carnets-de-voyages-en-roumanie

Very roughly, I see Banat as the Romanian Yugoslavia. The main cities where to look for action are Timişoaran of course but also Arad and Drobeta-Turnu-Severin (one city ).

Arad

Downtown

I found 2 teasers bars with the same neon sign : «sexy club» . I remember in 2005 trying to negociate with a local beauty. She had given me prices to go out with her at 5:00 AM and pleased me to stay in the club and pay for drinks (that would alllow time for strokes). I turned down.
In 2008, I went to the other club. I started talking about sex with the first girl who stayed with me. She told me she was OK for 150 € but I could feel a rip off since she did not explain me how and when to go. I had to offer a «lady's drink» to talk to her and after a while she told me she had to go for a dance and quit. Another girl came and started everything over but I refused to pay her a lady's drink. When the first one came back, she asked me for another lady's drink to stay. I decided to go.

  This experience costed me 100 lei for about 1 hour in a bar.

For those who are interested any way, click here for a view of the location of the clubs. The first one is in the street in the upper corner right of the pic. The second one is in one of the houses aroundthe square where you can see shadows. These pictures are old. Arad downtown changed a lot since then : it is full of neaon (and cars) as in any European city. There used to be another club (left on the pic) but it no longer exists.

Boulevards at night

Street action took place close to a «Lukoil» gas station riding north to Oradea. A couple of gipsy girls were hanging there harassed by a team of police officers. Further on the ramp in the middle of large trucks a girl was stricly escorted by drivers. I never found out if she was a hooker or the daughter of a driver. That was hard to comme close under the agressive glances from drivers. I came back one hour later and noticed nothinghad changed : gipsies, police, truck drivers and the thin girl.

Near Arad in daytime

Next morning 300 feet further on the road to Oradea, 2 gipsy girls with dark skin were hanging. The one who came close looked oldand I asked to talk to the other who looked youger. The other one did not want to move her ass.

  From Arad to Oradea : the road was empty






Dobreta Turnu Severin

This large name means a city hidden behing the Muntii Banatii when coming from Hungary. If you are in Bucharest, you will ride there using a large and easy national road. This is a very pleasant town built on hill over the Danub across which you will see Serbia in a large view.

   All the action I found took place in 2006.
There were still brothels in the city, 4 clubs actually. I visited 2 of them. A taxi driver met in front of the hotel Trajan (very easy to find if you go there) had offered me a rapid ride to see all of them. In both places, I saw a small band of stupid girls sitting in red leather sofas waiting for somebody to pick them up. They seemed so lazy that none of them tried a contact with the very few customers entering the place. I just thought to myself each time that had been too stupid or lazy to go and work to Spain and they just expected somebody to come and pay for them. I thought they would have the same behaviour once in thehotel and decided not to pick up one of them.

   Further north, I had seen a sexy girl hanging in the streets of Orşova in a sexy dress. She did not look pretty but gave the feeling she was a good slut despite her boyfriend's being with her. I met her a couple of hours later hitch hiking to go to Caransebeş. Regretfully, a fat ugly girl was going with her as if she followed her just to look after her. I went on my way after a large smile from this slut.

 

2007 & 2008

I did not find the clubs I had visited. The downtown had changed from an old Eastern downtown to a modern city, that is fairly pleasant to visit in spite of the lack of action. I had hear about a place close to the road going to Tîrgu Jiu but had not enough information to go there.
In 2008, I did not stay in the city; I managed to find the place where I had found clubs 2 years earlier but the first one had been changed to a small town house and the second one one was jus a small notions store.
   I was also reported hookers hanging in the area of the Petrom gas station westside on the road going to the Portile de Fier. they seemed not to be there in Summer or in day time.

Dobreta-Turnu-Severin is a pleasant city to stay in to do nothing and have rest. But do not waste your time if you want to go there mongering.

 





Timişoara

2005

I rode across the city at night. A couple of days earlier, I had spent half of my night with a beauty from Moldova in Râmnicu Vâlcea so that I raise the level in such situations. I saw a few hookers hanging on a boulevard that is actually the road to Arad (strada Gheorghe Lazăr). I found the situation not interesting at all since they reminded me of street prostitution in a Western Europe city.

2006

I found a club in (blue roof or next street south same corner) the area  between the Gara de Nord and the boulevard where girls were hanging. I spent a couple of hours with a dancer Svetlana, who told me she was half Serbian and half Romanian. She was really sexy but looked a little bit cold. I tried to bargain with her. She asked me for 50 € to come to my hotel and stay one hour as well as a bar fine of 150 lei (not far from another 50 €). I deemed that was really too expensive and left.

I went to the strada Gheorghe Lazăr but found no girl that fit with the idea I had of Romanian girls : nice, pretty and sweet.

2007

I found a fairly good looking girl on the road going to Arad, outside the city. She was hanging near a monument right after the roundabout in front of the supermarket Selgros (not on google map). She asked me 40 lei for blowjob with a condom. I would not recommend her but the place used to be the place where hookers hang in the evening.

Then I went back to the club and found Svety (Svetlana) dressed with a white shirt and jeans throusers. She explained me that she had quitted the club and found a job in a restaurant in Italy then she had come back to her town. I could not catch why she complained that prostitution had been a hard job in this club. She was back just to ask the boss to give her the money she was supposed to owe her. Svety had stared a business selling and delivering cheese to restaurants. I did not really understand in what extent that was a better job for her.

2008

Road from Lugoj  E-70
Coming from Lugoj in the afternoon, I just saw a hooker hanging across the camping place where trolley buses turn back to the downtown. She offered me 40 lei, but I did not really understood what sort of services she intended to do so, I stayed away as the police was also hanging.
 
Downtown
I went downtown to the area of restaurants and started looking for action after evening twilight on the boulevard so called road of Arad. even though I expected low level girls, I was disapointed and went away. I decided to go back to the road of Lugoj following a circumnavigation for trucks and I started meeting hookers in street action.

The DN-6 diversion 
The whole action takes place in strada Demetriade, Calea Dorobanţilor and strada Gheorghe Adam. Usual prices were 50 lei for a normal service in a car and 200 lei to spend 1 hour at the lady's home. Nevertheless I remained cautious for 2 reasons : I feared girls not to practice blowjobs since this seems to be a new fashion in Romania and I stayed away from the police and jandarmaria who were hanging in the same place.
A girl who believed she was smarter asked me 30 lei for a BJ and50 for sex, so that this would make 80 lei for both.
  Close to the intersection of the the strada Gheorghe Adam and the DN-6, I bargained wit a good looking brunette. We agreed on 50 lei but as I was about to pay her, I had only a 100 note in my wallet and she wanted to double her price whereas I discovered she wanted to stay in the car 25 feet away from the boulevard. Further in the strada Gheorghe Adam, a sexy brunette tried to give me her prices in Italian : fairly pretty, but too much trained to agressive bargaining to make me accept.

The best escort girl was called Monica

   I was about to give up when I spotted a blond speaking with police officers of the jandarmaria in a car. I had a good feeling when I saw her walking alone and asked for her price. She argumented this would bebetter for both of us to go to her appartment and have sex for one hour at 200 lei. She sounded quite all right so I asked her to let me go to an ATM and come back, what she did.
She then leaded me to a strange kind of building that had been damaged in an earthquake 2 or 3 decades ago. ( a collective housing that we call "social" housing in Western Europe. Despite there was no stair to acces to the entry we used and despite the building looked destroyed, we reached a very nice appartment not larger than 25 square metres. I was still carefull about a rip off but she made me wait 3 or 4 minutes then she became the best hooker in this part of the country.
   Monica is blond and lives in an appartment with pink furnitures that make it look like the house of barbie girl. Her body was covered with scarves of large tatoos that had been erased. Her sex was nicely epilated. She offered me a drink allthough she could offer only water. We started with shy kisses and blowjob, then I tried acunilingus to make her feel hotter. She then explained me she refused to have pleasure due respect to her boyfriend or husband, a guy named Chrissi living in Bucharest.
 After a first 25 minutes' good party, I feared her to stop. She explained me she deeply loved Chrissi and had moved to Timişoara to pratice professional sex without disturbing her child and husband. We started over and had a really good party of pleasure. As she was about to become too hot with me she would try to calm me down calling "oh !Chrissi", but the more she would, the more she made me feel she really did not want to waste her pleasure and almost laughed at herself. She tried again and again in expert deepthroats (allthough she used condoms to blow me). As our hour was over, I asked her to stop not abuse of her time. She had held her part of the contract so I wanted to hold mine. I asked for her phone number. After dressing up, I asked her to come into my arms for a last kiss that lasted something like 20 minutes. She would just stop once a while to remind me "oh ! Chrissi".

  After leaving the area, I turned on The DN-6 going downtown. I rode in front of a 4 stars hotel. I had noticed a neon light whose sign said "strip tease". In the middle of the night, the neon was flashing.

Then I was pulled off by a police car for a detailed control, what is very rare in Romania. They became when they deemed that I noting to reproach me.

2009

After riding across Hungary, I first came to Timişoara. Street action increased since last year but the quality of girls has gone done. They sell sex in a car and it is very hard to negociate to go to a place with privacy. Moreover, girls are not so beautifull, they look a little bit junk.

I eventually found Monica exactly where I had met her one year ealier.  She looked older. She told me she is 32 now. Her boyfriend, Chrissi, put her out of the appartment in which we had had such a good time last year. As my car is comfortable enough, I spent 1 hour with her for 200 lei (less than € 50.00).

As I was bringing her back, she showed me a black BMW with dark glasses. "Adrian" she said. She orkss under the protection of this young pimp.

She also recomanded me to be careful with a few girls working in her area, supposed to steal in cars.
Prices start at 40 lei (less than € 10.00) but most of the girls do not say clearly what's on the program for this price.
