Bucharest Walls

This city is at best 'elegantly wasted'. Bucharest's once beatiful architecture has been dealt a series of severe blows throughout the last century. With communism came the characterless blocks, Ceaucescu flattened some of the CIties most beautiful areas without a thought, and generally the major earthquakes every 40 years or so don't help much either. We've come from Shoreditch in London, so we're already familiar with the grey and the blocks. Its home from home for us.



Don't let that put you of, you can find beauty here, some of it obvious, some you have to look a little harder for. It's a bit like being on a desert island where the only girl is a bit spotty, a touch too skinny, and walks with a slight limp. After looking at here for a few weeks, the imperfections fall away and the character becomes clearer. Welcome to Bucharest.
