And welcome to Bucharest, Romania
Looks like we don't get a gate to get buses for Air Serbia
Or is this Air Bulgaria? I guess we're Air Bulgaria today. Coming in from Belgrade
But, yeah. First time to Bucharest my 95th country Non-Shengen arrival
I'll let you know how it goes
The line was very fast, maybe five minutes max of that, but there was a line building
one more person to slow down your arrival. I don't mind. I think there's multiple areas for arrival though
From here we'll see if I can get to the city center
without any problems. overpaying like I did in Serbia I guess I paid twice the price everyone was commenting So this time I looking for official taxi Official taxi not some guy who just going to come up and hawk me
Say, hey, taxi. The licensed taxis are always the best, every country anyway
not just because of the price but the service too is more professional oh
exchange. I do need currency, don't I? From Romania
I'll probably go to Bulgaria, but I think I'll take a bus or a train or whatever they have
I think I'm done with airports for a minute. If I go to Bulgaria like that, I might end up flying to
Istanbul from Bulgaria. Yeah, we'll see. So I'm not sure exactly what I'll do
What we got here
Arrival! I feel like my bag's coming undone. Yeah, my bag was coming undone so I had to fix that real quick
Bit of an older airport I can tell but So far it's been pretty smooth sailing immigration is how I judge most airports
Based on how efficient that is so Curious if they've got uber here. That's what we need to find out. All right get away from that annoying noise
We are here Think they have uber here Train also
Train bus authorized taxes. I need an ATM now There's an ATM. All right, so that was a slow ATM. I didn't even know if it was gonna work, but it did I got
500 of the local currency for 125 us So taxi kiosk So the information here but no one manning the booth
So I will go this way. Said they have a train
I'm not going to ride that right now. Huh. Going in the direction of the train, but I'm also going in the direction of what I think is Uber
So we shall find out. There's no information booths or anyone you can ask that speaks English, so
just got to kind of wing it. I'm cautious of talking to anyone who's hawking a taxi
Let's see here. No sign that says Uber anywhere, but I see a sign that says train
Maybe I'll be taking a train. Oh. I always wonder why airports don't make it very easy to understand where everything's at with signage
I know there's a train. Alright. So maybe they just want me to ride the train
But where is the Uber? Departures. Huh. Alright. Alright. What do we got here
Oh, a train. How do we get this train
See, this is... Is that the train? Where's an information booth? Let's see here
Information. Here we go. So it was six Romanian loo
And, yeah, we'll see how long this takes. I didn't intend to take the train, but
I kind of just ended up Doing it. So we'll see. It's usually what you guys like
Six Lou is probably like one dollar. We'll see. Well, the train is filled to the brim
We've been sitting here for about ten minutes with everyone on board. It still hasn't moved, so it's..
Maybe easier to take a hooper Alright so I just found out the train is gonna take about an hour and 20 minutes from the airport So I gonna see if I can get off somewhere I not exactly sure where we are I gonna look on a map and see but you know I guess
this works in some regards if you're like super low budget you only want to
pay $1 but if you got like $10 that's how much an uber would it cost $20 10 to
$20 to the city maybe a little bit better option I'm glad I did it I could
show you guys the train for those of you who are looking to you know save a little bit but
would I do that again with there's no seating I mean everyone was standing well people were
sitting but me and a bunch of people were standing the whole way it actually only took about 30
minutes so it wasn't that bad but we'll see where we're at here
I see exactly where I need to go. Where's the taxis
Okay. I'm going to help this guy. I have two days here, and I have now one time, and that is not so much
Yeah. You understand? Okay. And here in Romania, it's very difficult because you have not money
It's very difficult. I have to get a bit money right. Yeah, that's fine
What people would do. Yeah, that's fine. Just tell me. Let me get him a ticket. He's gonna help me
How much is it? So I guess he was asking me for like 280
Romanian, I don't know how much that is. I think it's like $40 for a ticket
Man, yeah, so you know first time in the country you Just stand out like a sore thumb, I guess and the thing with the city so far that I've noticed is there's no like information booths
And no one speaks English yet so I haven't been out I'm gonna go straight to a taxi I'm just gonna get
let myself get ripped off and go for it I'd rather just eliminate the headache
and just pay with the going prices probably not gonna be too bad but
yes old town all right so it's gonna cost 40 lao or Liu how you say the money
The name of the money? The money name? Dollar? Or Liu? How do you say it
Liu? See what I'm saying? The taxi driver there, Silvo, saved the day
He got me here quickly. It was about a 20-minute drive from that train station. And it cost me about 40 Liu
And I asked him, I said, what's the best pizza? You know what he said
He said, Pizza Hut. And then number two is Pizza Presto. I said, Pizza Hut, that's American
He goes, I know. It's the best. All right, so there you have it
