And the winner is…

A film of many stars, with great actors and a truly inspirational storyline, “The King’s Speech” has been running across cinemas in Romania for a few weeks already. It is great to see its international impact, and recognition by a very demanding industry. I really enjoyed it and laughed much more than usual!

I heard comments that the film is somewhat of a departure from the historical truth; well, I am not best placed to judge that, but clearly the history has much more substance and depth than a 90 min. cinema script. And so we are organizing between 1-7 March a daily ontest on our Facebook page to see who knows about the real story of King George VI and is quick to answer to win an Oxford dictionary.

Are you ready? Follow our daily question on Facebook to be the first one to win!

I joined the British Embassy in 2004, and have ever since
enjoyed one of the most diverse and challenging jobs as a professional
communicator, from partnering up with MTV Romania to promote the UN
anti-poverty agenda to handling Prince Charles’ press conference on a
hill top in picturesque Transylvania. One of the highlights working for
the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has been the introduction of an
internship scheme in the Embassy; we bring along students from various
backgrounds to help us deliver our objectives while they get a unique
opportunity to learn hands-on about diplomacy.
I am a former TV journalist, specialising in foreign affairs, and a
Fulbright scholar. I hold a Master of Arts in Information and
Communication Studies with California State University at Chico.
I am a major cafe latte fan and like to collect hand-painted icons.
My other hobbies include travelling and watching movies with friends,
particularly Quentin Tarantino’s. The latest memorable film I watched
was District 9, a superb science fiction with a social twist – anybody
seen it?
