Bucharest such a mystery

I arrived quite late in the capital of Romania. Was so tired so I got myself an uber. Normally I would try local transport but I feel intimidated by this city. My driver doesn't know much english so it kept me focused on rehearsing my romanian thank you. Such a hard word, really.

Maybe because it is close to Istanbul thats why the words are quite similar. The cith itself felt so old and ruined. It looks really much affected by its past, the Soviet era. We reached my apartment after nearly 20 mins. Not bad traffic at all. I did say 'mulțumesc' for such a breezy ride.

Code was provided to me by my Airbnb host to enter the building. It looks really old, ironically next to much modern shops in front of it. When I entered darkness enveloped the hallway. Beam of light is visible towards the enormous stairway that leads endlessly to my apartment. And is like hundreds steps ascending circular towards fifth floor. I quickly transformed my luggage into a backpack. Thank God I bought this Samsonite light pack bag. After exhausting my last hurried breath, I did reach my room. Further hidden on another section called #15. It looks like an old school dormitory really. The door was kept opened and keh lying next to the table.

This will be a long night, I reckon.
