Gheorge Sincai School
On the corner of Sincai and Tineretului Boulevards. First, to clarify: Boulevard (self explanatory), Strada (Street), Calea (Way), Piata (Square)...
Sunday, November 30 was election day.
Monday, December 1, was a national holiday celebrating 90 years since Romania united its provinces (more or less). This is why there are a lot of flags out and about.
I started a long walk from Boulevardu Tineretului, up to Piata Unirii, and then cut over to Strada Lipscani. I took lots of pictures from the streets around Lipscani, including Smardan, Franceza, Selari Nicolae, Doamnei, Hanul cu Tei, etc...Then, I got on Calea Victoria, passed Piata Revolutiei and continued up Victoria until I reached Piata Victoriei. I have included a link to a good map of Bucuresti, so you can get an idea of the layout:

It was a very foggy day and remember it is December, so it looks gloomy enough. I took pictures mainly of buildings and architectural details, though I also took a lot of pictures of graffiti. The graffiti drew me because it was either really weird or funny. I'll translate where necessary.
I have given some information in each caption, so enjoy! I will go back and fill in any information I
