Location: Bucharest, Romania
Last October, I was in Bucharest, Romania. Since the end of 42 years of Communist rule and the execution of Communist Party General Secretary Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena in 1989, I’ve found a country on the road to full recovery and people more optimistic about the future. Of course, a short visit doesn’t make one an expert, but I want to believe. I really want to believe as kids crossing the street feel comfortable and safe.

I visited Romania in 1977. Ceauśescu ran the country with a firm hand, Jimmy Carter was president. It was before villages were razed to make way for “modernization,” and everyone knew where the “mental institution” was that housed political prisoners. Wishing the best for the Romanian people!

the ghost of communist rule still haunts the balkans with almost abandoned villages and soviet-style public housing. but things are getting better.
