Going back to Bucharest in a couple of weeks. Cant wait. Its tricky to explain the hold the city has over me. To give a flavour of the place, though, heres what Chambers Gazetteer (published 1906) has to say about the city - possibly of interest to Emilian Isaila and Daniela Isaila: A strange meeting-point of east and west the town as a whole is but meanly built [...] The number of cafes and gaming tables is excessive; and altogether Bucharest has the unenviable reputation of being the most dissolute capital in Europe, with all the vices but few of the refinements of Paris [...] Bucharest has been several times beseiged and between 1793 and 1812 suffered twice from earthquakes, twice from inundations, once from fire and twice from pestilence Start spreading the news Im leaving today I wanna be a part of it...
