Selgros anyone?

This evening my family went to a store like Sam's, which has just opened in Iasi. It's a German company called Selgros (no, it does not mean Sell gross). We stood outside in line for a long time until we found out that the card we need can only be received through a business or foundation. In other words, a ordinary person cannot just get a card and go inside. We were quite disappointed because it would have been the largest and cheapest supermarket in town for shopping. The other one is several miles outside town and we are carless. At least with Selgros we are able to ride the bus there and come home by taxi. We should be able to get a card through our association. We are expecting two more super stores to open very soon, so we are excited about that. These two will not require cards for entry.

I don't have my glasses

This morning I was at the bank waiting for someone when a Romanian man approached me and asked if I would fill out a form for him. He said he couldn't see the form without his glasses. I said sure, but at the same time hoping that the person I was waiting for would appear. I almost told him to ask someone else since I was a foreigner, but I decided to do what I could. I managed to fill it out as he gave me the information he needed. I told him at the end that I hoped that I filled it out correctly because I am foreigner and told him where I was from. He said that he noticed. My accent and my the questions I asked while filling out the form gave me away. Once again he explained that he did not have his glasses. Knowing that he was probably apologizing for bothering me, I told him "Cu placere am facut asta" ("With pleasure I did this"). He shook my hand and went on his way. It's the little things like this that makes it a joy to be a child of God and his missionary on earth.
