Bucharest, Romania- the rise from Communism into capitalism
From Krakow to Romania!! Took a train from Krakow to Wien then fly from Wien to Bucharest (Buchuresti) the capital city of Romania. A different place to travel as Romania used to be a communist country. Had their first election in 1990 and now its the wild east of Eastern Europe. Bucharest eclectic architecture is a mix of histortical and Communist-era and modern. The city's elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite earned the nickname Paris of the East (they even have the tower!). Although many of the building and districts in the historic centre were damaged by earthquakes and Nicolae Ceausescu's program of systematization have survived till today. Its definitely a different city compared to the rest of the capital cities I have been before.
