I am spending August in Timișoara. A small town, boring for some, but for me, a haven of peace.

I am enjoying August, with maximum temperatures of 30 degrees, which, for someone used to a 45-degree August, feels mild.

I like the city. It’s small, walkable, and has lots of parks. It’s a beautiful place that was one of the first cities in Europe to have artificial light (one of the many curiosities you find on Wikipedia).

Without further ado, August is going well for me.
