Few of those who left to work in Paris wish to stay there forever. They all ream to return home, but for the moment that's possible only for holidays. They are dreaming of returning to Romania and opening a local business in their home village, but on the other hand they are not ready yet to leave a steady income in Paris, where they are working in households or the constructions industry. It might be quite difficult to start a business in a village which is almost empty for 11 months a year, as everybody is only returningfor the holidays in August. That's when cars with foreign plates are clogging up the streets of the revived villages. It's weddings' season, because people here only marry someone from the same village and in order to accommodate that many weddings in a few weeks in August, weddings are held every day. The most expensive traditional musicians are called in and the weddings last a few days Slowly, as the summer draws to an end, everything becomes quiet again, people are going back to work abroad. The sounds of the parties are replaced by the sounds of a chainsaw or a cement mixer, overseen by the old ones left behind, who have been retrained from farmers to construction site supervisors.
