Capsa Bucharest

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 scuarul din fata Casei Poporului, in zona interzisa circulatiei, pe o suprafata de cateva sute de metri patrati. Intru in zona ingradita in care se desfasoara manifestatia si constat ca de data asta ofertele ...

... Peles castle made for a tremendously satisfying whole, and every reason for a visitor to lose themselves in the resort town's undeniable charm. Looking back, the trip to Bucharest was as much about rewarding experiences as it was about the fabric of the place itself, and illustrates how a European city which ranks as 'off the beaten track' to many tourists has a certain hidden power to grab you by the lapels and demand your attention.

... care nu doar ca “lucreaza” pentru o categorie restransa, ca in statele sud-americane, dar creeaza si iluzie, si “legenda imobiliara” il constituie asa-numita “zona metropolitana Bucuresti”, ce va modifica radical nu realitatea, ci perceptia asupra pietei imobiliare pe o suprafata cu raza fenomenal de larga."

poate din cauza ca omul are dreptate sau poate pentru ca e cel mai virulent critic al imobiliarismului de Bucuresti care imi displace atat de mult.

... era building and is the largest parliament in the world I believe. In fact, it's still not quite finished. Don't know if it ever will be as the Romanian government can hardly keep up with the electricity bills as it is. The building is far too large for the country's parliament so they do rent out rooms for conferences and what not. You can also go on tours of a small part of the building that requires planning. Apparently when they say reservations recommended ...

... from City. Bucharest has nice park but need more tender and caring. I love read books in the park. The museums are free of charge, nice and big. Almost everywhre in the city you could find museum. Love it !! Defenetly wnna back to Bucharest but I must sve a lot of money, because everyting is very expensive for my Asian money!

... for his hospitality and loaded up our food and water and heading over to the apartment for the night. The apartment was recently renovated and it had no furniture in it. It was an oasis in what could have been a bad situation. Adrian got us into the place and we thanked him again for his hospitality. There is no way in the world you could ever repay someone for opening their hearts and homes to 2 Canadian backpackers. We looked at each other in awe of what ...

... he was removed of his leadership duties by the group. Ended up going for dinner, going back to the hostel, watching a little TV and hitting the sack. This was Bucharest. There are two airports in Bucharest - the main, modern one that most people use - and the one I was flying out of, Baneasa Airport. Two doors leading to the tarmac and a tiny waiting room past security, it reminded me of a larger version of the Powell River airport. From what I could ...

... any problems in Romania. He agrees that some people are a little backwards, but all are friendly, and he thinks we'll have nothing to worry about. I devour the meager rations and endeavor to doze. After a 7.5-hour flight to Frankfurt and another 2-hour flight to Romania, I am safe and sound in a truly fabulous hotel - the Marriott Grand. Built at the same time as the nearby "People's Palace," and in the same imposing style, the government intended it to be occupied by the ...

... any little booths near the entrance that may or may not have been the ticket office - Ooops! We DIDN'T see it - I swear. But then again we weren't looking. Most of us got up into the grounds and thought it was strange that we hadn't seen any ticket gates and didn't want to make anyone angry so turned around and came out... without trying to go further. Although a few people went all the way in...for free... yes they'd moved the ticket gate. Oh well ...

... kept feeding us until we fished out our Lonely Planet guides, flicked to the phrase section and managed "Nu mai pot" (I'm full). Chris' host brother Adrian is quite the photographer, and after viewing his entire collection we headed off to his friend Flavia's place for someones birthday. Here we had our first taste of cheap Romanian wine.....it was cheap. Hmm what else...oh yeah I met all the other GAPpers (Chris 1, Chris 2, Jemima, Jodie, Emily, and ofcourse Marie!), we ...
