    Old Bucharest was really nice. Too bad many of the old building got destroyed by Allied bombings, and got replaced with awful commieblocks.

    That's true. These were the good old days (supposedly). When my grandparents were just teenagers in the late 30s. I had some pictures of them in that era. They seemed to recall the inter-war period fondly. It was actually quite a wealthy country at the time, in part due to abundant oil exports and other resources. The commies ruined everything though.

    The Capsa hotel, which I stayed in a few nights, was an old building from 1852, and is still pretty nice, but I hear it's only a shadow of what it once was:

    Bucharest was a negligible small balkan place, which is obvious from their architecture.
