Introduction
Welcome to the Wild East! Everything is possible. Everyone in business lies. It's hard to learn the language because everyone says "Thank you for letting me practice my English" And most of your homeworld friends think you're someplace exotic.
What are your hobbies/interests?
Overcoming being a professional ex-pat. Wishing for the microchip brain implant for the language. And "Wanna see my slides of Europe?"
What do you hope to obtain as a member of our Meetup group?
New friends for whom I do not have to translate or explain the joke. A community of folks who also think it's amusing and amazing to watch someone walk her cow down the city street. Or to walk her cow at all for that matter.
In two words, how would you best describe Bucharest?
Cowboy! Suspicious.
What brings you to Bucharest?
What brought me back to Romania was a consulting contract with Sensiblu. What keeps me here (Now as FireBrand-an official Romanian company WITH A STAMP) is the exciting business ops, and that I'd waste all my newly learned Romaneste elsewhere.

What Shelly R is saying about this Meetup Group
Well, don't, if you hate fun, nice, friendly helpful people with some of the craziest, most hysterical stories you can use to thrill and amaze your friends and family back home to prove what a true "internationale" you are, living in such exotic places as (gasp) Eastern Europe. Stay home by yourself, feeling lonely and whine to your friends back home about how hard it is to live here as an expat. They're sure to agree with you. Me too, when I first got here.

Once again, hoping for info for permanent stay
