Three members of our team were present. Antonio,Rebeca and Dora were about to arrive later in the evening. Adria,Patricija and I met our faciliator Roxana at 10 am.
We took the tram to the city center to open a bank account. The price of the ticket is 2 lei's, which is 45 euro-cents and he ticket is valid for 60 min.
It took ages to open a bank account due to local byrocracy. Spent few hours for sure there. We have a Romanian bank account now,but we are getting a card after 3 months because.. well.. thats the policy here. To get money,I need to go to the office with My ID.
Antonio,Rebeca and Dora arrived later on Monday evening,so We had all our team together now.
On Tuesday We went together with Roxana to the town again to open a bank account for the rest of us and aswell get a Romanian phone number from Vodafone. Another eternity of time spent,but got it done.
Rest of the week We were meeting the people from the organisation,getting to know each other and the place and the people involved etc.
We are not getting the bicycles yet though because most of them were previously stolen from the student campus. We need to wait until older volunteers leave,which is during this week,so We will get their bikes.
On Friday We made a pairs and had a game to discover the town.I was by lottery paired with My roomie Adria. We had to interview random people in Arad and take photos of local attractions and important places etc.. Happened to have an interview with a principal of the local college.
By the weekend,the older volunteers are organising a welcoming-party for us!
