"Hi
Hi, asl pls
31 m Cluj-Napoca, Romania"
This was how conversations started on mIRC back when I was in highscool, in the late 90s and early 2000.
So, who am I?...
I'm the luckiest man in the world, and this is because of the 2 most important women in my life: my daughter, April, and my wife, Oana.
We live in Romania, in Cluj-Napoca. Some say it's the Silicon Valley on Transylvania. I just say it's a wonderful town, where lots of IT companies have established.
I encourage you to look my city up online, it's a great place to visit. I promise I'll personally guide you (I'm also a certified tourism guide).
What I intend to contribute to steemit with, are posts about my city and Transylvania, arts (my uncle is a great painter) and fun and interesting stuff and facts.
Many thanks to Richard Bennett @rbennett for the guidance. He's also a great painter, go ahead and follow him.
Below is my dearest work of art, a graphics in ink, by my uncle, Radu Rosian. I've started having tattooed parts of it a few years ago, and hopefully one day I'll have it all on my body. I consider it highly symbolic.
So... Hi everyone! I'm glad and proud to be part of this community.
Paul.
Hi! welcome to our community!
Thanks a lot!
Welcome to the fun, @paul.dobrila. Holy cow, Romania? That's awesome! One of the things I love about Steemit is that it's a truly international platform. Everyone can create, everyone can prosper. You've taken a big step into a new world, so make sure to enjoy yourself.
Ah, I too remember the days of the "ASL?" conversations online back in my high school days...fun times, great memories. :)
Thanks @modernzorker. Do you also remember the dial up tone, when connecting to the Internet? I was arguing with my parents, not letting them to use the phone after 8pm, so I can be online. Boy, these are great memories. You'vo got yourself a new follower. Stay tuned for amazing stuff from my country/city. It's so multicultural ;)
Heck yeah! Not only do I remember it, I remember having to stifle it so my mom didn't hear it and flip out that I was getting online at 1 o'clock in the morning. I had a laptop and an external modem, so I'd cover the modem with a pillow when I wanted to get online after I was supposed to be in bed.
I look forward to seeing more of your country through your posts. :)

Welcome to Steemit, Paul.
Romania eh? I travelled around there back in 2006, caught a train to Brasov and then met a girl in hostel there who was a photographer from Germany. We ended up driving thru the Carpathians together and getting in adventures ;)
Man, I miss those days of living out of a backpack..
