On Arrival Training

In the previous week, all the european volunteers that live in Romania, were present to a training about "Non-Formal Education".

This "Youth Exchange" inside the EVS took place in Busteni, a small village 3 hours far, by train, from Bucharest.

The event was amazing!
We were sleeping in a hotel 3 stars with a double room for each volunteer, party every night, incredible food and sessions very detailed and constructive.

This week passed so fast between a workshops and activities, talking about Romanian culture, how to travel in Romania, the role of the volunteer and of the bodies in an EVS Project, etc.

Around 80 volunteers were present from all over the Europe.
I would like to talk about something more specif, but the most part of my memories is deleted by parties of the training.

The curiosity of Busteni is not the village, cause is quite small and actually is just the main street to be considered the village of Busteni, but the landscape that you can find there,
The city is quite famous for skii and the Iron Cross, tall around 40 meters, on the top of the montain that shine during the night and is visible during night from the village.
The best attractives of the city were the Monastery, a peaceful place under the montains, and the Castle.
The first is for free ( but I don't know if you can enter inside ) and about the castle, you have to pay 5 Lei for the Garden, good but small, and 25 for enter inside the Castle with the touristic guide.

After the Training, some volunteers, went to Brasov.
When I arrived there, I understood why people say that Brasov is the heart of Transilvania.
An incredible place divided by hills and 2 city centre, one old and one modern.
I discovered also that in Brasov there is a write very similar to the one present in the hill of Hollywood.

There was some of my friends that helped us a lot founding the accomodation and showing us the city.
I'm really appreciatiating how the people in romania is very different from the people usually use to think and beeing so sociable.
