White Night
Bucharest turned last Saturday night into a huge stage. The sleepless had the opportunity to take part in the first such event in our city, at the same time as the dwellers of Paris, Rome, Madrid, Bruxelles and Riga.
The day coincided with the 548th anniversary of Bucharest's first mention in an official document. After nightfall, the House of People became a huge screen for the lasers displays of the artists of "Urban Art". The ones who prefer concerts, theater shows, acrobats, extreme sports, huge dolls, parades or craftsmen could also chose according to their taste. There were contests and demonstrations, fireworks, grafitti, a multimedia show on Dambovita river and even an homage to Pavarotti. The museums were open all night long for their visitors. You could look at the town's panorama from he top of the Arch of Triumph.
Those who sacrificed a good night's sleep say it was worth it. Maybe I'll go too, next time, and tell you more about it.

There's also a White Night in Madird, but we don't have it here. Perhaps the concept is vry modern for this small town.
I like the ideas. The night provides people with a sort of freedom and warmth that the day doe not.
I'm afraid we won't see it in Ávila.
What about the rest?
