Back in Romania! Less traffic than ever…

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Buna dimineata to everyone! Yesterday I came back to Bucharest and I had a big shock! First of all, it was Monday evening at 19.00, the busiest time of the week (together with Friday) and the queue at passport control was almost 0! Then the luggage came in no time! And after we drove from Otopeni airport to the centre of the city in 20 – 22 minutes! Not a lot of cars, no traffic at all!
I know it is not so good to have empty streets, it is a clear sign for the economy. But on the other hand, at least let us not be so negative and enjoy the small daily pleasures like this!

PS. I also noticed just one single super expensive car driving, a… red Rolls Royce convertible… no Bentley etc, more “medium class” cars around me than ever…Buna dimineata to everyone!
