Than when was difficult and appeared that I will be overcome, it helped me the conscious and additional energy that I’ve been added through the respect for an investment that was supposed to produce, for the beneficiaries of my work, for the money; and helped me a lot the Nature, that I cherish it and I see it like a representation of the divine energy.

It was a test for me, that I admit, I didn’t want it. But was a novel test of skill, physical force, organization, speed, attention on the details, passion for taste and originality, finding technical, logical solutions that solve problems with low costs.

These, combining with a good relationship with customers, with online services providers and with finding the efficient communication environments, had to drive to the conclusion that, in 7 months, my work, time and energy allocated in this direction, into a more complex context of activities, to arrive to be with rentability. Besides rentability, I had the satisfaction that the beneficiaries liked their holiday, the satisfaction of the sustainability and an important Award, in a domain where I hadn’t experience till now, tourism, accommodation.

~The life on the Earth is limited and whatever you do, cannot be extended; What is very important is that everything depends on you, to live intensely in time and space, if it’s possible, to be an example for those around you, to understand your designation and with passion and hope, following a fitted set of values, to try to accomplish; and all the time, to try to don’t live for nothing

This is the meaning that I have for my father’s words:

“The life cannot be extended. It is important to know to expand it”

Maramures is one of those places where time seems to stop, giving us time to enjoy the simple things.

You get to see the beauty of the nature, animals that children know better from books, simple people, cheerful, inviting you to be their guest and to give them the satisfaction to make you feel good.

Here you can see daily life, with all of the needs, almost the same for hundreds of years ago. Most of them, can be settled only by the nature: ” maybe will snow, because it’s good for the earth, but not so much to have floods; maybe will rain when is heat and drought; maybe the rain will stop when rivers are whirling ….”

Local people, pray for all of them and know how to say thank  for everything.

Maybe that’s why, Maramures, is one of those places where you can find spirituality in its pure form and even, you get to enjoy it.

Winter holidays have a special place into the heart of Maramures, because they are the ones that carry on and from very far, the traditions and the local customs.

Every year on December 27 in Sighetu Marmatiei, the Maramures hystorical residence, takes place “ The Customs and traditions Festival “. It brings together artists, writers, historians, ethnologists, representatives of the folk areas in Romania and abroad, people who love Maramures.

Speaking of people who love Maramures, one of them, who proved this many times is Miya Kosei, who says that Maramures is the place, “where he found a second home”

Miya Kosei was born in 1937 in Tokyo. He studied literature, art, history and ethnology, economics and sociology. He came first time in Romania in 1965. He likes very much Maramures and visited it hundred times. Many of his books and volumes of photos are dedicated to Romania and Maramures.

In December this year, at “The Festival of customs and traditions”, in Sighetu Marmatiei, at 86 years old, Miya Kosei announces publication of his new photo album about Maramures. This album will be released this summer, in partnership with the publisher Valea Verde ( Green Valley) from Sighet. ( the interview took by Mr. Cristian Fernea is in romanian language, the translation will be ready soon)

I would like in Maramures, everything that is nice and healthy, to remain. In most of all villages in Maramures, customs and traditions for hundreds of years ago, don’t happen only on holidays. There are part of the people’s everyday life.

How could it be that the “new” to be taken in the existed context and to harmoniously match the ” landscape”?
