Romania

Introduction

On August 5^th, 2010 we arrived in Bucharest, Romania to start work at the American International School of Bucharest. I will be teaching IB Chemistry in the high school, David will be starting 3^rd grade, and Devin will continue her amazing and much under-appreciated job of house manager. (She might also do some work at school…that’s yet to be determined.) This page will chronicle, in some fashion, our lives in Romania. As intrepid world travelers, I will continue to post on our Travel Page any significant trips we make. Therefore, this page will focus on anything within Romania. I’m not sure how I’ll organize things yet, so bear with me. In Thailand, I started with reports of the first few days, then cut back to focus on major issues, while blogging about more “everyday” stuff. I’ll probably continue in a similar pattern, except you won’t see here the massive focus on the first few days. Since this is our second time moving to a country previously unknown to us, we feel like veterans. The massive amount of “jaw wide open, chin on the ground” adjustments just didn’t happen. Don’t get me wrong. We’re still incredibly excited to learn new things in Romania. It’s just not quite as ground-breaking as Thailand, since we’ve done this once before.

So follow along as you can. And as always, feel free to drop us an email to say hello.
