Back in Romania, Bucharest

So since one week I'm back in Romania. I can't really say that it felt like coming home, but it felt normal and good, even thought I will miss the people from home even more now... Anyway I decided to stay a few days in Bucharest before returning to Dolj and my home community Dabuleni. Anna from Germany arrived back at the same day and we decided to spend to nights at Friends' Hostel and see the city.


First we visited the National Museum of Litterature. It was ok, missed some better descriptions of the objects.



This is a statue in front of the National Theater.


A monument to the Revolution against Ceausescu and the Communism in -89



A really cool outdoor photo exhibition about drugs and poverty in Romania, and particularly around Bucharest


The Bucharest Mall



Some old historical buildings in the Historical Center, a church and a bank


Part of the Historical Center, my favorite part of Bucharest, also where we partied all night the last time we were here the night before I returned to Sweden



Dambovita River 


In the night we bought some wine, it didn't go so well to open it without a corkscrew so I ended up filtering the wine... It tasted good thought!



In the pub with Anna, our German and English friends who we met in the hostel also joined us


Our room in Friend's Hostel, which I can really recommend! 9 euro for a shared bedroom, breakfast, wi-fi, nice staff, good bathrooms and close to the gara (train station)! :)


And this is the Parliament in Bucharest, second largest (administrative?) building in the world after Pentagon. We didn't visit it this time, because we saw it on our first day in Romania when we were picked up at the airport
