Bucharest - moving forward
My impression of Bucharest after admittedly a brief stay is that it is a recovering democracy. We have traveled to several former communist block countries since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1991. The first place was Prague 6 months after the fall when we saw a place bruised and battered - struggling to become a democracy. Last year we visited again and Prague and the Czech Republic are a thriving example of a new republic. We have visited many Eastern European capitals
