Face Lift

It seems that my apartment building is getting a major 'renovation'. The scaffolding is now covering the entire front side. I'm thankful that my apartment is on the backside of the apartment building although I'm sure I'll get to endure plenty of time with the scaffolding covering my windows and feeling like my privacy is being invaded soon too. They are covering the entire exterior with thick styrofoam. I suppose it has something to do with hoping to make the concrete buildings retain more heat. We'll see if it actually works.

You can also see in the picture above just a small sample of Bucharest traffic. Elementary and secondary students started this Monday and most colleges will resume at the beginning of October.
