2009/02/03-04 first impressions

5 minutes in bucharest and already breaking the law!
after being annoyed by all the cab drivers at the airport, i jumped onto a bus to ride to the city. well, on the bus i figured that i had not bought a ticket yet [!], and therefore i asked a nice lady for help. she not only told me what to do, but also that i was going outside of the city. so i was sitting there, being afraid to be caught without a valid ticket on a bus that was going in the wrong direction. a classic.
thanks to people's helpfulness i figured out both in the end.

after finally arriving i dedicated a major part of my city trip to the historical center; if there is such a thing, anyway.

the old monuments can mainly be found between the piata unirii and the piata victoriei; i walked along all different 'bulevarduls' and passed by the university,



..the atheneaum,

and the arcul de triunf.

culinarily speaking i discovered cafépedia,

..where they have about 3o different kinds of hot chocolate with the consistency of pudding *awesome*.

i also followed the recommendation to have lunch at the famous caru cu bere, which has both impressive cuisine and interiors.
