A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being an invited speaker the 3rd edition of the Conference on Recent Advances in Digital Humanities. The event was excellent, as expected, and my talk on LLMs and accessibility was warmly received. The real surprise, though, was discovering the city of Craiova and its Christmas market.

Craiova is quite far from my hometown, so I never managed to visit it while I was living in Romania. After accepting the conference invitation, I learned about the Christmas market and wasn’t sure what to expect. It turned out to be remarkable. It was voted the best Christmas market, and after seeing it, I completely understand why. There is even a flying Santa Claus. The market was crowded every evening, but I still managed to capture a few 360-degree photos of the main square.

Another pleasant surprise was that my photo album was selected to be featured on JAlbum.net.
