My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

Bucharest by night

Oh My. I've gone out clubbing last night and tonight (it's the wee hour of 4am, and while tired earlier, a little dancing and a little more alcohol woke me up...).

Like Argentina, and a few other countries, the alchol licensing laws are either generous or non-existent. Which means I'm back in a country where things start late and run later. Bliss!

And I have more travel stories from other people. While I'm a bit awake, I don't think I quite have it in me to relate them. Before clubbing tonight, a group of us went to someone's flat, and that turned in to a party.

I drank a local liquor. Warm. Yum. A little potent to sniff and initially taste, but quite smooth and no shocking aftertaste.

I smoked from a hookah. Apple. Tasty.

I drank homemade Romanian red wine. Yum.

And I met some really cool people. Including a British guy who lives with a Romanian girl. He has the most fantastic imagination and I hope he sits down to write a book. He has a blog I will check out later, so look for the inevitable link to appear on the A Little Linky Linky portion of my sidebar.

And of course, there's K. Wanting to appear in my blog... Seemingly a quite interesting Brit, though I haven't gotten a really good story on him yet... K, fess up!

Oh, and I finally made it to the Parliament building, aka the People's Palace. So, now I can leave Bucharest satisfied. Though of course, I will be sad to part ways with the people I've met. They really are the funnest bunch of people I've met in one place. It's a mystery if any of us will search each other out in the future, but it's been great fun and I'm still laughing so hard I nearly cry several times a day. Bliss.

Time for a little sleep...
