James and his Sheffield housemates have just flown off to Bucharest for 3 nights of, well, something. They’ve been to Germany and Italy on cultural trips (no great drinkers, I think), but Romania is a bit left-of-centre (or is it east).
£20 flights from Stansted and a shared apartment added up to a £100 trip, so I guess they won’t mind too much if they fail to find the fine dining quite as good as Rome or Dusseldorf. Bucharest does school dinner chic well.
By pure coincidence, exactly five years ago I was blogging about our own Bucharest booze-up., and I loved the place, for all its tat and terror. 24 year olds love escape rooms, I read.
It would be nice to think they’d read my post on the nascent craft beer scene and wanted to try the Imperial ****,
but I doubt that.
I do note that in 2018 our own hotel had the following sign on the door,
and Mrs RM summed up central Bucharest in a single word;
“Seedy”
I’m sure the lads will enjoy it, whether or not they get to the Mikkeller bar.
And if they DO manage to make sense of the toilet regulations, I hope they let me know.
