RE: My Strange Neighborhood
Hey @acesontop, I thought Romania's national alcoholic drink has another name, am I mistaken? :) I was in Bucharest a few months ago, and I can confirm that there are some similarities to Sofia. Where are you from?
Thanks for your comment and have a nice weekend!
That rakia of yours is "rachie" or "tuica" at us. There is also some stronger version of it called "palinca"(60+°). I am from a small town near Danube in the SW of Romania called Orsova. Have a great weekend you too!
Yes! It's the palinca that I know and have tried :) Never heard of this town before, but quick search on google revealed a fascinating rock sculpture. Wow!
P.S. The monastery nearby also looks nice :)
Yes the area around it is very nice. I posted in the past some pictures that I took while going with the boat in the area. It's full of tourists in summer to visit that sculpture. Is the highest in Europe. I will make some future posts with more photos in about two weeks when a friend of mine who has a boat will come home. We are going to fish for some good days around the area.
