Here we are in Piaţa Universităţii. It's the centre of Bucharest.
For those interested in history, this is where much of the action of the Romanian revolution took place.
There was a lot of fighting here with gunfire coming both from inside the University building and the Intercontinental Hotel.
There were barricades here on the evening of 22 December 1989
and the first people to be killed in the revolution in Bucharest were actually killed here.
There is a memorial to the victims in the middle of the square,
but because of the traffic, which you can see is absolutely crazy, it is very very difficult to get to.
