Je suis en Roumanie

Euronews is such that this week I find myself flying to Bucharest to visit the digital team working for the franchise operation Euronews Romania.

Our head of news is from Romania so I asked him for some advice about where to eat after I landed in the evening.

Traditional Romanian fare

He recommended a restaurant where it’s traditional to start with a plum brandy so we did, followed by polenta and mince wrapped in cabbage leaf and some more….. cabbage and polenta.

Might try something else tomorrow night.

While in Bucharest we got the chance to tour the Peoples Palace – built by Ceaucescu and one of the biggest buildings in the world and billed as the heaviest!

The ceiling in the Chamber of Deputies
And underneath it some politicians
The scale of the place is incroyable
Vraiment incroyable
Dracula’s cousin?
The world’s biggest chandelier
Even the lift attendants were talented
And amazing views of the new cathedral being built
