Bucharest

Spent six nights in Bucharest doing things that the locals do. Had a good time. Very rarely thought of taking photos though. On the last day I took a few hurried photos of some noteworthy architectural works around town. Not too exciting, I realize.















Driving in Bucharest really quite something to behold. I'd describe it as frenetic chaos: a constant stream of apparent close-calls with high-speed multi-directional clearances between autos and pedestrians on the order of centimeters. Everyone breaks hard and very late as well. I too like to drive fast, but even from my perspective, everyone drives uncomfortably fast through the narrow lanes and blind turns. Lane boundaries are disregarded and pedestrians cross the street wherever they find it convenient to do so. It seems to work well though.

Pedestrians beware.



I was profoundly saddened by the untimely loss of troubled soul Amy Winehouse. An amazing and colossally gifted singer. Unfortunately I missed the chance to see her perform live.
