AFI Cotroceni — Local services in Bucharest

I wanted to stay forever and I'm not a mall or shopping girl. I loved it here, oh my god. Best mall I've ever been in. Pretty much they have all the shops you could want, (well except for a comic shop perhaps, but I'm sure there's one in Romania somewhere) I loved going into C and A, and Yves Rocher, long since absent from the UK. I found a fantastic shop selling Art materials and Stationery and a version of WH Smith that sells all the magazines you want. The largest shop Auchan, a Belgian shop I was told similar to Tesco literally sells everything, and has some kind of goods shop like Argos in there, along with a bunch of counters selling cheese and sushi and goodness knows what. They had cosmetics and toys and clothes alongside groceries. I kept hearing people screaming while I was there and came out to find a rollercoaster above the shop! I, being a girl into comics and games was somewhat entranced by this, so I took the escalotor up and above Auchan I discovered is as well as a rollercoaster, an Arcade, Gaming lounge, Cinema, and a mall train. Yes a mall train, for kids mostly but in such a big mall, not a bad idea to get you back the other end of the place before your feet get sore. There is also a Musuem of Senses and a soft play my son did not want to leave. Did I mention there's a waterfall, an Ice rink, a super slide and they have an electronics recycling point for small devices (come on UK we need these too!) There are numerous places to eat with very delicious food, I'm really suprised I wasn't charged for MY excess weight on the...

Crowded and cheap. I set this place for a meeting with an old friend of mine, thinking that can be a enjoyable location with parking and places to eat; indeed there is a parking place, but I will speak about this later; we choose some kind of beef restaurant on the first floor which was a disaster, not eatable food, poor service and dirty , the table was sticky ... disgusting. After the meeting I was searching for a toilet, was a really adventurous to find one, because are not marked properly, finally I found one far from restaurant area and it was so dirty like a toilet from country side Indian bus station , you cannot imagine ( there was some people around looking like Indians , who knows).The adventure is not finished here , it was needed another 20 minutes to find my car on the parking. I will totally avoid this place, too crowded , too...
