Anna's will was visiting Romania because it is so close to Sveshtari. We even tryed to measure the distance between two places in Istanbul airport. Somehow this idea reached to others and suddenly whole project members were aware to join with us. It is such a shame that Armenians and Seher couldn't join with us. Visa is so complicated thing! Italians dealed with accommodation, Turks with transport. And in our first free weekend we were ready to discover Romanian capital city. Our first stop was in familiar Ruse. We had an opportunity to exchange lev to leu. I love Romanian money so much, its design is increadibly beautiful. The border wasn't far from Ruse and I thought it would be quick driving over the border, but I was wrong. Two European Union countries but it took so much time to cross the border. We have reached to this point in Europe because of refugees problem. Sad, that those things affects everyday life. I definately adore and appreciate Estonian - Latvian - Lithuanian border way more now. You just drive through, nobody wants to control documents or car. We are also in EU, but we are far from the problem core 😋
When we finally crossed Danube river, it took us about an hour to reach Bucharest. Southen part of Romania was similar to Bulgaria. Of course you can see a difference. Firstly, latin alphabet, no more cyrillic anymore. Secondly, different villages and architecture style. Thirdly, cypsies. Wa had a small problem to find our hostel but at the end everything smoothed well. Our hostel was London-styled and really cosy. And now about the situation that pissed me off. How is it possible that we didn't book a room for bus drivers? And even bigger problem is that I got to know about that brutal incident in Sveshtari from our prof. This kind of things drives me mad, it's not a human way how to act. Okey, Italians didn't book a room, but Turks talked with chauffeur and still didn't do anything. I was quilty as well, I did't ask where bus drivers sleep. This feelings sucks. The city itself reminds me Tallinn because of old town area with bars. For me Bucharest is more beautiful than Sofia. Probably because of all the sights are located really closely. It is easy to find them. Of course it was simple in Sofia as well but there is some kind of impression that creates your opinion on something. And impression of Bucharest, for some unknown reason, was better than of Sofia. After visiting some beatiful buildings all together, we took time off in some kind of Irish eating place. Suddenly our group was diveded in two parts. Mustafa, Görkem and Ana decided to dine somewhere else. After that I went with Spanish guys to visit the parliament house. I didn't want to use a map, my brain navigation system worked pretty well on this time. Antonio didn't believe in my abilities but after our short walk we reached our destination point. We reunioned with Turks and Ana and went back to the old town area. Others ordered some drinks and then there was me. Sitting there and tryed to communicate with everybody. It was weird, I was kind of alone, without Estonians practically first time after 2 weeks time. It means that I couldn't speak in Estonian and I had to communicate woth others. Otherwise, I was used to talk with Anna and Heleri and pretend that our converstaion is so personal that it is impossible to turn it into an English. Even though we were speaking in English it was a safe choice to have Estonians beside you. Somehow I handled the situation. I wouldn't say I did it properly. If I get bored I start to manipulate and my evil side appears. Actually I am all the time bad person, I definately have too much free time 😼 Anyway, if I couldn't talk with Estonians I could write with my Estonian friends. After some drinks we went back to the hostel, stayed some time there and went to the McDonald's. I was schocked! It was pretty late and eating burgers on this time!? Not the healthiest choice. Spanish tryed to convince me that it is OK, but hell no. After fast food stop we started to find others from Bucharest famous beer restaurant. Ana helped us a lot, she asked a way from locals. We briefly went in and concerted our futher plans. We decided to go and order drinks from some kind of Rock bar. I love this place, cheap drinks and tasteful wine. Romanian wine has a genuine wine taste but it's still cheap. I don't know how it is not possible in Bulgaria. Guys ordered shots even stronger ones than absinthe. After a while Mustafa was quite drunk. He took my phone and started to text with my friend. It was interesting conversation and at some point Mustafa started to write in Turkish, though, even Görkem couldn't understand what was written there. Antonio and Hutman left us after a while and Italians & Estonians joined with us. After a refreshing time away from Estonians I still was sincerely happy to meet with Anna again. She totally needed me, I don't know when and where, but she had drunk already enough amount of alcohol. It is risky business if somebody is paying for your drinks. I won't reccomend it. It was my lesson from the night. After helping Anna to recover we continued our journey in Bucharest. We went to the club,s but suddenly part of our group vanished. Well, okey. We went from club to club, dancing like freaks. What happens in club(Bucharest), stays in club(Bucharest) 😆 Nothing really sensentional happened with me but I am solidary and won't publish all the information I have got from others. After another club dancing marathon we had enough with Anna. My brain worked hardly to get us out of the old town. I have never been happier to see Danube river than in this night. From there was really easy to reach our hostel but my legs didn't collaborate with my other body. Few times I really-really wanted to give up and just sit on the bench and not to stand up. Somehow, Anna motivated me and we reached our destination point. It was such a relief. I am proud that GPS-system in my head worked through complicated conditions. I was really afraid that I will forget everything that had happened (like in Sofia), so I wrote all the facts to my friend. In the morning, my first thought was "Do you remeber what happened yesterday?" Guess what? I remembered everything perfectly and it was funny to read my text full of typos. Definately Romanian wine advantage of Bulgarian wine is a fact that you don't lose your memory. Everybody was sleeping on their beds, that was a good sign that everyone maked it to the hostel last night. There was a surprise waiting for us in the bathroom. I started to brush my teeth when I noticed that something is wrong. The sink was broken and I had to brush my teeth on the bathtube, new experience 😅 After bathroom surprise we decided to go in the market with Anna to buy a breakfast. Marketing in Romania is way more homely than in Bulgaria. For example I bought kefir. Classic Estonian drink after rought night. Guilty pleasure. When Heleri was totally awaken we packed our stuff and went on shopping. We visited the main malls and relaxed around the parks. We dined in Carul cu Bere, where girls had their dinner yesterday. Really fancy place with live music. It was so weird to meet with other people. Nobody really wanted to talk about yesterday. Everyone remembered something from their point of view. For me it was funny evening and last time when I felt myself totally free. Our way back to Sveshtari was really sleepy. I don't remember, did Mustafa those "sleeping beaty" photos of Anna from this bus trip or from previous one (on our way back from Rock Churches)
