The Holiday Season in Bucharest
(Romanian: Bucureşti)
December 2009
The Holiday Season in Bucharest, Romania, December 2009
White December in Bucharest (December 18)


In Unirii Square (Piaţa Unirii) street vendors were selling sweaters, pajamas, sweatpants, hats and scarves, gloves, slippers, wallets, colored tights, and gemstone jewelry, among other things. The day I took this photo many of these wares were coated in snow.

The snowfall obstructed traffic in the city, so people relied on the metro/subway, buses, trolleybuses, and trams/streetcars. And cabs -- for a few days it was impossible to order one.
