Chemical Brothers. Lately I�ve copped a fair bit of criticism about my journal.� I was asked to remove the section about the priest hitting his son because of he had forgotten a bottle of vodka.� My colleague felt that it would create a negative impression of Romanian Priests.� Perhaps it does, but this was not my intention.� I wanted to illustrate that in my society, one person that a child could trust never to hit them would be a priest.� (Please, no Catholic jokes)� When I tried to explain this, he replied, �But it is his child.�� Again, the cultural differences.� I believe a child is just as much a part of this world as an adult and should be respected as such with the same rights.� I am not trying to say that the society and culture that I grew up in are better.� Just different, and my journal is merely the descriptive observations that one makes to illustrate this. To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. Elbert Hubbard. On several occasions I have also been told that my journal creates a negative impression of Romania and could not be used to entice other trainees to come.� Now that really pisses me off.� I admit my journal is by no means a promotional site, but I try my best to display the truth in a positive light.� I guarantee if it was not for my journal there would be a handful of Australians who still couldn't place Romania on a map.� Surely education is a positive thing.� If the Aiesecers persist in trying to "trick" trainees into coming then they shouldn�t be surprised when they all leave without fulfilling their contracts.� Surely the well-educated trainee who has read the truth and still wants to come is a better prospect.� This would also achieve greater satisfaction amongst the companies invloved.. Mustafa Kemal Attaturk. So where does the future for Romania lie?� Well that�s a tough one.� No one yet grasps the concept of a market economy.� NATO and EU membership will help but what this country really needs is a generational change.� But which generation.� You ask 90% of the youth if they would like to lead a change and they reply with �Who am I?� I am just one person?� I can�t make a difference.�� The other 10% are more concerned about obtaining an MBA in the US in search of freedom, liberty and wealth.� Can you blame them?
