I've been lurking this, and other forums for quite some time, and have traveled a lot for the purpose of meeting women but never really decided to do reports/write-ups on it until now. I work at an investment firm in Canada, and get a lot of time of to travel, but I usually only spend 2-3 weeks in a place before moving on. Also, my game isn't exceptionally high, but it's above medium; been in pickup for around 5/6 years. Anyways, moving on to the important stuff.
I know others have touched on it slightly, but I recently took a two-week vacation to Brasov, Romania. Here's the lowdown:
I stayed at an AirBnb location closed to downtown on a street called Nicolae Bălcescu (5-minute walk to the black church, all the pubs etc..). Now when I book a place, I want it to be private (i.e my airbnb host doesnt live there) and this place was great. The host ended up introducing me to her friends etc , but anyways.
My experience in a nutshell: Incredibly attractive, nice women, and a beautiful city with cheap food.
I found that being a foreigner here gives you pretty high status. And by foreigner, I mean westerner. German, Russian, and Scandinavian tourists are a dime a dozen here. Being from Canada, or the U.S is HUGE. I can't overstate that enough. I'd talk to the bartender at Deans in english, and girls would come up to me and join the conversation. Normally I'd attribute this to luck, but it happened every night I went out.
Night Game: In terms of night-game, as you have already heard, Sunday-Thursday is pretty dead. Friday, and Saturday are extremely busy nights as with anywhere. The people in clubs are incredibly nice. Within 30-minutes of entering Studio 80 in Brasov, I had met everybody in the club; which I think is crucial when doing solo-game in a different country. You need to socialize with everyone in the club. Become known, and you'll be rock solid. Recommendations: Deans, Studio 80, The Hockey Pub, Times, Fusion Beer house (and there's one club I forget. Texted a girl in Brasov to remember the name, but it was by far the best. They had trance music in the back, and smoking was only allowed outside).
Day Game: I've bad things about day-game in Brasov, but I have no clue why. There's a university a 10 minute walk from the main square (Piața Sfatului) with ample opportunity for approaches. The girls are nice as well, and generally like talking. If you walk down the street adjascent to the square (George Baritiu) you'll hit a street named Bulveradi Eroilor, which during the day is extremely busy with plenty of girls. I spent most of my time during the two-weeks in the day here.
The Girls: As I said above: Girls are beautiful, and I mean top-notch. I didn't see many whales in Brasov, and the whales I did see looked like tourists. Girls are receptive to foreigners, and are fairly nice. However, the typical comedy that would work in North America doesn't really work, and definitely don't question a girl about her job (oops).
Tips: If you're going to Brasov, use online-game to build your pipeline. While you'll have ample opportunity to pick up girls during the day, or night, I found that so many girls were receptive online to showing me around. Unfortunately, I started my online work too late, and could only meet up with 1 or 2 of them.
I don't like to over hype places, but I thoroughly enjoyed Brasov, and plan to go back. I'm aware that Cluj is a big spot for girls as well, and will have to visit there, but it was a positive experience in Brasov. As long as you aren't an arrogant foreigner, you'll be fine. I heard a story about an American from NY coming and yelling "I'm from New York" all night. Let your foreigner status naturally come out, and you'll be in good. One downside, is smoking, but that's Romanian culture, and several restaurants have non-smoking areas. The level of english is pretty low in the older-generation, but girls 18-25 based on what I found were quite good at english.
Downside
1) During the winter on weekends there are a plethora of european (mainly russian) tourists who come to ski on the mountain. They don't come out much at night, but on the nights they do prepare for a drunken mess. I call this a downside because it's more of a nuisance than it is a real problem. I'd prefer to not have to deal with drunk Russians, but the girls in Brasov didn't seem to acknowledge them anyways.
2) Logistics. Rent a place close to the square and you'll be fine, choose elsewhere and you may have problems. The place i rented from AirBnB was $30 CAD a night and a 5-minute walk from the square. You can find cheap rentals close by for cheap. When you go to rent a place, ask if the host will show you around. I can't overemphasize this enough. It's an instant boost if a foreign girls sees you with a local, or you get introduced to her friends, and its so so easy.
3) Getting to Brasov. Taxi scammers, and long-train rides sum up my transport in Romania. I've traveled enough that I don't get scammed, but I see people falling into the same traps. Also, the train from Gara de Nord to Brasov isn't the prettiest, and is very slow. Takes 2.5 hours some days, takes 4 hours the other. Book a ticket using the CFR website (but do it a couple days in advance, and you get a discount, I think 10%~). The buses are pretty well connected, however.
