Christmas 2008 World Record - Bucharest















































In 2008 a total of 3,939 red and white clad people gathered in front
of the parliament building in Bucharest.
Watched by a representative of Guinness World Records,
they paraded through the city handing out gifts.
When the record was confirmed, Ms Sinigagliesi
 presented a certificate to the mayor, to delight of the massed Santas.
The event easily broke a previous record of 3,618
simultaneously gift-giving Santas, set in Taiwan, in 2003.

In 2008 la Marşul Moşilor organizat şi sponsorizat de Coca Cola şi de
Primăria Capitalei au participat 3939 de moşi, care au dăruit dulciuri timp de 30 de minute,
 îndeplinind astfel condiţiile impuse de Guinness World Record.
Reprezentantul Guinness venit special pentru acest eveniment în Romania, Lucia Sinigagliesi,
a omologat recordul şi i-a oferit primarului diploma care certifică acest succes.
Românii au depăşit pe locuitorii din Taipei, care au deţinut până acum recordul
cu 3.618 de persoane îmbrăcate în Moş Crăciun.

Remember December 1989 - Romanian Revolution


România a fost singura țară din blocul estic care a trecut printr-o revoluție violentă și în care conducătorii comuniști au fost executați.
Statisticile victimelor revoluției din decembrie 1989 potrivit Ministerului Sănătății (aproximativ):
1104 morți și 3321 răniți (221 civili și 663 militari).

The Romanian Revolution of 1989 was a week-long series of increasingly violent riots and fighting in late December 1989 that overthrew the government of the totalitarian president Nicolae Ceauşescu. After a trial, Ceauşescu and his wife Elena were executed. Romania was the only Eastern Bloc country to overthrow its government forcefully or to execute its leaders.

What If God Was One of Us
































































If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question
And yeah , God is great yeah , God is good

If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in Jesus and the Saints and all the Prophets
What if god was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Like a Holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the Pope maybe in Rome...

Joan Osborne / What If God Was One of Us lyrics
