Beans

Even if it is quite simple, is not very easy to properly cook beans with smoked pork, so when you get the opportunity to eat some, don’t skip it.

Woodwork

The wood creation he makes can be bought a couple of meters away. Perhaps a large wooden plate would be of use for product (food) photography.

Riverdance for St. Patrick Day

There are not many Irish people in Bucharest as there are neither many Irish business in the country, but the city is packed with Irish pubs, so no wonder the St. Patrick Day, the national day of Ireland, started to be celebrated here too with a parade. And at such a parade, the traditional Irish dance is a must.

However, the parade in Bucharest has its own twist: there are also groups performing traditional Romanian music, maybe some dance and such. I guess the beer is international and nobody would pass a celebration involving large quantities of beer.

Dragobetele saruta fetele

Standing for "Dragobete kisses the girls", "Dragobetele saruta fetele" is a photo exhibition hosted traditionally by the Village Museum in Bucharest (Dragobete is a Romanian popular tradition somewhat similar with Valentine’s Day).

This year I had again the honor to have a picture accepted in the exhibition and, even better, it received the 3-rd prize (is the same picture which received a prize in the Bucharest Art Photographer Salon 2014).

The exhibition is open until 9 of March (basically, for the entire “love spring” season: Dragobete, 1st March, 8 March) and the access is free.
