You know you’re in Eastern Europe when…

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

All females are wearing high heels, miniskirts and low cut tops at all times of the day
Leopard print is still in fashion
there is a street named after a date in 1989, ie. “31 August 1989”
there is a lot of fountains
Beer is cheaper than water and sold in 2L bottles
Every park and intersection has a giant revolution monument
People use trolley buses as the main form of public transport
The best thing your guidebook can suggest is to go to bars and clubs as the “nightlife is unbeatable”
Waiters and any service people are at best rude to you, or totally ignore you
There are flags everywhere, especially EU ones, even if the country is not, and probably never will be part of it
the currency has recently been revised by cutting off at least 6 zero’s
All people older than 25 speak Russian
most people younger than 25 want to leave
A large proportion of older people have their entire wealth in the form of gold teeth
You get the feeling that its still 1992

A few observations…I will add to I’m sure.

Transylvania-without the vampires

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Awhile ago I watched this truly awful movie called ‘Vlad” set in Transylvania about vampire hunting and weird things about Vlad…it was probably the worst movie ever, luckily in reality Transylvania is great! And not really at all dark and grim. And also really Dracula never existed, he was just based on some impaler from the 14oo’s called Vlad, however this doesn’t stop the whole area capitalizing on some of the worst souvenirs I’ve ever seen. Brasov the town I based myself in for the 5 days was this beautiful little town with old buildings and green hills surrounding it, even compleate with a bizarre Hollywood style BRASOV sign on the hill.

The hostel I was staying out turned out to be really nice and full of cool people, in a nice area, good rooms and a kitchen. Plus a free drink everynight and loads of DVD’s to watch.

When I arrived and dumped my stuff I took off for a walk down to the supermarket to grab some things for the standard pasta dinner. I ended up watching a DVD after dinner then I found Sam from Bulgaria who was staying at the hostel and we, along with a couple of Costa-Ricans, another english guy and a Taiwan/american chick headed out to find some fun, as it was Saturday night.

We stopped in a a Scottish pub for a drink then wandered along the streets in search of some places that weren’t closing down. Eventually we found a club down these stairs which must double as a strip bar as there were strategically placed poles everywhere, and to top it off, 2 semi-naked girls dancing on the bar. Not like dodgy pole dancing, just hanging out, wearing not much…it was weird. But you know, kind of funny so we hung around, danced a lot to strange music with a DJ who like to make comments in Romanian all the time. The place filled up pretty quick, with a lot of girls wearing very little and dancing on tables, we took the piss a wee bit and I am sure everyone there must have thought we were nuts.

After a few hours we were pretty shattered and headed back to the hostel to hang out in the basement bar where we all brought down our ipods and had a world music session, ending with me and Jack listening to Flight of the Concords and discussing how brilliant they were.

The next day was Sunday and while that really means nothing it was nice to have a lazy day. A huge group of us headed down to this amazing pastry shop for coffee and over-the-top pastries and cake, then me and Jack (the english guy) headed to the Scottish pub to find out when the closing ceremony for the Olympics was on, it didn’t start for a few hours so we wandered around a bit then went back and watched the crazy, massive closing ceremony for a bit. Once we headed back to the hostel we caught up with a few more people and watched another terrible Dracula movie called underworld, not as bad as Vlad but up there!. Then we all headed round the corner to this very Romanian restaurant for tea and shots of some strange plum liquor.

Back at the hostel we stayed up far too late playing stupid games while I tried to steer the conversation away from music. Somehow I always get trapped with english guys who are always obsessed with bands, also the 2 dutch guys who were just as obsessed with english music….really though its just like being at home with Rdoc and Michael Down and lets try out do each other with unknown bands, anyway, fun night and eventually made it to bed.

Bucharest

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Arriving into Romania, myself, Sam and Jess all split off towards our different hostels. Already the train station was a lot more developed than Bulgaria, it was big and busy and lots going on.
