Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

A really successful businessman… Sunday afternoon, in Radu Beller area, Bucharest. The coffee places are half full, thus lots of parking lots are available.

Memories from Munich - EXPO REAL

Friday, October 10th, 2008

My interview in “Adevarul” newspaper

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

On Tuesday “Adevarul”, one of the biggest newspapers of Romania, had an interview of mine. I guess because the journalist there had interviewed me in the beginning of this year and what I told her about the market happened exactly as our discussion was then.

Romanian Real Estate market, Autumn 2008

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

With a good price, you get a deal. With a huge price, you (might) get a… meal “What happened, did you find anyone, damn you?”. It was 06.32 in the morning and I had forgotten my mobile switched on. The sound of the sms woke me up (good sign, means I was not snoring…) and I... »
