama Veche, Romania, on the nudist beach. Go on a boat with fishermen, dance with your feet in the sand and even go scuba diving!

Vama Veche is a place for open-minded people, located at the border between Bulgaria and Romania on the shore of the Black Sea. An empty beach in the 1980s that became the bohemian place to go, where people gathered to play folk by the fire and over the years shifted into a very popular destination with clubs, hotels, music events, but still manages to preserve its unconventional and traditional nature. The fishery is always serving fresh food provided each morning by the local fishermen whom you can join on a boat if you want to experience this adventure. Camping is for free on the beach or if you prefer staying locally in one of the old houses, either way prepare for stories to unfold and to make new friends. The laid-back scene has a nudist beach, scuba diving service and hosts numerous live events where people of all ages and lifestyles mingle.

The corner bar where you can buy shots at 3 lei only. Sambooka all the way!

How to get here

Take a train from Bucharest to Mangalia and prepare with snacks, as it is going to be a 3 and a half hour journey. After reaching your destination, there are mini buses arriving every 15 minutes from outside the station and you would need to head to Vama Veche for £ 0,5 per person only. You will get there in 20 minutes tops. Being on the train is always an adventure in Romania. I remember last time when two girls ( best friends) started chatting with two boys and ended up making each other cry and swearing. One of them had hair on her legs and thought she is smart because she had finished her uni. The other was just rude. Then a group started listening to manele on the phone while others were spitting sunflower salted seeds. Just behind us a writer was explaining the romantic movement to a drunken guy who was asleep. This is what you get only for a £10 ticket.

The old border

Vama Veche , which translates as “The old border”, is well known for its friendly atmosphere. It's becoming increasingly rare to find a non touristy location that has a nudist beach, where you can listen to good music, drink beer (which is served at £1 only) swim at sunrise with no clothes on or indeed wearing everything without being judged. Here nobody is judging. It is a common knowledge amongst locals and Vama Veche regulars that what happens in Vama stays in Vama. I remember one time I ran away from home with my tent and friends to get there and told my mum I'm in Bucharest. Just then a guy started shouting " I'M IN VAMA VECHE, MATE. VAMA VECHE, YES". Thanks, "mate"...

Accomodation

The accomodation can be very traditional or modern. If you choose to stay with the local people then the price is around £10/ night with a double bed included. Expect plastic flowers, tacky paintings and weird family photographs. Bonus: you get stories. The hotels are charging considerably more, but the advantage is that you can reserve rooms online, whereas the local people don't have any websites available. You will have to knock on their door and ask about availability. This is the price to pay for traditional authentic experience! If you're camping on the beach, the experience of watching the moon light on the water and listening to the waves is magical. However, loud music while you're trying to sleep is not magical at all, so try to camp on the far left or right corner on the beach, as it is more quiet.

The catch

Fishermen leave at 5 am and you can join them in exchange for a pack of cigarettes. They have interesting stories to share that you won't understand if you can't speak Romanian. This doesn't mean it will stop them from telling them, but at least you can enjoy the drinks. After, you can eat your catch at the fishery called “Pescarie”, where a little girl will try to sell you shells she collected all summer long. Sometimes, the visibility is very good and you can try scuba diving, snorkling or collecting your own sea treasures.

 

Clubs and night life

It is very rare not to gather by the fire on this beach. Strangers sit down to get warm while usually a bottle of drink is being passed on, a good opportunity to start talking to each other. However, if you want to stay with your own group and not socialise too much with the locals you can still enjoy the drink and people will be cool with that. Local shops are selling alcoholic drinks and cigarettes at a very cheap price and you can even go to the border with Bulgaria on a 20 minutes walk by foot to buy even cheaper booze. After this warm up, you have around 10 options to dance, one to try karaoke ( there is no entrance fee for any of them), but only three venues are offering you the dance in the sand experience. Nobody leaves until sunrise when it is common to jump in the water and celebrate the new day just beginning.
