The Romanians began the Henri Coanda Airport, as any genuine tourist. Mihai Popescu ordered a taxi, confessing that it is really hard to stop taking sliver of drivers, even if you are a foreigner, “wearily repeated obsessively speakers in English and in Romanian to take taxis only by command from airport , to not take sliver. “They went with a taxi driver praised Romania all the way and told the two tourists that have nothing to visit Bucharest and you better go to drink in the Old:“If you wanted to go, you had to go through the country, to see our castles.”
