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,… Continue reading A WARNING TO BUCHAREST

NOW, EVEN ROMANIA GETS A CEREAL CAFE
Some final reflections on Bucharest from our flying trip (a.k.a. I have photos I need to stick someone and this will do). First, more of that murk you love.

But Park Cismigiu is a delight, even if there’s not locals selling horse kebabs and foaming lager for 50p a pint as we’d been led to… Continue reading BUCHAREST – BEER O’CLOCK & THE IMPERIAL ****
NO REST FROM BREW IN BUCHAREST
Well, this is embarrassing. Two nights in Bucharest with Mrs RM and I seem to have a hundred pictures of modern bars and ancient buildings; where’s the graffiti, dereliction and donkeys ? Frankly, I could have been in Manchester Brew Dog, or the Port Street Beer House, if they’d decided to halve their prices overnight.… Continue reading NO REST FROM BREW IN BUCHAREST
