RE: Growing up in Romania #5: Confessions of a clumsy guy
My Romanian mate in London UK told me that "budda" if you spell it that way like in the spiritual name of"Buddha" was the name for a outside toilet in Romania.
Your Romanian mate described it well. We call "toilet" buda ( it reads like Buddha). However things can get spiritual when sitting on buda, especially if it's one outside.
We lived in the same shared house in London for around 6 months. So I helped improve his english dialogue and he taught me about Romania, the history through You Tube.
He is from Sibiu. When he shown me Sibiu I could not believe how big the music scene is there. As a lot of the music he showed me was at a venue called Oldies.
He shown me on You Tube as well the Romanian version of Stonehenge you know those big black circles?
You mean, Szarmiszegetusa? (hope I spelled it right, the Dacian Capital City )
I think that might be the name. It was 4 years ago I last watched the documentary on it.
You should visit if you get a chance :)
When I travel I prefer the countryside out in the sticks instead of a city break. Yes I`ll probably go to visit Romania within the next 2 years. I have some other places outside of Europe I have set myself to visit over the next 18 months.
