Sunday in Bucharest we had the schools parade (primary and high schools), which gathered on the streets of Bucharest some tens of thousands of young people (I heard an estimate of 20000, but think it was conservative, from the middle of it, they seemed many more). The demonstration was opened by a group of cheerleaders, of which I am going to post some pictures:

Enough cheerleaders? Let’s finish with a “normal” picture:

Vlad Andrei is going to join the world any time soon (probably in a couple of weeks), so preparing for that, me and his parents went for some photos in the park in a nice afternoon a couple of weeks ago:

I wish all the best to all of them, both the parents and their kid!

This was an unexpected attraction for Bucharest Days: a couple of geishas walking around on stilts and entertaining the audience. Yeah, their list of words, expressions and jokes was limited, but they were quite enthusiastic.

Sometime in September is the celebration of Bucharest Days, so this year for almost a full month (26 August – 18 September) there are supposed to happen various things in the Old City, as this is how the event is called this year, “Old City Days”. Being there for Wikipedia photo hunting I noticed the fair and the concert scene, so when done I returned for a bit of festival.

The band playing was one I had never heard before, Alimentation Générale, but they had a lot of atitude and poses, making the audience feel good: zilele bucurestiului

It was kind of frustrating to promote the Wiki Loves Monuments, make video tutorials, organize photo walks, but not upload any photo (I can’t and I won’t enter the contest, since I am organizer and judge). Until the solution stroke: there can be a photo category for organizers, which is counted for the total and seeding data, but not entering in the contest. Relief! A first batch is up, more are to come 🙂

One month it was skipped due to rain, the other I was was away for FLOSSCamp, in September I couldn’t miss Haramichi for the world 🙂 And here are a few pics:

From the photos above I can almost hear my readers “Wow! a darker Haramchi!”, no my friends, that was only a photographic angle, it was the same happy, joyful event as in the previous editions. haramichi

Saturday, being out in the city for the Wikipedia photography contest I saw in the Old City some manifestation for the Bucharest’s Days (it time allows, will follow with more posts on the topic) when I saw this funny T-shirt… I guess I am a natural born survivor, since I am what I like to call a “real bucureștean” (I say that especially when I saw people fromt he North-West of the country looking down to us with arrogance):
