Trabant Trek ni s-a parut o plimbarica curajoasa, (si inca ni se pare) care a fost insa dusa la un nou nivel: inconjurul lumii pe un Vespa. A trecut si prin Romania si ne-a facut placere sa-i citim jurnalul de drum, ceea ce va sugeram si voua.On To RomaniaDriving through the Hungarian countryside, you could be fooled into thinking a neutron bomb had gone off; you simply don’t see anybody. Where they got to, I have no idea. In Romania, everybody’s going about their business outdoors, sometimes in the middle of the road. Adults, children, cows, geese, wildly swerving rusted-out Dacias, it’s all a big obstacle course that takes some nerve to negotiate your way through. Deeper Into The T-VanA Harrowing Drive to Bucharest there was a great deal of bird-flipping on my part and fist-shaking and screaming on his. After that episode, I calmed down and resolved to put my middle finger away for the rest of the trip.
..watched as the two drivers, who were unhurt, take turns screaming at each other. In typical Eastern European fashion, it didn’t come to blows Stray Observations: BucharestA Week on the Black Sea CoastFact is, Romania has a dodgy, conspicuously-consuming overclass just like every other Eastern European country, and in the summertime, they all congregate in the clubs and discos of Mamaia. It’s not really my bag, this stuff, but it is very impressive. It’s all Bentleys and Aston-Martins and Lamborghinis parked out front, and bottle service and Grey Goose and cheesy club music and leggy supermodels and the rest inside. Adventures in Romanian RetailMe: Good day. Do you speak English?
Information Desk Guy: Enhhhhhh…. Yes. Little bit. Me: Great. I’m looking for some duct tape, and some thick, stiff wire. Like, for tying things together. Information Desk Guy: You want… hotel? Me: No, no. No hotel. I need duct tape. Do you know duct tape? It’s… silver. Tape. Tape. And sticky. He then raised an eyebrow, leaned in conspiratorially, and lowered his voice. Information Desk Guy: You want… girl? Me: Girl? What the– Jesus. No. I need duct tape, and wire. You know, wire? Wire. And nuts and bolts. Information Desk Guy: You want… hotel? www.vespa360.com
