sibiu, romania: where the cobblestones ate my lunch money

so yeah, sibiu happened. again. let me tell you about this place where my drumsticks feel more at home than i do. just pulled up the weather app and it's... that damp cold that seeps into your bones, so maybe bring a hoodie if you're fancy.

wandering these streets feels like deciphering some ancient code written by hangry pigeons. *the citadel walls are cool though - they're basically medieval mood lighting. if you run out of things to do, brasov and cluj are just a short drive away when the locals stop giving you directions that lead you to cabbage fields.

heard this gem while nursing a suspiciously cheap coffee:

“that tower? yeah, they say the ghost drummer still plays triplets at 3am sharp. bring earplugs.”

and from some drunk dude at the piața mare:

“avoid the pork knuckle joint near the pharmacy unless you wanna see your future in gravy.”

someone told me the best ciorba is at hanul gurii but the owner gives side-eye to anyone who asks for drumming tips. fair enough. the bridge of lies* is literally just a bridge but the vibes are immaculate - perfect for tuning your toms while tourists judge your life choices.

i swear the astronomical clock has been mocking my timing for days. pro tip: if you hit the bell at the exact moment it chimes, the city owes you a beer. don't tell them i sent you though.
