Man, today was a wild ride in Corbii-Mari! Like, I woke up thinking it’d be just another boring day, but boy, was I wrong. First off, I hit the streets of Strada Principală, and it was like a scene from a movie. People everywhere, cars honking, and the smell of fresh bread from the bakery. I swear, if I could bottle that smell, I’d be rich!
So, I’m walking, right? Just minding my own biz, when I see this street performer on Strada Tineretului. Dude was playing the accordion like he was possessed! I mean, I’m no music expert, but he was good. I tossed him a couple of lei, and he gave me this huge grin. Made my day, honestly.
But then, outta nowhere, I get this text from my buddy, saying he’s stuck at the bus station on Strada 1 Decembrie. I’m like, “Dude, how do you get stuck at a bus station?” Turns out, he missed his bus. Classic. So, I decide to swing by and pick him up.
On my way, I pass by the old church, Biserica de Lemn. It’s so beautiful, man. The woodwork is insane! I always think about how many stories those walls could tell. But then, I see a group of tourists taking selfies. Ugh, I can’t even. Like, can’t you just enjoy the moment without your phone? But whatever, I guess that’s the world we live in.
Finally, I get to the bus station, and my buddy is just sitting there, looking all defeated. I can’t help but laugh. “You good, bro?” He just rolls his eyes. We hop in my car, and I’m like, “Let’s hit up that new café on Strada Libertății.” I heard they have the best coffee in town.
So, we get there, and it’s packed! Like, who knew Corbii-Mari had such a coffee scene? We finally snag a table, and I order this crazy mocha thing. It’s like a chocolate explosion in my mouth. I’m in heaven! But then, my buddy orders a black coffee, and the barista gives him this look like he just asked for a unicorn. I’m dying laughing.
After that, we decide to stroll around the park near the lake. It’s so chill there. The sun is shining, and people are just vibing. But then, I see this kid flying a kite, and it gets stuck in a tree. I’m like, “Oh no, not the kite!” The kid starts crying, and I’m like, “C’mon, it’s just a kite!” But I get it, man. I remember losing my favorite toy as a kid.
Then, outta nowhere, this old lady comes up and starts telling us about the history of the park. Apparently, it used to be a royal garden or something. I’m like, “Wow, Corbii-Mari has some serious history!” But my buddy is just zoning out, probably thinking about his next coffee fix.
As the day winds down, we hit up a local market on Strada Măgurii. I’m browsing through all this fresh produce, and I can’t help but feel grateful. The vibe here is just so real. I grab some tomatoes and a loaf of bread, and the vendor gives me a discount. I’m like, “What’s the catch?” But he just smiles and says, “You’re a local, aren’t you?”
By the time I get home, I’m exhausted but happy. Corbii-Mari really knows how to throw a day at ya. I mean, from street performers to coffee shops, to random history lessons from old ladies, it’s a rollercoaster. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings. But for now, I’m just gonna crash. Peace out, Corbii-Mari! You’ve been a trip!
