Impersonal



I'm not so fond of these modern buildings that have appeared in Bucharest the last years.
Of course they seem modern, functional and "Western" and they look better than the old grey blocks of flats, but they do not say much.
They could be anywhere in the world and shelter anything. They have no personality, just a lot of glass.
I like the old Bucharest buildings more, with their "wrinkles" and their past.

What do you think? How about your place?

Bucharest by Night



Bucharest is never completely asleep. There are always works that must take place during the night, shops that never close, young people in the streets, lights, traffic.
I like going out and walking at night and feeling that life goes on. But what I like the best is seeing a lit window here and there. Someone is there awake, thinking, reading a book, working or just watching TV. And it's almost company.
To those sleepless ones, a warm thought.
And to all of you, too!
