Romania, Bucharest. What do you know?
 

Contemplating visiting a friend there. He says its great. Anyone else been there? What all did you do? Did you have a good time? Whats the club scene like? Hooker scene? Other scenes?

Any info would rawk, thanks!

I don't know too much, but there are some cheap hookers there :)

I've been thinking of a visit to Romania as well. Here's a company I found that has short-term furnished apartment rentals (some w/internet): http://accommodation-in-bucharest.el...apartments.htm

I've driven through couple of times, but the last time was like 10 years ago. Back then it looked like the shittiest hood in the world, roads with huge pot holes, people using tractors as public transport, etc Of course a lot has changed since then, and I advise you to go, at least you're going to see something different....
Very pretty girls too.

All i know about romania is that 90% of fraud orders come from there :(

Pull your head out of your ass. Most fraud is from the U.S.. then russia. I wont deny Romania has high fraud rates, but check your stats first please. :)

Although I personally wouldn't reccomend visiting Bucharest some people say its nice, most of the locals want to leave. Money is King, so if you've got some to spend then you'll have a great time.

I would prefer to go somewhere like Brasov/Sibiu for nightlife and fun, in the winter at least.

It looks beautiful there i would visit you don't have much to lose if you don't like it leave

Of the six Romainian families I have met and visited their homes over the years, I would not want to visit their country. One of my neigbors is a Romainian family and they let their property disintegrate to a fucking wrecking yard. Right up there with Floridian I-10 shanty type white trash.

I'm in Bucharest now.. Hit me up on icq =)

only if you pull your head out of your ass first :upsidedow i know what the fraud rates by country are. My chargeback rates from romania are higher since some movies and pics were linked on a few romanian sites and i guess they spotted them off there.

...move along, move along, not much to see here...
...kidding of course.
The clubs are ok, kinda, at least some of them, the girls are nice and friendly, as long as u have enough money, LOL. Hit me up on ICQ or yahoo if you want to ask me more, i live here...

and where in this world if you go, money isnt the king? in teh jungle or in the desert eh? :disgust

we drove thru there about 10 years ago and we didn't stop once anywhere. on the Hungarian border the agent told us not to stop anywhere unless absolutely necessary or we risk to get ambushed.
Apparently foreign cars were a big target.

Driving towards bulgaria a couple times people threw stuff at the car, it looked like they were aiming for the windshield. There was a group of 3 cars that had pulled over ahead of us, who got struck but they kept driving anyways, my dad stoped to see if they needed any help the guy said they got chased a while ago and told us to keep going and only stop if we need to refill with gas.

We drove non-stop untill we reached the border with Bulgaria I remember my mum was pissed off cause she couldn't pee lol

Don't know if any of this is true anymore but I can say we pretty much agreed we won't be driving thru Romania any time soon again.

you must have slept and had some nightmares with dinosaurs chasing you in the african desert doode... this situation never happened in romania you are totaly talking shit here. this kind of situations was in bulgaria in the times before they had economical crash...

Yea, I heard the stories many times back then, but last time we drove through with some friends in 2 cars we had two incidents.

The first one was when we were stopped by some cops, and we thought that they were going to extort a few hundred buck from us. Nothing like that actually happened, they checked our driving licences, passports, and let us go. We had to pay 400.00 DM to the cops in Slovakia, and 100.00 DM to the cops in Seged (sp), Hungaria.

The second incident was when my friend lost control of his car, and the car flew off the road, and landed in the deepest snow I had ever seen. We tried to get it out, but we couldn't, about 30 min later two Romanian guys drove past in a truck, stopped, and pulled us out of the ditch.

or maybe it was around '89 , hell knows.
But yea, romania is still a retarded country, thats the sad truth.
Some cities are ok, lots of cool places to see, it really depends who
you hang around with.
I wouldn't recommend Bucharest tho, chose something in Transilvania and you
won't regret it.

Yeah, right, that's where Count Dracula lives ;)

OWNED ! :thumbsup

I agree, Romania is a beautiful country :) but I don't like Bucharest. Nothing to see there, unless you are hunting for hot chicks. :winkwink:

There are many lovely places to be seen in Romania
