I am wondering if anyone knows where or if there is a store (s) in Bucuresti that sell mainly East Indian groceries ie: quinoa, chick peas (garbanzo beans). Also a place that sells things like potato starch, rice flour, tapioca starch, Tef flour, etc.

Hi viv85e and welcome,

Interesting about the Chimen / Chimion, I did not know this.

It's also good to still see activity on this thread, even though I have barely had any time to update the site. At some point I want to refocus on it and make it more useful. Hopefully you will all have patience and keep it in your bookmarks :)

Hello,

Or...as lot of people said, my husband need to go with me.
Oh, by the way, I'm Thai nationality.
Thank you in advance :)

Hi all,
New to this community (just arrived in Bucharest on Monday). My fiance and I found cumin at Matache market. The vendor there informed us that there are two types of cumin the first called *Chimen is commonly used in Romania but is not the type of cumin we all know and love. *Chimen is actually a spice known as caraway in other countries. What we all know as the "actual" cumin spice is called *Chimion in Romanian. At Matache market this vendor had both spices, so I could compare and be sure I got the right one.

Subtle difference in name but two different spices all together.
I hope that helps you!

Does anyone know anywhere with world cup coverage from the bbc/itv (perhaps british expat pubs?), in order to watch the England games?

Lol, I like your thinking :)

Sadly, haven't seen it anywhere. Drinkswise, I've found Port in Cora in Pantelimon, Ouzo and Raki are widely available in the Turkish shops, grappa in Nic supermarket, and Nic Classic near Piata Dorobanti has quite a good selection of spirits, although I don't recall seeing Pimm's.

Daniel on "Where can I find ..... in Bucharest?"

Probably a rediculous question but has anyone seen Pimms in Bucharest?

Daniel on "Registering To Vote"

With the UK elections coming up soon, has anyone registered to vote?

I understand you need a signature from another British citizen living abroad that isn't a close relative?

Daniel on "Where can I find ..... in Bucharest?"

Daniel — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:15:38 +0000

I found some cous cous as well as other hard to find items such as garam masala powder in a shop called 'bio good'. It's at the far end of baneasa mall, past carrefour near the smaller food court and all the baby shops.

Hahahahaha.
Welcome to the real life.
They sell false invoices.
Let's not go into high details about how this is possible, because I do not know.

apaminerala — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 02:29:29 +0000

They definitely have shops with chinese food in Dragonul Rosu. I saw 3 of them, even if I wasn't looking for chinese food.
I'm actually amazed how large Dragonul Rosu is.

From the link you gave I believe it is called 'the world according to ion b'. I havn't heard of it before I have to admit but it looks like it will be on HBO...

Roger on "Traffic Accidents"

Roger — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 22:19:52 +0000

Just found this site: http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/country-health-profile/romania/

It says romania is good in terms of the number of road traffic accidents which given the state of the roads must make romanians pretty good drivers...

Anyway, this surprised me. The liver disease not so much...

Hi Mikey,

I am fairly new to Romania and have been trying to find a job as an English teacher. I studied Shakespeare and Speech for two years in college. I also have experience tutoring adults and working with children. I would really love to be able to find a teaching position as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Grace

Daniel — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:24:51 +0000

I am not an English teacher but I am trying to put a group together and take them to Oxford (my home town) in the summer as part of the summer courses offered by http://www.mmoxford.co.uk.

I am able to offer discounted prices to the ones on the website so if you have any students that you think might be interested please pass on this information and tell them to get in touch :)

Mikey on "Is anyone an English teacher?"

Mikey — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 06:33:46 +0000

I am, and I have a full schedule at the moment, but I sometimes still get calls from potential students. It's a shame to waste leads so let me if anyone is a teacher and is on the look out for more work, let me know and I can pass them on.

Daniel on "Calling to and from Romania"

Daniel — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:23:00 +0000

I discovered canadafreecalls when I wanted to call Romania from the UK and it seemed the cheapest. Seemed quite complicated to work out my savings at the time so didn't ever use it :p Instead went for the orange camel plan i think.

Anyway thanks for the info and welcome to the Romalien forums. :)

If you plan to use only a computer than there's nothing beating the Betamax range of products ( nonoh.com, justvoip, etc ). or good old Skype.

If you want to also use a regular phone go for Canadafreecalls.com ( it is a Canadian company, owner of Romanian descent ).
Access numbers in Canada but also Romania ( 0-808-241-999 , works from any public phone, directly ).
Free registration, free 0.5 USD to test, no credit card needed.

If you need a PBX for the office, develop a call-center, reduce costs with general telephony ( we are both CRTC and ANRC registered - Romania and Canada ) drop us an email.

Best regards,

Tudor

apaminerala on "Why do people think Subway failed in Romania?"

apaminerala — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:32:48 +0000

McDonalds Unirii was opened in 1995 I believe and it only showed a profit since 2007 ( according to the retired Romanian manager , info in an article I can't find ).
Subway wasn't probably a McDonalds investment, but a local one. They would keep the place running for 6 months, and if it doesn't show a profit, bye bye.

apaminerala on "super bingo"

apaminerala — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:29:02 +0000

Superbingo was very popular 12 years ago in Romania. There were bingo salons all over the place, afterwards interest simply dissappeared.
I would be surprised if the superbingo TV business will do good in Romania in the next 20 years.

Mikey on "Where can I find ..... in Bucharest?"

Mikey — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:21:53 +0000

I'm not sure where they usually keep them but they had a huge load of them close to the fresh meat section in the run up to Christmas. I assume they can be found all year round though. I need to get some more soon so we'll see.

A client of mine gave me a recipe for Hungarian sausages too; I think it was about 80% pork, 20% beef, crushed garlic (soaked in water overnight) and a shed load of paprika. I might give them a try soon.

I also experimented with some chicken sausages. They weren't bad, but were a little dry. Fine with some sauce or mustard though.

Hmmm apple, sage and stilton sounds really nice. I went with the traditional romanian christmas this year as it was my first christmas here but that sounds like a good idea for my planned consolation dinner sometime soon. Can't say i've ever noticed the skins in Cora - i'll have to look more closely.
