It was summer and the traffic was dramatic. 2007 was the year that made even the most suspicious person realise that the traffic in Bucharest is and will remain crazy. The meeting was set at one of the “nice” areas of the city and I went together with a colleague of mine. My driver... »

Why Spain will be one of the key markets for Romanian Real Estate sector Back from Madrid… What an experience was this one! A lovely city and an interesting market were my rewards for choosing to be there. SIMA exhibition can become much better in the future, we have to admit this, but still it had... »

Buenos Dias from Madrid. I guess that we are cursed this week, as it is the fifth day in a row with clouds and rain. For me this is not a problem at all, but the people around me are a bit upset. The exhibition is more and more interesting. Not in terms of... »

Yesterday things were much better than the first day. More people, more interesting meetings, plus some nice surprises. At first, a meeting with one of the top Romanian businessmen in Real Estate, who knew almost EVERYTHING I have written here in this blog! (I can not deny that I like this when it happens,... »

Hola from rainy Madrid (I love this city even if it would rain forever). Yesterday we were all day in the exhibition, the same that my colleagues and me will do today and the next days. I heard and I did not know that Madrid is the second largest Romanian city in the world.... »

SIMA exhibition has started yesterday and I can not really say that I am fascinated by it. Of course “Hope dies last” as we say in Greek, but the first signs are not exactly satisfying… • The organizers have forgotten something. Based on what happens here, I guess they had in mind to give to every... »
