Location: lobby of the library Time: first day of class, early morning
Me: “Hi, I’m wondering where the schedules are.”
Woman: After a few moments of giving me a blank stare, “They’re right in front of you.”
Me: “No, I’m in the english section.”
Woman: “Yes, they’re right in front of you.”
Me: “But this is in Romanian.”
Woman: In a very rude and loud tone, “Yes, but the streets are in Romanian too! You’re lucky it’s not Chinese!”
I’m here for the next six years insha’Allah. May Allah be with me.
Disclaimer: Most of the people I’ve encountered are nice. The taxi drivers (minus the few con artists), the random people on the streets helping my lost soul, the shopkeepers… all are very nice and this country has its own beauty.

Its a serious adventure…your actually soo lucky, CRAZY EXPERIENCE!!
It’s making me appreciate a lot of things I’ve taken for granted in the past and it’s helping me grow and be more patient, so Alhamdulilah, the bumps on the road ain’t nuthin!
