Bucuresti city capital











We always love going back to Bucuresti especially when we go there as tourists. The days we spent in April were hot and long. We planned our holiday in order to attend Rokolektiv Festival, which I honostly enjoyed a lot (Move D would have to be my favourite performance of the weekend, not counting Dan Deacon who is from another world). Except partying and walking around we saw all the great friends we have there, including Igor who is number 1 in our Top Ten, and nobody can really compete with him.
Bucuresti is much better than you'd expect. I saw some huge parks/forests, out of which Titan was the best. Of course wouldn't leave out a free bike ride in Herestrau. Lipscani looks better than ever, and sometimes if it wasn't for the dogs, the street cables and my mother tongue language to remind me I would think Bucuresti is little Paris indeed.
A big hug and thanks to our host who practically left the entire flat for ourselves. Can't wait to go back there and discover something new that will make me love Bucuresti even more.

Destination: city of wonderful people and parties, dogs and street cables

Venice






The training we did for our summer job, took us to different places in Austria but also gave us the chance to have a really nice walk in Venice and eat some delicious Pizza Margherita next to the University. Not only did we meet very nice people we also got into the mood of travelling around.
Venice always has this special thing about it, and I can't really feel de bad smell everyone talks about. I rather see a town with no cars or public transport, with Venetians walking very fast on the tiny alleys and overcrowded streets with souveniers nobody should buy. Still, I would always go there walk around, knowing that there is no chance in getting lost as all streets take to Plaza San Marco. Also enjoyed a good expresso with newly met people: Lukas, Jazzy and Claudia.
The polaroid we took looks better in real life and we look like 30's really enthusiastic turists visisting Venice for the fist time.
Destination: Venice, Italy
