Bucharest, 17 September

I headed south from my hotel. A huge plaything for kids has sprung up in Isvor Park making the equipment that caught my attention on my first trip pale by comparison. This is even bigger than anything I've seen back home. Its so grand that I see a similarity with the building in the background—the Palace of the People (now Palace of the Parliament). Ceauşescu would be proud of this monumental structure—Palace of the Kids.
