A Weekend in Bucharest
25th - 26th June, 2011
We loved Bucuresti, and, apart from a hot hostel room, enjoyed our stay there very much. Highlights were a tour of the Palace of Parliament, Ceausescu's megalomaniacal project, that was still unfinished when he was executed in 1989, the outdoor Village Museum, where we managed to catch a couple of hours of a weekend-long folk music festival, and a guided walk through the old city. We also saw bits of a couple of other musical events: an orchestral concert in the city and the tail end of a folk music festival in Cismigiu Park, just across the road from our hostel.
You can see more of the music in videos Raymond will be putting up on his channel. Here is the first one, showing the Popular Romanian Songs concert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf85hHE7h8s
