Now look, I remained in Bucharest ‘cause when all my pipes in the bathroom start leaking I hurry to the plumber from the 9th story and his wifey slams the door in my face and then what to do? I grab my headphones, give a play to AC/DC - Back in Black – and take off on my rollerblades. How’s this? Do I simply take off? Of course not! I firstly take off along the corridor, all night long, then slowly go down the avenue. The police tracing me, yelling in the loudspeaker: on the side way! on the siiiidewaaaay!

With a little help from Bucharest Angels - minibus tours, guided walks, Welcome to Bucharest workshops, the Bucharest Guide - you'll get to love the city!

Sadly, Bucharest still doesn't have an official tourist information center. Luckily, Bucharest has angels; its angels are called City Compass. No romanticised versions, they admit adapting to Bucharest life is hard and that some (if not most) new-comers might be put off by their first encounter with "The Big Mix" as coined by Wikitravel. No way we're telling you Bucharest is all wonderful, it's a crazy city, but discovering it is great fun!
