Romanian taxi drivers...
Its incredible what funny stories one can tell here about the taxis...Of course, it often happens that the drivers simply dont know where you want to go and then they ask you the way - but how the hell should I know??? But its not only that...here are some funny anecdotes which I experienced myself! I have to say that lots of them are really nice and interested when I tell them that I am Austrian! I gave English lessons to one driver, he said the words in Romanian and I translated them into English, another one wanted to speak Italian with me, as he was a medicine student going for a practical semester to
Italy, the third one had spent some time working in
Germany and found it a great opportunity to practice his German with me...He was really sad when the drive was over, poor guy...Most of the drivers have just horrible Romanian folk or rap music, on full volume, it only happened once to me that the guy behind the steering wheel was so kind to ask me if the music disturbed me, and even then I said no. Lets wait what adventures are still waiting in taxis ggg
