Third time's the charm

Welcome back, everyone! In about an hour and a half, I'll be leaving for my third trip to Romania. And as you can see, I'll be blogging again. This summer I'll be spending six weeks in Romania; three weeks in Bucharest to do research on the history of psychoanalysis in Romania and a three week intensive language program in Brasov. This time around I'm much more prepared (I have a place to stay, a bank account that will work in Romania, a Romanian cell phone, etc.), so I expect things to go much more smoothly.

I've retitled the blog for this summer. Ora a Treia e Vraja is my rough translation of "the third time's the charm." I'm not sure if Romanians have a similar saying, but I'll ask around and get back to you on that. Remind me if you don't hear anything about it in the next few posts.

Because I'll only be in Romania for six weeks, this trip promises to be very busy. Nonetheless, I'll do my best to see some new things and places and make time to post some interesting and entertaining reflections for you. As always, comments are very much appreciated!
