Dear friends,
Susie here. After a long journey through the Carpathian mountains I finally arrived in Romania’s capital city, Bucharest. It’s a very big and crowded place, but I really like it. The name comes from the word “bucur” which means joy or happiness. And it really is a fun place, I’ll tell you that.
Yesterday I visited the biggest building I’ve ever seen - the Palace of the Parliament. Its so big, the World Records Academy named it the world’s largest civilian building with an administrative function as well as the most expensive administrative building and the heaviest building in the world. Here I am, posing in front of it. I had to take the picture from very far away, so I could fit all of the building in the frame.

After this, my friends and I went for a drive around Bucharest city centre. We were stuck in traffic for ages.

| I even practiced my driving a little bit |
...and ages.

| I was ready to walk the rest of the way |
Ater what seemed like days, we managed to get to a lovely place called the Romanian Athenaeum. It’s a huge concert hall, similar to the Royal Albert Hall in London. This is where classical music concerts are perfomed almost daily. I was lucky enough to go in and listen to a symphonic concert, and I have to say I absolutely loved it. I’d really like to learn how to play the violin.

Bucharest is a great place to visit and I had a really lovely time, but I’m going to have to move on now. There’s still so much more to see. I decided to hitchhike for a while. I’m not sure where I’ll be heading next, but I bet it‘s going to be somewhere exciting. In the meanwhile, safety first.

Your friend,
