Sourbugger's guide to Romania...

by sourbugger

My online friend Kay (VT Name Kyoub) asked me about Romania : so here is allyou need to know about the country -Romania ? interesting. it changed it's name from Rumania to sound moreEuropean. It used to have a regular nutter as its president incommunist times (as opposed to the USA who only,,,but I digress) whospent about 75% of the nation's GDP on his palace. The country lookslike it last had a lick of paint in 1957. And they used grey paint.

Fresh air and gorgeous landscapes

by missundaztood_5

for as long as can help...Romania it's not much more expensive than Bulgaria...and the sea-side it's okay...From baneasa you can takethe bus (335,131,311)...depends where you want to get...requiring information should be easy,as most romanian people know some english and are friendly people. As for the sea-side...depending on age...there are several places you can go...you can go to Costinesti(recomended...I have relatives there...and they rent private suits for low prices)....and BTW...they are civilised :) and of course there is "Mamaia"...but it's kind of expensive...and I can't provide you with information,as I've never been there...al I know is that they hav soft-sand beaches,and high quality services... I love Romania because:-you can always find friendly people to help you-because of the landscapes...mountains and the sea-because of it's cultural side-because The House Of...

The Latins of the Balkans

by patricia_taft

There are some places that you go where you only remember the sights and some places you go where you only remember the people...Romania is an unusual mix of both. I was first in Romania back in 1998 when I was living in next-door northeastern Hungary and was back last year. In 1998, the country was still the wild, wild west of Eastern Europe and the people reflected a temperment of Latin passion combined with Balkan melancholy. The country was still pretty far behind its more western neighbors in terms of tourist facilities and you definitely got the impression, in some towns, that nobody had bothered to tell these folks that Communism was over. Not anymore. Romania today is a country that should not be missed. From the medieval towns of Transylvania (Sigisoara, Brasov and Sibiu should not be missed) to the capital of Bucharest and all its monstrosities, it is a country worth a visit....

Dracula places

by bresars

First of all, Romania has great castles and surroundings nearby mountain of Carpats, and very tasty wine, the one is very cheap too. The city town of place Targu-Mures is exceptionally good one, so beautiful narrow streets and a feeling that you are out of Europe. Walking cows on the road, people sitting nearby main roads and following their sights up to pass by cars.

My little precious bebies

by lynn16778987654

I guess what I loved the most about all of Romania is the beauty. Unbelievable magnolia trees everywhere, and just green green, green. (ecept for all the garbage lying everywhere.) I had a great time meeting people and learning about all their views and culture. I took a roadtrip all around romania with a friend, everything is amazing. The churches and cathedrals are unbelievable, and the 'special' romanian wine is crazy!!!!! The wildflowers grow everywhere, and the clubs are great!! I lived at a orpahanage for 3 months, and the kids there where amazing, i grew way to attached to these little monkeys, but it was worth it. These kids really didnt have anything, so I loved seeing there faces light up when they would see me... They would say "mama" and run and tackle me to the ground. It is extremely sad to see, and I know romania is poor, but even the people who have money will just hand...

Long distance travel is easiest with companions

by Mique

Romania is no small country though not very very big either but you can easily have trips of 7 hours or more by train or bus. So the best way to kill time is to have a few travel companions. And of course to take the night trains. We did both and brought along 3 friendly bottles of wine to help us sleep since the compartment was very hot and we couldn't get the light out. Of course we didn't know that before we boarded the train but we thought we'd better be prepared :-)

Very poor country

by deeper_blue

Romania was the penultimate European nation to abandon Communism, the lasting legacy of Nicolae Caucescu was appalling debts and countless orphans.I am not an expert in social class system and economics, but it is clear that many many Romanians suffer from poverty and there exist the elite few and no middle class.There still exists a lot of corruption and injustice, there are large Hungarian minorities (mainly in Transylvania) and gypsies or Roma, beware of being overwhelmed by the begging. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4630855.stm
