Second Day in București
Second day in București. Awesome weather, delicious food, un-fucking-believably tasty wine and you know what? The city actually looks a lot better than I thought I’d ever see it..!
Alright, my internet connection is pure shit —I have to do most of the work offline and then hunt for a hotspot where I can transfer more than a kilobyte per century— but otherwise, it’s all good ;)
A little bit of FUD, whatever was left in my memory about the visit two years ago and a shitload of the stress I accumulated on my 21-hour long trip made me bitch about… pretty much everything for a while, but then I went out and walked around the center of the city for a couple of hours. And got surprised, pleasantly, by the way the city has changed in such a short amount of time! Lots of new shops, open terraces, even tattoo shops, the roads are a lot better —although the traffic almost beats the nightmare back in Tokyo— and the streets are cleaner, there’s still a lot of green all over the place… What can I say? Next time I won’t criticize before I actually see it with my own eyes :)
I’m actually starting to re-like my city…
And on top of it, there’s even a Hard Rock Café!!! Who would’ve thought, Hard Rock Café in București?!? Wow, I gotta go there, like, tonight!!! Priority number one, and the camera goes with me, so next time I manage to connect properly, I’ll show you some pics too ;)
Surprisingly, I don’t miss Tokyo yet but no, no worries, I’m not gonna move back here ;)
Gotta go have some more of that wine now!
Thanks for reading!
Really cool. What can one say? Who are the three dudes on the left of you and Pepe in the picture? They look stone cold. Do they work for the government? Cheers and all the best!

Hahaha, I can’t remember :D Something to do with the coup d’état in 1989, a monument dedicated to those who fought there..? It’s kinda blurry, I can’t remember the details…
I had some photos taken in the same spot, at night, a few years ago… but I can’t find them. If I do, I’ll put ’em up somewhere ;)
