Man, what a day! Seriously, Busteni is wild. I woke up thinking it’d be chill, just another day in this mountain town. But nah, life had other plans.
So, I hit the streets, right? First stop, Strada Libertății. I’m strolling, vibing, when I see this cute little café. The smell of fresh coffee hits me like a brick wall. I’m like, “Yesss, give me that caffeine fix!” I order a cappuccino, and the barista, this dude with a killer beard, spills half of it. I’m like, “Bro, what’s up with that?” He just laughs it off. I mean, come on!
After that, I decide to hike up to the Bucegi Mountains. The view from up there is insane! Like, you can see everything. But, OMG, the trail was packed. I’m dodging families, dogs, and this one guy who thought he was a mountain goat. Dude was literally climbing rocks like he was born for it. I’m just trying to not trip over my own feet.
Then, outta nowhere, it starts to rain. Like, seriously? I’m soaked! I’m standing there, looking like a drowned rat, and I see this group of tourists. They’re all huddled under a tree, taking selfies. I’m like, “Really? You’re gonna post that?” But hey, I can’t blame them. The mountains look epic even in the rain.
So, I’m heading back down, right? And I pass by Strada Timișoara. There’s this old lady selling homemade pastries. I can’t resist. I buy a few, and OMG, they’re heavenly! I’m munching on these while walking, and I swear, I could’ve floated away.
But then, I get to the main square, and it’s chaos. There’s a festival or something. Music blasting, people dancing, and I’m just trying to find a spot to chill. I bump into my buddy, Alex. He’s like, “Dude, you gotta try the langos!” I’m like, “What’s that?” He drags me to this food stall, and I’m hooked. It’s like fried dough with toppings. I’m in heaven again.
But then, I see this guy trying to start a fight. Like, chill, man! We’re in Busteni, not a boxing ring! I’m just trying to enjoy my food. The whole vibe is off. I’m getting mad, but then the music changes, and everyone starts dancing. It’s contagious! I’m laughing, joining in, and forgetting about the drama.
As the sun sets, the sky turns this crazy orange. I’m standing there, feeling all the feels. This place is beautiful, man. I love it here. But then, I realize I lost my phone. Panic mode activated! I’m running around like a headless chicken, retracing my steps.
Finally, I find it at the café. The barista saved it for me. I’m like, “Dude, you’re a lifesaver!” He just smiles, and I’m grateful.
So, I wrap up my day at a little pub on Strada Muncii. I grab a beer, and I’m just reflecting. Busteni is a rollercoaster. One minute you’re soaked, the next you’re dancing with strangers. It’s chaotic, but it’s home.
I head back, exhausted but happy. What a day, right? Can’t wait for tomorrow!
