@@AshleyandChristian i am glad you liked my home town :) Next time i suggest staying for at least 3 days and hire a trusted local guide to get more juicy stories and context. I suggest taking a stroll up north on Calea Victoriei avenue all the way to the Triumph Arch and Press House, then visit the Village Museum and Herastrau Park. Lose yourself around the Dorobanti - Paris street area (full of century old mansions) and then relax in the Cotroceni neighborhood :) Bucharest is not your typical touristy city, but it safe, friendly and has a rich history (especially recent one) that makes for some great stories. Enjoy the journey and come back anytime :D

Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED."🥀🌺 God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. 🌹🌷 We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?🌿🌻🥀💮
