The guy on the commuter bike wasn't supposed to be there, but I'm glad he got in the frame. The shot looks better with him there. Stay safe, bike guy!

It looks lovely! What kind of beer should I try if I ever travel to Sibiu?

[-] Sisyphe@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Off the top of my head, I can think of Sibiu, Sadu and Cibin. These are the main local artisanal lagers. They're good, but nothing to write home about. Consumer-grade beer is pretty shit in Romania, but there are a few good ones like Silva Dark and Csíki Sör (this one is manufactured in Székely Land, hence the Hungarian name).

Thanks, I'm carving Silva Dark into my brain with a chisel.

Nothin' like a bidon full of the ol' Type AB+ during a long bike ride.

[-] Sisyphe@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

This is just a stereotype and frankly, it's hurtful. I've been living here for the last 200 years and not once have I seen a vampire.

But seriously now, AB+ is good but AB- is something everyone can enjoy!

[-] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

O- is the one everyone can enjoy. But that's one reason why I wrote AB+: being the least useful as a donation means it'd be the preferred type for a polite vampire to take.

[-] Sisyphe@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Right. A vampire would have known that, which is to show that I am definitely not one.

Between the two of us, I think we both know whose comments are more suspicious!

Isn't this around Vlad's castle?

[-] Sisyphe@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

It's a 2-3 hour drive from Bran Castle. And just to be the insufferable pedant that I am, I'll have to inform you that while Bran Castle is the castle that Bram Stoker described in his novel "Dracula", the real Vlad the Impaler never resided there. Vlad ruled over Wallachia, not Transylvania. He may have been imprisoned there for a short time, though.
