Aarhus – Bucharest Travel Log

5 December 23, 2009, Tagged , ,

I said farewell to Aarhus and I embarked on a journey to Romania. It’s already full of unexpected events but hope none of them will be decisive for the outcome: me getting safe to Bucharest this evening.

On the ferry while writing this. Just left Aarhus and it’s snowing as hell. Come to think about it, I think it’s a lot better in hell in regards to the snow. Unlike last thursday when we had the first snow in Denmark this year(winter), the busses travelled fine and the only delay I have had so far are 5 minutes with the bus from skjoldhoj to downtown and 10 minutes late on getting on the ferry, because of the huge queue of cars which are going to Sjaelland.

As I said in the previous post, I am afraid. Not sure though what I am afraid of anymore but my heart is pumping as it never has. It might be because of all the chocolate I ate and all the coffee I drank but then again, I do that each day so it’s not a good enough reason. I was saying the ferry is packed. Fuckin’ hell, it is! I barely found a seat to sit on and write this complete non-sense! I keep on wondering how Romania will be like. Yes, it will be cold and dusty at the same time but that is not what I mean. What will I do there? Who am I going to go out with? Will I make new friends/accquaintances or will I start going out again with the people that used to be my friends? God knows…

I do know one thing though: no matter what happens there, I do have a lot of things and people to think about in Aarhus. I can safely say that Aarhus is my home at the moment and I am seriously considering finishing my bachelor degree in web development here. Screw Copenhagen, Edinburgh and any other towns, I just feel like Aarhus is the place for me to be in for the next couple of months/years.

Never thought I would say what I’ve just said. Nevertheless, life takes you to some situations and feelings that you were never accustomed to. It’s intriguing how things change in a matter of years, months or even days!

So, back to the journey! It never felt so nice to listen to Mourning Beloveth. Staying on the ferry with the headphones on my head while looking at the misty sea and the snow that hits the window is just marvelous. I’m getting more and more calm by every minute that passes and this is just wonderful. Funny enough, I just remembered that my luggage changed its lock code by mistake! It went from 0-0-0 (the classical combination) to a very odd 0-1-0. I found that by mistake but at least I did! Otherwise, you might see me opening my luggage with a screwdriver! :-)

Ah.. Romania. Except my dear ones back there, there are a couple of things that I really really miss like the Timi?oreana beer, King’s Club, Fire Club, Revenge Club and whole lot of other shit. Ok, I will stop with the writing here for the moment. Last thing I want to say is that I have two friends who had the same route as I do (only they did not have to go to Copenhagen since they live there) and they missed the connecting flight from Prague to Bucharest. Czech Airlines assured their accommodation for that night and they got home the next day. I can’t say I want that to happen but seing Prague during winter might be awesome…

Oh, did I mention I’m going to Wien for my birthday? :-) Hypocrisy concert!!

Back on the bus now. Well, I’ve been back on the bus for the past 50 minutes or so but I’ve watched a tad of “The Descent” and played some FIFA 10. It’s so strange to listen to Negura Bunget while seing this Danish snow on the window of the bus. Well, I met another Romanian who is flying to Bucharest but he will be flying with Malev and leave/arrive one hour after me. Meh, at least I will not be staying by myself in the airport.

Isn’t it funny how I always get in the mood of writing on the blog whenever I don’t have any internet access? Yeah, thought so… :-)

    When I am reading it seems to be like a story from a book, but it no more or less than a real story. Actually i can say that I will probably spend my time also like you spent it on the way to Bucharest, because I want to study also in Arhus TC.

    I also got a question for you: Do you consider going from Arhus to Bucharest by your own car better than traveling by bus or airplane?

    Firstly I was also considering that traveling by plane will be better, because it takes a few hours, but I consider that traveling with my car one of the best solutions, because firstly i will have to bring all my stuff and i do not think that i will get them less than the plane weight limit. On the other hand, the distance is no a huge one, it should be around 3000 kilometers from Constanta to Arhus. Considering that I have to travel 900 kilometers from the Romanian border, the entire trip will take around 2 days. I also consider that traveling by car will be better, because i will not be alone in the car, i will be with one of my friends who will also come for studying in Arhus TC. Having a road of 3000 kilometers and 2 drivers, it will be possible to reach the destination in 24 hours.

    Maybe we have different points of view, but anyway, I will consider also traveling by plane in the future.
