Bucharest, Romania

Bucharest is a fascinating city to walk around. The large scale communist buildings and apartment blocks took away from the original beauty of the city from years ago. It is a bit difficult to navigate your way around especially the numbering system of the housing so I would recommend a map. Life is busy in the capital city with good food, plenty of nightclubs and various parks to take a rest. Gypsies are scattered around the landscape mixing in with the locals. Farmers with their old style wagons and horses roam the country side. I recommend a trip to Sighisoara and Brasov for any tourist wanting to experience the old culture and of course the stories of Dracula (more to come in my upcoming blogs).
