Prologue

Having it both ways. “Having your cake and eating it too” as the Americans put it. Romanians seem to have other things on their minds “ sa fii si cu dansa intr-ansa si cu sufletul in rai” which would approximately translate: “to be both with it inside it and with your soul in heaven”.

Anyway, back to having it both ways: maybe this is what this trip is about. Testing the “what if we took the other route” hypothesis. In at least two respects: as emigrants and as reasonable, focused, goal-oriented, purpose-driven citizens. For at least six months, turn the switch and try to be the non-us, so we can have it both ways.
