Ok, Don't take a night train into another country unless you're ok with getting your ass dragged out of bed at 2:30am for customs. Don't worry if they take your passport, they'll give it back before you get off the train. At least they were in a hurry. They wanted us to fill out a questionnaire about AL?? but they were in such a hurry, they didn't let Brian sign his.
They have a lot of stray dogs here in Romania. Its kinda weird and one has to wonder where they all came from. Maybe the fact that no one seems to nueter their dog has something to do with it?
Anyways, we are now staying at the Funky Chicken Hostel in Bucharest. So far I'm not pleased with the accomodations. The bed is lumpy and hard, the room is hot and airless and for some reason its really messing with my allergies. There is also no free breakfast or internet, though the staff is helpful and friendly. The people are ok too but are prone to staying up till 3am talking and drinking.
We ate at Burebista Vanatoresc (hunter's lounge), which serves mainly wild game such as bear, deer, duck and rabbit. Tonight, we ate at this Dracula themed restaurant called the Count Dracula Club (www.count-dracula.ro).
Tomorrow we head off to Brasov to the Rolling Stone Hostel. We're only staying one night and then move on to Kismet Tao Hostel.
Our budget is tight right now because we are saving up to go to Russia. To save money, Brian and I will be trying to go to Hostels that include breakfast and maybe dinner. For the meals that aren't provided, we are going to the local market and buying fruits, bread, cheese and Gatorarde where available (it is friggin' hard to find). We found that the cheap hostels are about $13 (10 euro) per person per night... and that's just for a bed in one of the dorms. So we're having to pay a min of $189 a month just for a place to sleep.
So if anyone would like to help us out, please donate or shop at our online store where we sell quality gifts for cheap prices. We also sell great swords for low prices. (What? I'm not above begging =P)
I'll blog more when we aren't paying for internet. Love to all.
Hey! thanx for the cookie dough and the yoohoo. Hope you're having fun, I want to go. I showed all my friends your store, they're going to buy all the weapons from you. Well good luck with the rest of your trip, this couch is really short.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Debbie wanted to say that we went to StoneCold today
What did you eat at the restaurant? A skunk? Took me all week to finish leftovers.
ReplyDeleteTarget, Chewy doing good. But they're obsessed - follow me everywhere just in case I give them a treat. Target wandered around the fence looking for you a couple days. Chewy was hyper about every noise for a while. Smoky was just a little scared of the girls. Smoky let everyone pet him but ran away when folks walked around. Slept happily under his tower!
Teri, Stef, Wendy had a fun but awfully short visit. Stef can't wait to meet Brian. Teri got a very very nice hair trim. Everyone wants to go to Disney.
Gene from north Florida came here to get the Ohio license plate. Debi wasn't home. What a confusion! Told him he was talking to Aunt Kathe from South Carolina and didn't know what the heck was going on. But Teri remembered Gene from the wedding and I found Deb on the phone. Of course, the plate was sitting right on her desk!
Hope y'all are having fun!
