in the jungle
"You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby!" In a concrete jungle. That's all there is to Bucuresti. And we went off to see the Senate, from where Causcescu gave the final speech. And we went to see the Parliament [House of the People, as it was ...

Stop # 24

Here a stray, there a stray, everywhere a stray
The train from Chisinau, Moldova took me straight to Bucharest, the capital of Romania. My first day in Bucharest was Sept. 19. I went out to see the city and wandered past some buildings that are famous from the country's communist past. That included ...
Canadian christians in Bucharest
... and, after all of N. Korea, probably the second biggest monument to one dictator's insane megalomania bankrupting a nation. A sixth of Bucharest was razed to make way for the palace and gardens, and every aspect of the building- design, workmen, ...
In Bucharest
... for the non-updates. After an awesome overnight train ride in a first class sleeper car, we made it from Timisoara Romania to Bucharest Romania this morning. We're staying in a building that was clearly a part of Ceausescu's communist ...
Needs better giftwrapping

Blues and concrete
After a couple of days bush camping it was lovely to arrive at the campsite just outside Bucharest. No campfire but a new talent - a blues guitarist and very good he is too. We had 30th birthday to celebrate so it was definately party night! The ...
Beer and Circus Tricks
... people its sleep time. The next day most people go into town to do the tourist thing. I've only heard bad things about Bucharest (packs of dogs attacking people) and instead of proving the guide books wrong I decided to stay at the camp site and get to ...
SO I BOOK A REST IN BUCHAREST
... . I don’t know how Hernando’s story ends, either. Maybe he’ll e-mail me one day. Bucharest gets generally fairly mediocre reviews, but I find myself liking it. Maybe it’s the combination Slav-Latino culture. ...
A much needed break.
... transferring to a polish airline. Fortunately for us, both flights went off without a hitch and before we knew it we were in Bucharest, Romania. Now this was a culture shock after 7 weeks in UK and 1 week in Russia. Lets just say Bucharest has gone ...
More sea, more mountains, and a trot across Turkey
... European metropolis, but it sure doesn't feel safe at night and I was lucky to happen on a reasonably priced hotel quite quickly. Bucharest is sometimes described as the Paris of the East, but in my limited acquaintance with it it only matched Paris ...
Bedlam in Bucharest

Bucharest
Our first big, Eastern European city. And Bucharest definitely did not disappoint! We went on a tour of the Palace of Parliament, the second largest building in the world. The first largest is the US Pentagon. The Palace was intended ...

Nimic nou pe frontul de est
Ajung la Bucuresti pentru treburi la Ministerul Justitiei. Si daca tot sunt aici, ma hotarasc sa vizitez Targul Imobiliar National care se desfasoara in 24-27 septembrie in Piata Constitutiei. Atat de pompos numitul “Targ National” ocupa ...
