O data pe an, orasul meu se umple de lumina si ofera imagini spectaculoase. Edilii orasului incearca sa compenseze cumva pentru multele probleme de care ne lovim. Pun o masca deasupra orasului si matura mizeria sub covor. Tactica frunctioneaza si cel putin o data pe an vedem Bucurestiul intr-o lumina diferita. Luminitele se vor stinge in curand, asa ca e pacat sa nu le vedeti si voi. | Once a year, my hometown lights up and shines offering spectacular views. The town officials try to compensate for the many issues we are facing by putting on a mask and dusting the dirt under the rug. The thing is … this really works and each year we see this town in a better light (pun intended). So let me guide you through Bucharest before the pretty lights turn off. |
In cartierul meu am un parc micut, care an de an este plin de lumina si impodobit de Craciun, pentru cateva zile devine un loc de poveste. | As for the neighborhood that I am living in, we have a lovely park there that each year is filled with light and pretty decorations. |
Wow, those lights really make the city seem lively and happy. However, as I’m sure you know all cities have their issues, though some are worse than others.

Beautiful! I love seeing how different cities light up for Christmas.

It is certainly beautiful (as is another major Romanian city, Iasi, which I know rather better) but what a pity that some of that light cannot expose the sins of your government and, better, lead to a better life for the majority of Romanians.

You wrote that beautifully. We could do so much better, yet somehow I feel we have not reached the lowest point yet. I hope I am wrong.

With Christmas and the end of a year, always comes hope. Sweep away the old and try to do better is the motto, I guess. Thanks for sharing. Allan
