>>Two of Romanian President Traian Basescu's most important overseas commitments since being sworn in: paying his and the nation's respects during the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and meeting Tony Blair in London.

>>Happy 40th Birthday greetings go to Krishan George, whose surprise party at Barka Saffron culminated in a present he could never have dreamt of - a magnificently bred German mare, organised by his wife Monica and Dahlia Haritver and paid for by 100 or so of his closest friends.

>>Radu Ioanid, who is the Director of Archiving at the Washington Holocaust Museum, met the new Minister for Education Mircea Miclea, to discuss Holocaust awareness in schools.

>>Rupert Wolfe Murray, the producer of the prize-winning, British Embassy-funded film 'Mamaliga te asteapta' (eng. 'The land is waiting: Mihai's Story').

>>The great Francis Ford Coppola was here to have a snoop around the Piatra Neamt area for locations, but he also took the time out to talk to students at the University of Bucharest.

>>La Multi Ani goes to Dragos Diojdescu too whose birthday celebration was a decadent affair.

>>And while we're on the subject of parties, the Crowne Plaza's staff party held at the beginning of the year looks like a whole lot of fun.

>>Congratulations to Catalin Dica, who wins a dozen bottles of Prahova Valley Special Reserve wine, for winning Vivid's annual Christmas-New Year Quiz.

>>JD Crouch III, the US ambassador who has since been recalled to take up a position in national security with the Bush administration, at the Christmas party of Gata, Dispus si Capabil.

>>The Sofitel bade au revoir to Luc Gesvret and welcomed Bruno Vinette, who was GM of the Novotel at Moscow Airport. Vivid wishes both men, who have swapped roles, the best of luck in their new positions.
