Bucharest
Every once in a while I come out of the bedroom in my very small apartment, where I've been enjoying a rerun of the West Wing where CJ just became Chief of Staff because Leo is in a coma, sit down at my computer to check my email, look out the window onto the back of a small block of pre-war flats, and realize:
Omigod, I'm in Romania! Bucharest! Eastern Europe! On purpose.
"Cool."
I used to do the same thing in Oklahoma City.
Only in OKC, I did not have subtitles in a mystifying language that everyone said was just like Italian, and everyone was lying.
In Oklahoma City, when this happened, I almost never added the word "cool."
Omigod. I'm in Bucharest! On purpose.
Ain't life amazing.
