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.

Have I found Buenos Aires in Eastern Europe??

Oh, how it felt like Buenos Aires today. The weather was very warm (or, at the beginning of Spring, 24 or so feels very warm), the crazy drivers did their thing -- with a lot of honking at everyone, and I walked the city. The city also is one for partying late in to the night, as evidenced by my rude awakening at 6am this morning, as the two French guys I shared a room with last night (I'm in a new room now) stumbled in to the room, reeking of liquor and carrying on talking to each other. Oh, I said something alright. And, I got an apology when they saw me this afternoon. So, the balance is redressed and, since I've had a lovely nap, no hard feelings.

I did not expect to like Bucharest, as I've read mixed things about the city, and people have told me mixed stories, too. I've only walked around a little today -- I spent a great deal of time in the National Gallery museum -- but initially, I like this city. I am meant to be leaving tomorrow, but I didn't get to see the Parliament building or the Peasant Museum, and I really would like to.

So anyway, I think I'm going to chill tonight and just read or see what the guys are watching in the tv room. Apparently there is quite a selection of dvds the hostel has for us poor travellers to watch...

Pelicula pochoclera anyone?
