Bucharest (Bucuresti) is situated on the banks of the Dâmboviţa River, which flows into the Argeş River, a tributary of the Danube. Several lakes – the most important of which are Lake Floreasca, Lake Tei and Lake Colentina – stretch across the city, along the Colentina River, a tributary of the Dâmboviţa.
Bucharest's cultural scene is much more eclectic, without a defined style, and instead incorporates various elements of Romanian and international culture. Bucharest has an eclectic mixture of elements from traditionally Romanian buildings to buildings that are influenced by French architects. It is because of this French influence that Bucharest was once called "the Paris of the East" or "Little Paris". Bucharest is the capital of Romania with a total population of 2.3 million. It is situated at about half distance between the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountains and near the Danube river, in a temperate - continental climate (-3 degree in January and 25 degree in July). Bucharest is the city of many parks and gardens, surrounded by lakes and forests. During the 1930's its tree-lined boulevards and architecture gave it the nickname 'Little Paris'.

Saturday morning it became a bit noisy in our dormitory room as some people were leaving already quite early. Us three were just too tired and sleepy to get up early. It was around 9:30 when me and Dan suddenly decided it’s time to start a new day. Karri needed a little bit more to recover. I took a quick shower first and while Dan was taking one I went quickly to the post-office I saw the day before to try to get some postcards. The girl from the reception told me to try it there. It ...

But hey you got to give it a change so here I am ready t...
