Watching the stars

July 24th, 2011

Almost one month to go until I’ll wake up in the morning and head for the train that will take us to Moscow. I was a little bit afraid after the agency announced me that they couldn’t find any more tickets for the Transsiberian but they managed to pull up some strings and get them in the end.

And in this happy mood, I’ve spent a great evening yesterday. I was waiting for my beloved bakewells (Andra, I will make you a statue for getting me some every time you come back home) in the train station and because I was half an hour early I stopped at McDonalds to get an ice tea and then went outside and sat at a table. Because the restaurant was full at some point a guy came and asked if he can share the table with me to eat his hamburger. I said yeah, sure. And we started to talk. He was a german tourist stopping in Bucharest on his way to Galati, to see some friends. He was here for 2 days only. And after half an hour of talking we left to show him the real old Bucharest. We had a long ride with the buses and then stopped in the end for a cold beer at Caru cu Bere restaurant. Then we went to the Parliament and just relaxed lying in the grass, watching the clouds, trying to discover the stars and talking about the differences between Germany and Romania. I have never lied in the grass, watching the stars, thinking of nothing. And that was the moment when I realized that it’s a month left and my biggest adventure will begin. And I kind of seen myself in a small village in China, lying in the grass, watching the stars, thinking of nothing but how good life is if you experience such simple things. Like watching the stars, lying in the grass !

Before I left, he hugged me and thanked me for the experience of seeing Bucharest the way tourists usually don’t. And it felt good to know I’ve made another tourist see some nice parts of this city.
