More Transylvania








On our journey into the mountains we passed a car boot sale in a field literally in the middle of nowhere, except being deep in the countryside this was more a 'horse and cart' sale. I bought some local headgear, painstakingly woven from a sheep, so we would blend into our surroundings without raising suspicion.

Time for some plastic surgery



For those reading this in Shoreditch Dr. Staicovici is Bucharest's equivalent to Gary's Bar. This is basically a basement in a villa in an affluent part of town which has been converted into a rather great bar. As to the legality of it, well I really don't know, but in a country like Romania bending the rules is a subject top of the curriculum and taught in junior school.

However it came to be I really don't care because it's one of my favourite places in town. Most venues here attract a specific type of person, be it the Fitze brigade (footballers wives, Romanian style), or the sunglass at night young club kids, you are always reminded you are in Bucharest. Walk down into the basement at Dr Staicovici and you could be in any capital city in Europe, the crowd diverse, individual and clued-up.

So I'm looking forward to celebrate the birthdays of two good friends here and play some records, finally, with Mr Tom Wilson who is also living here from England and plays a great selection of music that you just don't hear that often in this town.

Found on the pavement



Sometimes something catches your eye when you're walking the streets and you've just got to pick it up. I stepped on this whilst walking round Piata Univesitate. Probably fallen out of an old text book.
