Day 7, Sighisoara, România
The last day in Romania was sunny and dry, so we made a few nice pictures which can tell you more than 1000 words.
PS pictures were taken from the Clock Tower (Turnul Cu Ceas). Ask the student ticket (2,5 lei) as the staff is fully indifferent whether you have an ID or not.

Typical Romania
Day 5, Sighisoara & surroundings
In the 1st day of Christmas, the whole country stays at home without making any effort to go outside. That's why it was a great day to start exploring surroundings of Sighisoara, so-called typical and true Romania.
Another trend of Romania - fire places in almost every house. It really rules, I must say!

Coffee break
Day 4, Sighisoara
Today we prepared and celebrated Xmas, but this post isn't about it, but about black beans drink.
Surprizingly, you can order a great coffee even here, in Sighisoara. Highly recommended is coffee in Concordia, they have Julius Meinzl, and even serve you drinks in a limited edition cups (15€ for a small cup on Amazon). Definitely try Millionaires coffee here.
In Perla, there's also a good coffee menu by Illy, but i won't recommend Irish Coffee: although it's pretty strong, it's also to bitter and the substance doesn't look very attractive.
Pricing for info: espresso & americano is around 1.00-1.50€, specials with alcohol are about 2.00-2.50€. We keep tasting further on!

Partying in Romania
Day 3, Sighisoara
After the whole day ride to Brasov & Bran, great home-made dinner and having a short nap, we went out as it possible in Sighisoara.
Starting with a pre-party in Casa Cositorarului (try to pronounce very quickly), which seems to be our everyday location, we moved to Aristocrat, the best (and the single) disco in the town.
Romanians put much attention to the interior of the most locations (as Russians too): well designed club is hardly to imagine in such a small town.
Typically, it was very smoked, very many Barbie-girls competing who has the shortest skirt, and a pretty ok party house music.
Cocktails between 2 and 4 euros, soft drinks for 1.50 and beer for 2 euro: isn't it a great basis to a great party?
So we left after 3am, completely tired, smoked out, but in a very good mod. In a nut shell, highly recommended if you are indifferent to smoke & celebrate with a group of friends.

Best medieval location in Sighisoara
Day 3, Sighisoara, Romania
Since we took a walk through the narrow streets in the citadel, we stopped by the Casa Cositorarului. The Coffee House is located near Tower Cositorarilor, part of the citadel's wall. It is a traditional place in medieval style with impressive interior decoration.
A must-have: one of the many delicious tea varieties!

Dracula castle
Day 3, Bran, Castelul Bran
We've been to Bran Castle, which was the residence of Dracula, according to the legend. In reality, Dracula stayed there only once overnight, but the castle became one of the most touristic sights in Romania.
More pictures to come, and here's the view from the top.
