The National Bank of Romania

The National Bank of Romania (BNR - Banca Națională a României) stands on the site of one of am old famous buildings: Hanul Șerban Vodă. From 1678 until 1883 it was the home of various activities: from a pub to an inn and to a girl's dormitory! After two fires gutted the building, the land was levelled and in 1883 work began on the BNR, completed to the designs of French architects Cassien Bernard and Albert Galleron in 1885. Built in a French, neo-classical style, the building boasts a facade with Corintian columns, and an enormous central banking hall. The passing of time has seen the building become rather hemmed in, but it remains a classic worthy of admiration.

The way

It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

You

Did you find out who you are? But did you find out who you aren't?

Dream!

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. (C.S. Lewis)

Why?

At some time in our evolution, the existential questions arise: what is our role on Earth, where did we come from, what happens after? (And many more in the same register.) There are theories, specialists and attempts to answer. Although we can not clearly tell why, with some of the theories, we resonate immediately, others, although with many followers, we categorize them irreversibly as aberrant.

Discover Kansas City

Known as the “Heart of America”, Kansas City doesn’t just get its nickname because it is located within 250 miles of both the geographic and population centers of the nation; the city will charm you with its big-hearted graciousness and hospitality. And the heart of KC is the Central Station. Start your discover from here!

Quick Tip: KC is a city that doesn’t take care of boundaries. Be sure, at least in the first day here, where the hotel is. It is not good at all, after 23 hours trip, to take a cab, to know that your hotel is near 100-th Street and the taxi driver to ask:
      110-th? Where?
      In Kansas City, OF COURSE!!!
      Yes, but in Missouri or in Kansas?
I answer, in doubt, according with what I knew from a searching engine: "MO". But the address was on the other... state.

Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be. Karen Ravn
