Our New Year´s Eve in Slobozia

Rebellion!!!

Oh, no... sorry... it´s just revelion. In fact I was really confused for weeks if it is "rebellion" or "revelion" or something else between.

"What is the name of your new year´s eve?" 

"Rebwfvlielion."

"Aaaah, okay."

For me, it was very interesting, because I didn't just joined a romanian "Silvester", I joined a romanian Silvester with a spanish tradition. A tradition with grapes, and you have to eat a special number in a special time. But see yourself (4:40 min):

 

So we, Dada and me (Miriam was in Germany), did this with our children of all houses, which was funny. Because the children stay at home at this special day, we made this tradition seperated in every house and following not at 12 o'clock. At 12 o'clock we went to the city center with the big children of Vila Marian. For Slobozia, a more or less little town, the professional firework was very nice. Directly after this, the kids and youngsters wanted to go back to the house... and there they celebrate a little bit (and a birthday by the way) before they went to sleep or the computer...

So much for that. If you want to celebrate the New Year's Eve in Slobozia, you have to go to a club or bar. So we drove to our local favourite pub to dance the whole night to Manele. Normally a few of them don't like Manele, the modern gipsy music, but I guess it's like the "modern folk music" of Germany: When you're drunk, you can have a lot of fun with it! My favourite quote of this night, after we asked if we can drink our bottle of champagne in this pub, maybe when we pay the price this bottle would cost there: "You have the bottle, I have the glasses."

But every party finds an end sooner or later, but in our case, the end had to wait a little bit more longer. In our taxi sits a guy, who invite us to another party. Of course we were a little bit sceptical, but curious enough to go with him. At the end we knew another good bar, had free drinks and the chance to dance a little bit more - NOT to Manele.

It was a good and surprising night for us.
