| Hi, hello, salut and bună! Welcome in Romania... or the land of the well-known Count Dracula. Mwahaha! Joking! But this is one of our top well-known nicknames around the world. Anyway before telling you more about it I'd like to relate one school memory I have from when I was like 8-9 years old. It was during one of those geography hours when our teacher (we call it învăţător in roumanian) asked us to tell her with which or what our country's shape looks like. Of course, I raised my hand and bravely answered: "a fish. Romania is a fish". All the class started laughing at me including my teacher then after all it was over she corrected me: "Our country looks like a bouquet of flowers. If you will rotate it with the top up it will look like a bouquet of flowers". Good answer... but it did not sattisfied me and while all my class always saw in it a bouquet a flowers I always saw a fish. That's right! A big, fat fish with the mouth opened.
Now after years, because of the technology and internet, I have realised the most important thing. IT WAS A FISH ALL DAY LONG! I MEAN COME ON GUYS JUST LOOK AT IT. I WAS SO RIGHT!!!
Lol. Okay, -cough-. Now that I calmed down and proved I was right it's time to do a little description about the place you're going to learn more about As you can see it's an european country. It has all the basic landforms (hills, mountains, sea, beach, valleys etc.) so you can always change between them if you get bored of one. Our closest sea is called the Black Sea (a very creepy name for my childhood as I used to think that if you go in it there will come an enormous black octopus to take you. Lol). It is crossed by the long Carpathian Mountains (Munţii Carpaţi) and our most popular river delta is the Danube (Delta Dunării). Our capital city is called Bucharest. Economically, Bucharest is the most prosperous city in Romania and is one of the main industrial centres and transportation hubs of Eastern Europe. The city has big convention facilities, educational institutes, cultural venues, traditional "shopping arcades" and recreational areas. What I can say about us, the romanians (românii), is that we are very friendly, welcoming and playful and we always welcome foreigners with happiness and pleasure. We like joking and having fun sometimes so much that we start to exagerrate. Of course we have our bad points as well as for example we like to argue a lot especially between us and our economical system is not very stable due to the corruption of our political system but other than that it has many nice places to visit, traditions and things interesting to learn ^-^ That being said enjoy the other topics! |

| It so is a fish. Long Island NY, where I grew up, also resembles a fish...so I should know. I have a few online friends from Bucharest and I've wandered around there with Google Street View. It's a beautiful city! Looking forward to learning more. ^^ |

Are they really romanians or they just stay there? ^^ I am glad you like our capital XD I live pretty far from it but I've got the chance to actually live there for like a month. Really enjoyed it @sportsnutds: Ha ha It's fine but if I could I would go back in time and prove them I am right Joking (not) |

| I can't not see the fish now, haha. I've rotated it a bunch of times, but I don't really see the bouquet. Fish are cooler anyways. |

| I agree with the others here. I stared at your outline of the country for a few minutes to try to see its shape. I can see the fish, but I can't see the bouquet of flowers. Which way did your teacher think it should be rotated anyway? P.S. Though I remember when I was young and I first noticed the Black Sea on a map. I didn't think of an octopus, but I do remember wondering if it really was black (the water's color, that is) .

| When we were in the class and I answered she actually rotated it this way: And like... the "tail of the fish" XD should be the place from where you hold the flowers and the rest should be like the shape of flowers. Not sure. As I said I didn't understand well and I always saw a fish in it but I know this is what she mentioned about it. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]: Ha ha! I was wondering the same but not about the Black Sea but the Red one (close to Egypt). Can't say it's black though unless you get near it when there are algaes around XD If you look from far it does look green-blackish. =)) |

| I'm so excited to read more about this country! A few years ago, I went to a basketball camp at a university, and the coach was a 7 feet, 3 inches tall man from Romania. His accent was really interesting Are all men in Romania that tall? xD |

Ha ha! No we are not. There are lots of tall people out here but there are also little ones xD For example I've got 1,58m which means 5 feet and 2.2 inches I think. I can't say an average of height though... Maybe for males 1.74, 5' 8.5" and for females 1.61, 5' 3.5". |
