1. There are food places EVERYWHERE here, and not your typical Mcdonalds or Dairy Queen. Just down the street from my apartment there is a soft serve ice cream shop. There's a soft pretzel shop across the street from me (which is amazing), There is also a pastry shop across the street from me. As well as pizza place, gyro, and hamburger places. It is amazing walking down the street and seeing so many places to quickly grab food. To go with that there are also stands with water, soda, icecream bars, magazines, and newpapers. They are super nice when you are walking around and you run out of water and can't fill it up anywhere.
2. There are flower shops all over the place. Here in Romania it is customany to give a gift, to someone when you first meet them. Example: When a student first meets their teacher for the year they usually give them flowers. Just imagine being the teacher, say you have 20 kids in your class. That is 20 bouquets of flowers. I would think what in the heck am I supposed to do with 20 bouquets of flowers? People are constantly buying flowers. The bouquets are beautiful and are between 10 and 20 Lei
(2.50-5 USD) They are so cheap!
3. Ok this one drives me crazy! It's hilarious. So when you are crossing the street or walking down the side walk, it seems like the people dont move out of the way. So I feel like I'm constantly trying to move out of the way. It cracks me up every time!
4. This one is kind of funny too. So there aren't any stops signs here. Obviously there are stop lights on the bigger busy roads. so when you are on a small side street you have to start walking across the street and hope the car has enough time to stop. Alot of the time they come pretty close to you. Yea it's a little scary.
5. Alright I love this one. Just about all the cars are stick shift here, it's just great. Although it is sad when they kill the car and their stopped at a cross walk or light with a line of cars behind them. I do have to say it is a little funny.
Well that is all I can think of right now. I'll try to think of more soon!
