Drumul Taberei

I spent this weekend in Drumul Taberei, a high density urban area in the south-west of Bucharest. It is typical communist block land. The apartments are called "cutii de chibrituri" which translates literally as "matchboxes" and the buildings repeat themselves as far as the eye can see. To its credit, the streets are tree-lined, it has a park with a lake and a swimming pool at its heart and, as it is a highly concentrated residential area, shopping facilities are good due to the abudance of hyper-markets.

The pictures above are from a factory i passed called monplast. Its produce proudly displayed in it's factory shop.
