Basarab Overpass 2.0

On the tramway line, at Basarab Overpass, around 2a.m.

Traffic - Victoria Avenue

Light traffic on Victoria Avenue.
This is probably one of the most crowded streets in Bucharest, since the City Hall decided that is better to cut out one of the 3 lanes of the street and leave it with only 2 lanes...for a street that connects the north side of the city with the center.

Railways

In Romania it's like this : 70% of the trains are new...200% of the railways are very old, and because of this the railway transport it's still mediocre.

Tramway 21

This is one of the few times i will ever post something bad about Bucharest. Thank you. :)

5 years passed since i moved to Bucharest. Before moving here, to university, i said this : 'I have to move here because i love diversity, and Bucharest is perfect"..And in a way, or another, i was right. But, there's a reason why 90% of stand up comedy shows in Romania have jokes about public transportation...it's awful, worst public transportation in the country..Smells? Yes..Crowded? Definitely..Loud music from personal phones, people rushing somewhere all the time, babies screaming, gypsies (there's a joke on facebook where it says : Romania it's the country where your wallet gets off the tramway one station before you do)....And yes, also my wallet got off the tramway a station before i did..once...If you ever visit Bucharest, try to find yourself a guide, a travel agency or a hotel which will pick you up from the airport. This is an advice if you want to have an amazing time here.

"I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing"

I have drafts saved usually for 2-3 days ahead of posting, and this picture today was not in those drafts. But, this morning heard on the radio Aerosmith - I don't wanna miss a thing which is one of my favorite songs, and i've instantly thought about this picture that i took last autumn in Herastrau Park.

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this.
