Man, what a day! I swear, Motru really knows how to throw a curveball. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I hit up Strada 1 Decembrie. You know, the main drag. I’m just trying to grab a coffee at that little joint, Café Motru. I walk in, and it’s packed! Like, where did all these people come from? I mean, it’s a Tuesday, not a festival! I’m standing there, tapping my foot, and this dude in front of me orders, like, a 10-step coffee. I’m losing it. Just gimme a black coffee, man!
Finally, I get my cup of joe, and I’m outta there. But then, boom! I step outside, and it’s like a scene from a movie. A cat runs across the street, and this car swerves to miss it. I’m talking full-on Fast & Furious vibes. The driver yells something in Romanian, probably cursing the cat. I’m just standing there, coffee in hand, like, “What just happened?”
So, I decide to take a stroll down Strada Libertății. It’s a nice street, you know? Trees, some shops, and the vibe is chill. I’m feeling good, until I see this guy selling flowers. He’s got a whole cart, and I’m thinking, “Man, I should buy some for my mom.” But then I remember I’m broke. So, I just smile and keep walking.
Next, I hit up the park near the old coal mine. It’s a bit of a dump, but it’s got character, ya know? I sit on a bench, sipping my coffee, and just people-watch. There’s this old lady feeding pigeons, and they’re going nuts. I’m cracking up. Like, lady, you’re gonna get swarmed!
Then, outta nowhere, my buddy calls. He’s like, “Yo, you wanna hit up the market?” I’m like, “Sure, why not?” So, we meet at Piața Motru. It’s buzzing! Fresh veggies, fruits, and all that good stuff. But man, it’s chaos. People pushing carts, kids running around. I’m dodging left and right like I’m in a video game.
I grab some tomatoes, and this lady behind me starts yelling. Apparently, I cut in line. I’m like, “Chill, lady! I didn’t even see you!” But she’s not having it. I’m just trying to buy some groceries, and now I’m in a shouting match. Classic Motru, right?
After that drama, we decide to grab some lunch. We hit up this little place on Strada Tineretului. Best mici in town, no joke. I’m chowing down, and life is good again. But then, my buddy spills his drink all over the table. I’m laughing so hard, I almost choke on my food.
The day’s winding down, and I’m feeling kinda tired. I stroll back home, taking the long way through Strada Cărbunelui. It’s quiet, and I’m just reflecting on the day. I mean, it was wild. Ups, downs, and everything in between.
As I get home, I plop on the couch, and I’m like, “What a ride.” Motru, you crazy city. You keep me on my toes. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
