Visited Bucharest recently too with the Oistat Architecture Commission - a city that tells its pre- and post-communist history in its buildings. Visited theatres including the 1911 Teatrul Odeon and magnificent Corbusier inspired 1973 Teatrul Naţional "Ion Luca Caragiale. Return trip being planned!
