Nothing much to report really, other than I'm still here. Had a meeting, and had a phone call from a Very Very Big Cheese Indeed who was very gushing and enthusiastic and seems to think I'm very impressive (I suspect largely based on the introductory email I sent, which was largely full of correct Romanian thanks to my teacher at the language school who corrected my very incorrect original). Fortunately she's on holiday (as is the rest of the population of people I need to talk to - cultural norm = take all of August off and totally shut down everything, and never mind about poor English PhD students who need interviews) till the end of August, so I have a few weeks to work on being as impressive as she seems to think I am.
In other news, only 19 sleeps till I fly home for a holiday myself (if it's good enough for the Moldovans ...). Hooray!
