Answer 2

Now you know about Romania that...

1. Dracula is not only an invention - he was a successful combination made by BRAM STOKER from a Romanian hero (Vlad the Impaler) and the Romanian folklore (vampires, BAUBAU - Boogie man, ghosts, ...)

2. NADIA COMANECI - the first gymnast in history of this sport who obtained a perfect 10.00 in 1976 in Montreal at the Ollympic Games. The Computer was not prepared for such experience, so all world saw "1.00" on the screen!

3. BRANCUSI - a wonderful Romanian sculptor, you can seen his works if you surf the Net...

4. The fountain pen was invented by the Romanian PETRACHE POENARU - he was student in Paris...

5. the food is GREAT in Romania:

we have SARMALE (pork meat balls rolled in cabbage leaves boiled in tomato sauce served with hot polenta + sour cream)

6. the Danube Delta is a wonderful place - one of the most extraordinary places in the world: a paradise of birds and fish, water channels, you can travel by boat, ...again, many pictures on the net

7. a country with MANY CASTLES AND NO DRAGONS...

PELESH Castle in Sinaia, BRAN CASTLE - also known as Dracula's castle...even if it was the property of the Romanian Queen for long time....

8. we have many winter resorts - POIANA BRASHOV is the most wonderful (my oppinion) - you can sky all day and ALL NIGHT! Or skate....or use a sledge...or walk in the snow

9. in summer, we go to the beach at the BLACK SEA (actually is blue and green and sometimes grey....but never BLACK...)

10. we are the majority Christian orthodox, but we have here Catholics and Muslims and Jews...and we live together in peace!

11. we speak foreign languages: each 4 th Romanian can speak either English or French or German or Spanish....

12. last year, SIBIU (a very beautiful city) was the Cultural Capital of Europe - and we had there many shows with dance and music....spectacular!!

Any more questions?
