Lapusna

Lapusna (pronounced "La-push-nah") was sold as a puppy to the neighbours of our hosts as a large guarding dog with a menacing bark and a fierce bite. I have never seen a friendlier dog. She does not care if the whole world comes in and only barks if you are eating something and not sharing it with her. She is absolutely useless but still is everyone's favourite here.

Commandments

Imagine that you get to visit another planet with a civilisation about 3,000 thousand years behind ours. What commandments would you give the people there if they asked you? Assume that they will try to keep them. You are not allowed to teach them how to make things, share technology, etc.

Getting home for dinner

Mihai (Michael) and Fulger (Thunderbolt) are in a hurry to get home for dinner.

Mihai's wife Floarea (Flower) bakes the best savoury pastries in the village. Whenever she brings us some they are hot and fresh from the oven and I cannot stop eating them until they are all gone.
