Hello everyone!!! This is a very special post for Suki because she asked me about my hometown. As you all know I leave in Bucharest, Romania. Bucharest is the capital of Romania since 1862; the first references about Bucharest appeared in 1459. In the period between the two World Wars, because of the city’s architecture and the presence of sophisticated elite, Bucharest was nicknamed “Paris of the East” or “Little Paris”. The communist years and the earthquake (1977) damaged a part of the city. But the specialists say that the city experiences a cultural and economic boom after the European Union integration. And here are a few photos :) The photos are taken from: my humans' camera.
This is the Arch of Triumph, built in 1922, after Romania gained its independence, so that the victorious troops could march under it. It is opened only on December 1, the Romanian National Day
.
The Romanian Athenaeum was built in 1886; it is the main concert hall and the home of “George Enescu” Philharmonic.
This is “University Square”, one of the biggest squares in Bucharest; this is the place where a part of the Romanian Revolution took place.
The Palace of the Parliament; its original name was House of the People; it’s the second largest building in the word after the Pentagon.
Cercul Militar Central, the cultural meeting place of the Romanian Army, built in 1912.
The National Museum of Art
University of Bucharest
The Statue representing a she-wolf, symbol of Latinity, was a gift from the Museum of Rome (1906)… the statue with the she-wolf and Romulus and Remus, the founders of Antic Rome.
"The Village Museum" is an open-air ethnographic museum, showcasing traditional Romanian village life. The museum extends to over 100,000 square meters, and contains 272 authentic peasant farms and houses from all over Romania.
Well, I told you I’m a weirdo… Let me tell you something about my really, really bad habit that drives my humans insane! Biting their feet, trousers, sleepers, toes… when they walk! And I’m acting like a maniac! If they say “stop” I’m biting harder! It’s fuuun! Oh yes it is! You should see the look on their faces when they go for a cup of tea (for example) and they wake up with ME attached to their feet. They’ve tried everything to stop me doing that but they have no chance! It’s too much fun! These are a few shots that my human with the computer tried to take while I was doing my best in biting one sleeper.
