    The funniest thing for me is that everything bad that happens, is considered “good luck”.
    Tread in dog poo = good luck,
    spattered with bird poo = “good luck”,
    fall in the mud = “good luck”

    Now let me explain you what is with "curent". If you open a window in your house it;s ok, but when you open the second window and nothing is between them, now the wind gets stronger, that is curent! So, if you stay in that strong wind, it means you stay in curent. So why romanians are scarried about "current" (this strong wind) is because (and i see this at older generation) teeth health is not that good, so when sitting in this "curent" they fell like their teeth hurt. And what they feel it;s true, this really happens. Other people may fell their head hurts, which is also true, exposing yourself on a strong wind, that can otherwise be avoided may affect some people. Many old people put cotton wadding in ears so they won't be affected by this wind. Now for this people this is not supersition, they do fell pain for exposing to "curent". I never heard of being infertile or affecting your spirituallity in any way. And i lived and travel in many places in Romania.

      One response could be that brains are a bit fucky, and sometimes they make you feel things you don't really feel to protect you, ie: that your head hurts when the windows of the car are open, not because they are open, but because your brain has been fed that something bad is supposed to happen, so it simply makes up the feeling since it thinks "I must just not be feeling it so let me make it myself so they know something bad is happening" instead of "I'm not feeling anything, so nothing is happening". Something similar like this happened a good while ago in a school in the US actually where the students were told that some gas pipe broke and was leaking into the school by someone, and this spread to everyone but they still went to school. Since their brains thought now that there was gas building up in the school, it started simulating the feeling of inhaling bad gasses which resulted in many from the school going to the hospital with symptoms akin to gas inhalation but being found that they'd inhaled nothing, simply because the brain *thought* it was inhaling gas and when it saw it didn't feel anything it instead simulated the feeling of inhaling gas to make sure the person knew they "were inhaling gas" so they'd get out of there.

On the road were stands and vans with all kinds of foods and on the sides of the road there was just grass, trees, chairs and tables. There are also some parks nearby and everything I've talked about is right next to the south train station. And to be honest it looked magical during the night with all the dimmed lights and colorful leds when the concerts ended and everyone just chilled wherever they could sit.
