Only in Romania!

Here is a story:

As many of you know, my family and I live in Bucharest, Romania and things are done very differently here. (you can only believe this if you have lived here or visited and experienced it).
This year we did not have a white Christmas:( and did not get to go sledding:( So, another missionary family, the Klanseks, and us heard about this hill that had been made with fake snow. We did not really know what to expect, but we thought it sounded really cool and so we went there today to check it out. We had heard from another missionary family, who had gone there, that it was a blast!
When we got there, we were shocked by what we saw: a mass of people just standing on the hill, some trying to come down on sleds, some just standing and talking and some helping their kids get down. There was no rhyme or reason, just people doing whatever they wanted to. (which is not that surprising)
We joined the mass of people and tried (very hard) to come down, which was impossible because the snow was like powder and not very slippery at all.
Megan, Heather(her cousin) and I decided that it was pointless to try to go sledding so we decided to walk around and see what else there was to see while Hannah, Andrew, Evan, Erin, Michelle, and Caroline had fun in the snow! it was quite the experience, but we had fun.
After we had stayed there for about an hour, we went back to the Klanseks' house for dinner and games and had lots of fun together:)
