Bucharest buildings

Last day of the meeting here and we are down to the difficult ones. There are 40 minutes left and still 6 resolutions to approve. Those countries who are involved in discussions are doing the Most work but in general most countries are still in the plenary.
I am trying to listen but use the time to write up my notes from the meeting.
Just a bit about my tour Wednesday and the view of buildings from the top of the bus. The city really has a great collection of monumental buildings. Here and there you can see buildings that are not in use at all and are falling apart. Others have been taken over by hotels. But by and large most are still in use. one of the pictures is the palace of the people where the ramsar meeting is being held. It was only built in the
1980s but you can see that it is mimicking the style of an older buildings. It is grossly overdeveloped and the guide book says hundreds of houses and churches were razed or moved for the building. Sounds like it was the last straw for the people because in the 1989 revolution the crowds poured in and he had to escape by helicopter but was tracked down somewhere in Romania and shot.
You will also see an unusual sculpture, a black blob on a white arrow like structure. There are two of these and they were designed Nd installed to remember those who dies in the
1989 revolution. Locals call them olives on a stick. When you get close the black blobs look burned and there is a smear of red which I think is supposed to be blood. There are also some lovely parks in the town, one that was like a small forest.
