Strange but true. This was taken outside PHD, Calea Vitan. (PHD is the home delivery arm of Pizza Hut).
Quite why they have to so heavily guard their rubbish is anyone’s guess. Surely it couldn’t be because – in this city of milk and honey – hungry people rifle through bins for something to eat?
I think we should be told.

I know Vitan Barzesti Sunday market all too well, I live close by. It is not the market that is a problem per se but the people who come to sell their cars there, and just park them where they like. The police even help them do it. Another example of why there are so many problems in Bucharest: the police are useless.
They tie the bin with chains so that people don’t steal it. If you know Vitan-Barzesti fair, a garbage bin would probably be worth 30 RON in there! By the way, I’d love to read your comments about Vitan-Barzesti fair, please try go there on a Sunday morning around 8 o’clock and take your camera with you, it’s gonna be the hell of an article!
Well, as the fast food thing is rubbish in the first place, fast food leftovers and remains cannot be golden. One might therefore come to the conclusion that the bin itself is more precious than the fast food bits and pieces it contains. So it is crystal clear that we Romanians appreciate and value the things we attach chains to: garbage bins, those fences or poles we use to mark Our parking place, bikes and those heavy, shiny crosses we wear around our neck.
