When you are
coming to a foreign country there are so many questions come to your mind, that
sometime it's too hard to handle. Nowadays you could try to answer that
questions by googling it. But if internet fails to answer your naughty
questions, what happens next is that you get so stressful and the worst part of
it is that you can't get a good sleep? Imagine if your departure is within a
week but you have no idea how it's going to look like in that new world. Even
trying to imagine it gives me headache :D :D
One of the
questions that you might come up with is the transportation question. This one
won't be hard, right? Nowadays, all transportation agency has their own
websites. Yes, it's partly correct. But what if the language used on that
website was a language that you not know of?
Enough with your
bullshit theory, Hari! :D
Now I will give
you a website where you can check what means of transportation that can bring
you to your destination in Romania.
Autogari.ro
Don't worry it's
available in English. Even though when you are directed to the bus agency's
website, it might switch to Romanian language.
We took a mini
bus under the name of 'TST Turistik', I don't know if there is any other bigger
bus. The street was so small. I couldn't imagine big busses pass that street.
What great about
this whole thing is that the driver knows English. And the transportation
system here is so, I lost word to describe it. Let me put it this way, there is
no central bus station, where passengers are supposed to buy ticket - and where
tickets booth are supposed to be located .
Apparently, here
the system is like, the driver picks us directly from the airport. The mini bus
is parked just outside the airport. How do we know that we, as passengers, will
be picked up? Don't worry, the mini-bus driver is so good that he will call you
half an hour before bus departs.

It was 17.30,
which means the world was about to become dark - thus we won't be able to see
anything. Literally anything.
Well, maybe that
wasn't that bad, right? Since there was no much thing to see either. I suddenly
understood why they came up with that Dracula myth. The atmosphere here during
night is so supportive to that myth, too.
3 and a half hour
on the read, we finally arrived in Galati. I didn't get to sleep on the bus. My
mind was flying back and forth to the first existence of the world, and trying
to answer 'did I make a good choice.'
Again, there was
no bus station, or maybe their version of bus station is so out of my vision.
The bus dropped us somewhere, which he called as bus station but I didn't see
any bus parked there. Instead, it was a big street. And we were dropped just
there.
We took a taxi to
bring us to our dormitory in Str. Garii. Our names already on the list, and the
receptionist were expecting us. We got our room keys. We went to our room
separately. I slept peacefully that night.
