Bucharest, Romania

I got to Bucharest early early yesterday morning - after taking the night train from Chisinau. Borders are really starting to annoy me... because every time I go from one country to the next, there is always an exit border and an entry border. I'm happy to be in the EU and going to another EU country on my next trip tomorrow (to Bulgaria)
Bucharest is nice - Although I looks like the entire city needs a paint job. It looks like the city once was incredibly beautiful, or it has the potential to be incredibly beautiful. Everything here is a darkish gray color.

I also went to what all the people at the hostel were saying was the "second largest building in the world." (Somehow, in Bucharest). Obviously its not the tallest, so I was thinking it was maybe the biggest by volume?
Wikipedia says its the heaviest building in the world, lol. Whatever that means. Sick enough, I guess. The picture really doesn't show how big it is.

Also, another food picture. I've been carrying around a big 1kg bag of rice with me for weeks, and I've finally finished off all my pasta to start cracking into it. I had this for dinner tonight. It was absurdly massive, but was just what I needed (that's what she said). I kept getting looks from the guy beside me who couldn't speak English. I'm sure he was thinking "there is no way he is going to eat all of that."
Sorry for the long post :)
