Locomondo – Liubi, Liubi, I Love You versus Loitoma Leva’s Polka

Posted in Music, News, Video by Teo

Is it just me or do you think that the Romania Eurovision 2007 song Liubi, Liubi, I Love You sounds like the old Leva’s Polka Song?

I’m not a musician, but I think these two songs have something in common. I do not say that is a 100% plagiarism, but hmmm…… something will be fishy in… Finland!?

Bill Gates

Bill Gates, the founder of US giant Microsoft, will pay a visit to Romania in early February. This would be Gates’ first visit to Romania, ten years after Microsoft first opened a branch here in 1996.

Bill Gates will mark the launch of the new Windows Vista on the domestic market, and will visit the Centre for Technical Support that serves clients in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Happily this Microsoft Centre is very close to my workplace so maybe, I will be lucky enough to see him. 😉

The longest lifespan reported for a captive elephant was 52 years. It was recorded at the Sidney Zoological Garden in Australia. It is common for a wild elephant to live as much as 70 years.
