I come from Timisoara, Romania, Eastern Europe...and I speak Romanian, a Romance language, really! Here's a sample of it ... some translated.

What I like changes from day to day...  in my most subdued moods I like ikebana, Tagore's poetry, Vermeer 's paintings, moorish architecture,
green tea , tibetan carpets, and Erik.
In the less subdued ones I like  flamenco , Van Gogh, Michelangelo, art deco, and  Erik .
