Sep 7th, 2009 by Craig Turp. We had a journalist (a real one, from a newspaper) in the office on Friday, asking, amongst other things, for our opinion on the new Tourist Information Centre at Gara de Nord (more on this soon). He also wanted to know what we thought were the five best and worst things about Bucharest. The worst five was easy: 1. Stray dogs 2. Sunflower seeds/litter in general 3. Drivers/Traffic/ Roads 4. Cables 5. Total absence of civic pride Easy enough. We could have listed 50 things. But what about the best things? What are the best things about Bucharest? We said… 1. It’s incredibly safe and free of violent crime (which brought surprised gasps from said journo) 2. Good primary schools (if you can get into the right one – we find out next Monday if this is correct) 3. Great parks (Titan and Tineretului) 4. It’s small and compact and easy to navigate 5… erm… that’s it. We couldn’t think of a fifth. At a push we went for the metro, which is now rather good. Now, as you might expect, our list betrays the fact that we are parents… It would have probably looked much different 10 years ago, when ‘the very reasonable price and wide availability of hairdressers’ would have almost certainly featured high in the list. So, did we get it right?
