Not everything is as it seems. What Roumania looks like for French people, or German, or englishmans? We look like a normal comunist country. Yes! I'm from Roumania and I want to run away. Don't get me wrong, but I need to go away! I am seek to stay hours and hours to get some food. I'm afraid to speak about my plans of escaping with anyone. What if they are from Secret Sevices? I would be dead in less than one day.
But I have a few friends. They live in another parts of this country and we meet everytime we go to the mountain. We love spending our time above the clouds, and the people and the problems. When we are climbing we feel free. I'm from Brasov, witch is a city surronded by the mountains. Everyday when I wake up I can see them with their peaks and their beautiful forest. They are my everting.
I'm a primary school teacher and a swiming trainer. I realy love my jobs, maybe this is the only reason why I remain here, in Roumania. I would love if you would come here, but you are not aloud. As we are not aloud to go in anouther countrys.
So, after I finished my collage, I decided that I can not live in a country that everting is fobbiden. I just can not! I really want to turn on the T.V. evertime I want and I don't want to hear just about Nicolae Ceausescu, our president ( or Cup of tea, as everybody calls him beacuse Ceasca means cup) . And the only thing that I can do now is to run away. Even if taht it is a riscky stuff. If someone from the border will see me, he will shout me imediatlly. No wornings, no chances to survive. Only die.
So, because of that, me and my friend ( not my boyfriend) Bobi decide that we must take our chances and run away. And we had a rule: if one of us is shout, the aother one will be abandoened. Easy to say, hard to do.
We had a plan. Everything else was about the fate.
