Freedom to breathe clean air may keep you free from lung cancer but nevertheless the word freedom in the phrase 'freedom from cancer' is a different meaning of the word freedom. I do not see why I am entitled to breathe clean air on someone else's property but if it it decided that for health reasons I am so entitled then this, even if a good thing, is clearly a restriction of freedom in the usual sense of the word.Political Refugee from the Global Villagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523068770529814044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-40183667151898858422013-06-28T14:27:30.726+03:002013-06-28T14:27:30.726+03:00great article!

Most people say I am crazy because I didn't remain in predictable, boring Switzerland to get rich but life is really nice here for me and my Portuguese expat boyfriend that felt in love with Vama Veche at first glance. As for the hidden places you talk about, I am also discovering lots of them together with my 3rd year architecture university students group...most of these in the ex-Jewish headquarters. As a friend and colleague architect says: Bucharest is an original combination of the over-imposing of Turkish, French and communist influences that make it unique !Ancanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-1493676584196325492013-03-28T21:33:26.229+02:002013-03-28T21:33:26.229+02:00I was happy to read this, while Buc isnt my true l...I was happy to read this, while Buc isnt my true love - Cluj and Romania are mine - nice to know there are others like me who have fallen in love with romania - the place which I call my home.amy marie adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157004478497383711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-81666800380187087172013-03-28T21:31:39.269+02:002013-03-28T21:31:39.269+02:00I was happy to read this, while Bucuresti isnt my ...I was happy to read this, while Bucuresti isnt my true love - Cluj and Romania in general is mine - nice to know there are others like me who have fallen in love with romania - the place which I call my home - an expat in Clujamy marie adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157004478497383711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-69486216297120148202013-03-28T12:32:42.360+02:002013-03-28T12:32:42.360+02:00I love this article.

I can see your effort to be objective in your own way and by your own standards. it helps a lot, I think, because it brings clarity to the foreign reader. Sometimes when you describe your love for Bucharest, and for its decay, you shock Romanians and confuse foreigners. But here, i think, you have brought some clarity as in why someone should or could appreciate derelicness, as a travel through time and cultures. Looking forward to more articles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-79104668613035192062013-03-28T12:17:10.977+02:002013-03-28T12:17:10.977+02:00Emsky, thank you very much!

The wonders of the west are becoming quite under appreciated in the west, with continuous efforts to change. Most of the time lost things cannot be found again.

Once we have it, it's possible we won't like it anymore and want to go back or change or want something else. You say Romania is still free from the constraints of western civilization and democracy, but it's those constraints that we aspire to :) However, I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy those potholes in Bucharest asphalt for many years to come. For me it's nice to read good things about this city - town as you call it - as almost all Romanians dis it relentlessly, praising the wonders of the west. As we live here, I think we must learn to like and love it.
