This is just a little part of what Romania can show. The nature,the people, the places...just magnificent !
Romania, in southeast Europe, is mountainous in the north while the main feature in the south is the vast Danube valley. The
river forms a delta as it approaches the Black Sea, which is a wildlife reserve for countless native and migratory birds.
The
Romanian parliament consists of two chambers, the Senat (Senate) and the Camera Deputatilor (Chamber of Deputies). The members of
both are chosen in elections held every four years.
Ethnically, the population is 90% Romanian and 7% Hungarian. The Romanian
language, like a number of others in southern Europe, is directly descended from Latin, although Romania is separated from other Romance-language
countries by Slav speakers. Romania has considerable natural resources – oil, natural gas, coal, iron, copper and bauxite. Metal-working,
petrochemicals and mechanical engineering are the main industries.
Romanian speciality dishes include grilled meatballs, meat
wrapped in cabbage leaves, pork stew with garlic and onions and doughnuts made with cream and cheese.
The spine-chilling tale
of Dracula was inspired by the 15th century Romanian Count Vlad Dracul whose son was famous in wartime for impaling captured enemies.
Less notorious Romanians include the writer Eugene Ionesco, the gymnast Nadia Comaneci and the composer George Enescu
