so back in the day people used to think
that these houses had eyes if that would
watch over them and make sure they
didn't do anything bad.
the bridge knows when somebody is being
untruthful
it's like you're stepping back in time
so we'd been in Brasov Romania for a
couple days but we had to continue our
journey west next stop Sibiu. this is our
first time hitchhiking together let's
see how it goes
so brush-off has been awesome but we
need to make our way toward Hungary so
we're going to Cebu who which is West so
we're gonna do our first hitchhiking
experience right now hopefully we will
get something we're looking for a
roundabout or somewhere where a car is
able to pull over and get us.
our first ride was from a priest and a
nun who brought us an astounding 10
minutes in the right direction where the
highway begins for you
this is a good spot all right let's see
what we can do
so after another half-hour we got picked
up.
he was a taxi driver already headed to
the Sibiu Airport and so he said he would
give us a lift for free we spent two
hours in silence as he didn't know any
English any blasted music the whole way
we passed a lot of little Romanian towns
so tiny that we passed through him in
less than 20 seconds we made it to Sibiu
so we waited for like about an hour
this guy in a taxi was heading to the
Sibiu Airport would you look a little bit
further than where we needed to go
and dropped us off in the historic
center
and now we're in Sibiu. Sibiu is a city in
Transylvania Romania a European Capital
of Culture it's a medieval town that
sits at the foothills of the syndrome
mountains
okay now we're walking through the
Piazza and we're going through a cafe
that are serving
so he just went to one of these hole in
wall places and he got four things here
we got three slices of pizza and a bagel
dog basically and we spent about four
dollars so now we're gonna find a place
to sit hopefully in the Piazza or here
so our couchsurfing host who we haven't
met yet pointed us to this place it's
called cafe gaya or Jia Jia something
like that take a look at it that's
pretty cool really quickly I just want
to thank our two new patrons Florine
Finney pesco and Elvis Dino Esquivel
thanks so much for joining patreon it
really helps us out so that is awesome
we stayed with a couchsurfing host
Stefan who was kind enough to let us
roll out our sleeping bags on the floor
he would have provided a bed but the
first night he was already hosting
someone else
he offered to sleep on the floor himself
and give all the guests his beds what's
up everybody it's a little bump and
we're about to leave our couchsurfing
hosts house to check out Sibiu alright so
we're in Piazza Jepson I and this is a
good starting off point it's the center
of the city of Sibiu
yeah and everything's possible okay so
there's a really good place to start off
and go everywhere from here it's a
central point for the whole city and
where are we gonna go next
okay now we're trying to find Lowertown
so we can access some of the oldest
parts of Sibiu so we're pretty much just
walking down and hoping that we'll find
Lowertown because it's lower in
elevation let's see if we find it
I think we've made it so you have bubble
stone roads now beyond its great
architecture Sibiu has a dose of Bohemian
flare houses with eyelids shaped windows
lighting the streets
cafes and bars brick buildings are
constantly falling apart piece by piece
so this is one of the oldest squares in
Sibiu and Sibiu is pretty old so supposed to
be a very old square I had legends of
the houses with eyes look at the eyes so
back in the day people used to think
that these houses had eyes that would
watch over them and make sure they
didn't do anything bad and so you could
see all over CBU you have these houses
with these things that look like eyes
when really it's just like an attic
ventilation system I believe yeah yeah
it looks like everywhere you go you're
not
yep that's exactly that's that's what
they thought they booked the houses the
houses didn't build themselves with eyes
this place is a charm to it that gives
you a feeling that you're in a fairy
tale
look at the roads
we finally found the bridge supplies
so for centuries the tale has been told
that the bridge knows when somebody is
being untruthful and when somebody's
lying about something while they're on
the bridge the bridge makes noises and
it creaks and does a lot of other weird
things and now it's just a good photo
opportunity a look at that
a little tumbleweed so cool
the colors building a reasonable price
this city is awesome it's like you're
stepping back in time with the exception
of these cars like look at this little
narrow cobblestone road in all the
buildings along
after CBO it was time to continue west
so he hitched a ride into our next
country Hungary
take a look at this
on a vendetta ye
