I have heard that Bucharest is nothing special to live in
Dirty, Grimy, full of unfriendly people, scams around every corner.
In complete contrast to its neighbours Moldova (poor but very decent) and Bulgaria (a wonderful country, one of the best I have experienced).

I know internet many times may not be a viable source of info, but also many times can be very beneficial.
I have just seen a Forbes publication listing the first 3 or 5 hundred richest Romanians. What striked me was their wealth combined sums exactly the total money received from EU. I thought EU gives money to its members for improving infrastructure or some forms of economic development?
Meanwhile the British homeowners got their propety taxes increased by 350-400 pounds a year to help Romania and Bulgaria's governments paying their subject salaries. Go figure! How strange that is?
