I could not believe how empty the streets were. Especially on Tunari street, where you have those worn out tram lines next to old villas and little narrow side-streets, everything seemed so different than usual. The tram passed by every 10 minutes, there were some pedestrians from time to time- but that was it. Then I imagined how it used to be not so long ago in the old neighborhoods of Bucharest, without so many cars like nowadays. I must admit I loved the atmosphere. Now I think I should not start to bash the traffic and the behavior in Bucharest-everybody does and knows.

But what amazes me is that the Minister of Tourism announced that Bucharest could be a wellness destination, and the street holes should be used as a competitive advantage for tourists. This way tourists could take a horse sledge and experience authentically street holes. Well, at least she is optimistic and tries to see things positively…
