Even though it looks like a post war city, Bucharest is nothing but trying to value its inheritance, by having some archaeological digging right down the city center. However, I do not understand what is the plan.

The estimated time of finishing the archaeological activities was 1st september and now it seems like thye’re way off the deadline because the streets still look deserted and dirty. There is no evidence of anything happening there right now, not even a decent sidewalk starting to being built. For now the downtown is no longer a downtown. The local resturants and stores are complaining about a significant decrease in sales and there are less people walking around than you can see in a 2sqm kiosk. The plan is that after all this is done - whenever that is - they thought of covering the ruins with glass so people can see and enjoy them. I think this is pretty original, I have never really seen something like this before. They could use some pretty cool lights in the night too!

But one thing is for sure. They’d have to have guards or some pretty good fences to prevent Romanians from not stepping over the glass for photos so they can say “Here, there’s me with the Bucharest ruins!”.
