    \n\n
  1. The Mihai I<\/a> Park in the outskirts. If you come to the capital for just one day, spend it here.\n<\/li>\n\n
  2. Cheerful morning.\n<\/li>\n\n
  3. Rest in peace.\n<\/li>\n\n
  4. Atmospheric restaurant \u201cLibrary\u201d with good cuisine right in the middle of the park.\n<\/li>\n\n
  5. Meow to you.\n<\/li>\n\n
  6. The open air Village Museum is the pearl of Bucharest. Ethnographic encyclop\u00e6dia of Romania over several centuries.\n<\/li>\n\n
  7. There are more than a hundred houses from all over the country, all authentic. Carefully disassembled, transported and reassembled.\n<\/li>\n\n
  8. You can go into some and admire the interior. Watch your step!\n<\/li>\n\n
  9. Kitchen, bedroom, dining room, everything is at hand. A typical \u201cstudio\u201d of a Transylvanian peasant.\n<\/li>\n\n
  10. Not only the houses, but also the infrastructure have been recreated! \n<\/li>\n\n
  11. Monumental gates.\n<\/li>\n\n
  12. Carved crosses.\n<\/li>\n\n
  13. A modest cart for various household needs.\n<\/li>\n\n
  14. Even the trash cans are made with soul and love.\n<\/li>\n\n
  15. A church from Dragomire\u0219ti erected in 1722 on the ashes after the Turkish invasion. The tombstone under the fir is from the Merry Cemetery<\/a>. \n<\/li>\n\n
  16. A wealthy house from the village of Cherelu\u0219 in western Romania. Stone foundation, oak beams, daub, whitewash, reed.\n<\/li>\n\n
  17. The unfocused mother seems to be out of business, but she\u2019s vigilant, actually.\n<\/li>\n\n
  18. Southern dugouts were built not by the poor, but by the smart ones, as protection from strong winds, temperature changes and Turkish raids.\n<\/li>\n\n
  19. A modest mill. Protected by a kitty.\n<\/li>\n\n
  20. Back to civilisation.\n<\/li>\n\n
  21. A pompous mound in honour of the European Union.\n<\/li>\n\n
  22. Surrounded by the dimensionless heads of European bureaucrats. Looks creepy.\n<\/li>\n\n
  23. A cosy bench invites you to meditate.\n<\/li>\n\n
  24. Bronze animals scattered throughout the park.\n<\/li>\n\n
  25. Caryatids vary in poses.\n<\/li>\n\n
  26. This is the general! Plaza of Charles de Gaulle suddenly.\n<\/li>\n\n
  27. And lastly, I went to the so-called Dinosaur Museum, which turned out to be a poor plastic squalor. Don\u2019t go there.\n<\/li>\n\n
  28. \u201cIf only adults like poetry, it probably isn\u2019t children\u2019s poetry. But if only children like poetry, it\u2019s not poetry at all.\u201d\n<\/li>\n\n
  29. Even the Toothless Dragon is of very dubious authenticity. Where did he get his teeth from?\n<\/li>\n\n
  30. The children of the underground wish you good night.\n<\/li>\n\n<\/ol><\/div>\n\n\n\n
