                <description><![CDATA[because there is a huge but blistered and blemished and fading mural on the brick wall, crying out in its neglect to be documented but there's a nasty little man in a blue 'security' suit who'll jump out and shout at you if you do and tell you to wipe that smile and those photos off of your chip but he's stupid as well as small so just agree and pretend and look compliant and submissive and go away and when you ask the hotel manager are there any restrictions on taking photos in markets he'll say "No"..."that's funny 'cos i got shouted at in Obor market" "ah Obor market yes no photos allowed in Obor market".<br>  Nearby there is a great warren of stalls selling plumbing bits and bobs and stuff. Very relaxing.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[In the 19th century French architecture was very envogue. The city features a lot of large neoclassical buildings, parks and its own Arch de Triomphe. <br>It was built in 1922 to honour the bravery of Romanian soldiers who fought in World War I. In 1936 it was finished in granite. It’s 85 feet high and there is an interior staircase allowing you to climb upstairs and  enjoy a phenomenal view of the city.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Even if you are not a lover of classical music, just to experience the rich decor and the ambience this is worthwhile. <br><br>I paid less for a good ticket to a symphony concert than I would have paid for a coffee in the interval at a western European concert. <br><br>This city has so much to offer. It’s a shame it is often given such bad publicity.  It is cleaner and safer than many others and excellent value.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[One way to grasp the full scale of Ceausescu's grand scheme is to jump in a taxi and get the driver to take you round a full circuit of the palace. Only then can you come to terms with how big it really is - only the Pentagon is larger.]]></description>
