Romania, my native country is where I have lived so far. My country was one of the least visited countries in Europe, 20 years ago. It was almost isolated from the rest of the world by a tough communist regime before1989. It is now a country, a land that has many treasures that are waiting to be discovered.
Romania is one of the largest countries in Europe with a population of almost 22 million inhabitants. Hungarians, Germans, Serbians, Turks and other nations also lived in the country and left some influences. The language is Romanian, and it is derived from Latin.
Transylvania, a vast province of Romania with its lovely medieval towns and fortresses at the foothill of the Carpathians is the host of the legend of Dracula, a "vampire" that was cruel with people and liked to drink people's blood! He lived in Bran Castle which can be visited anytime.
The capital of Romania is Bucharest, which has tree-lined boulevards and beautiful parks. It got the nickname "The little Paris".
Wherever you go in Romania there is another thing you will enjoy : tasty meals, large food portions, excellent wines and other local drinks.
But Romania is much more than this, just think of the Black Sea coast, the wild and picturesque Carpathians Mountains where you can go skiing or hiking, the cultural, historical and architectural tours of the country.
Romania is probably also the last place in Europe where you can still see unspoiled countryside, with the rural clothes and traditional rural civilization still alive in Maramures or Bucovina, or other places. There are colorful villages where time seems to have stood still.
Romania is a part of European Union. It joined in January 2007, and this integration influences the country in its political, cultural and social evolution and helps it come to a higher standard and become a more modern country.
Hope you will visit the country some day, the beauties of it and all the other wonders of nature that this country has to offer.

Who we are?
By Natalia Dobrovolschi
We are some people belonging to the world’s puzzle. This piece is called Romania, you may have heard about this name by reading Dracula’s story.
Dracula was a vampire who lived in Transylvania, in the center of Romania. Long ago, there lived a very cruel ruler, Vlad Tepes, who punished the criminals by impaling them. For this he was called Vlad Dracul and this is how the story of Dracula appeared. Dracula’s name is connected with Bran Castle which is situated in the Carpathians.
But there are other places where to go in Romania besides Transylvania, for example Moldavia, the North-Eastern part of Romania. Moldavia is a place full of history and tradition. People here are very hospitable and cheerful. “Martisorul”, the spring symbol, is a traditional holiday. It’s celebrated on March the first by giving little presents to women. When Stefan cel Mare (Stefan the Great), the founder of Moldavia lived, he built a lot of monasteries, which you should visit if you come here.
The North of Romania is called Maramures. Here you will find just welfare, because people always laugh, sing and dance. They are very talented in wood carving, and you will see that every single house has the front gate made of wood and that it is sculptured in a very unique way. In Maramures you will also find an unusual place “Cimitirul Vesel” - the Merry Cemetery. This is a graveyard where all the grave stones are painted in happy colors and instead of sad things jokes are written on the crosses.
We have borrowed some traditions from other countries, like Valentine’s Day, Halloween, painting the eggs at Easter, but we are still unique in our traditions. If you came here you will be enriched with pleasant impressions. 
Who we are
“All the world is a stage!”
Who are we? We are just some actors on a stage called Romania. On this stage there are no good or bad actors and no leading roles either. Romania is a star which hasn’t found its true brightness yet.
This is a country which has plenty to offer, the only problem is that we don’t know where to seek, especially in a world where the media promotes violence.
Although Romania has a bloody history, and has always been at war with the Turkish people, we managed to stop them from advancing to Europe.
Romania has an area of 238,391 km² and it’s situated in the South-East of Europe. Its capital is Bucharest, a city which lies in the South-East of the country, far away from our town which is close to the Hungarian border in the West.
The legends and myths of our country have attracted lots of tourists. The most popular of them is, of course, the legend of the vampire count Dracula. Some of the most important tourist attractions in our country are: the Black Sea coast, the monasteries from Moldavia, the wooden churches in Maramures, the famous medieval city-Sighisoara-which hosts a medieval festival each year. For 3 days Sighisoara turns in a fairytale land with medieval music and costumes. There are many other fortresses and castles and in the future we will be able to add Dracula Park to the list.
The Romanian people keep their traditions as an important legacy from their ancestors. Some of the holydays we celebrate are: “Martisor” celebrated on 1st of March, ”Dragobete”, it’s our own Valentine’s day, celebrated on 24th of February, Easter and our all time favorite is Christmas. We have many traditions related to this holyday. Every Christian family decorates a Christmas tree and goes to Church. In the evening on Christmas Eve, the children go from door to door and sing carols and the host gives them in return fruit, candy or money. The first to wake up on Christmas morning are the children who rush up to the Christmas tree to see what gift Santa Clause had left for them.
Romania can be proud of her poets, actors, singers and sports champions such as the world-famous gymnast Nadia Comaneci or Ilie Nastase, the famous tennis player.
It is true that life is hard here, that is one of the reasons Romanians go abroad to work, and it is also true that many of us are just careless when it comes to the environment, our economy is not that much…but if you come here and visit Romania you will certainly fall in love with this beautiful country.
I really love my country, I like the city I live in and I will always be proud that I am Romanian.
Cristina Ciobota
WHO WE ARE?
I’ve been living in Romania for sixteen years and I can assure you that the Romanians are not “vampires”. Many people think of vampires when they hear about Romania because of the Dracula legend.
First of all, the name of Romania, (Rumania, România) comes from Român (Romanian) which derives from the word Romanus (Roman) from Latin. This is mentioned as early as the 16th century by many authors, including Italian Humanists travelling in Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia. In antiquity, Romania was known as Dacia, inhabited by Dacians and Thracians. The Romans transformed Dacia into a Roman province, colonizing it, a process known as „Romanization”. Nevertheless in the 3rd century the Roman Empire was forced to abandon Dacia because of the invasion of the migratory populations such as the Goths, later the Huns, so the language was influenced by many cultures.
From the geographical point of view Romania is a small country located in South-East central Europe; its landscape is a harmonious combination of mountains, hills and plains. Because of this diversity and because of its rich historical resources tourism is very complex. Romanian destinations such as the seaside resorts of Mangalia, Saturn, Venus, Neptun, Olimp, Constanta and Mamaia are among the most popular attractions during summer.
During winter the skiing resorts along the Prahova Valley and Poiana Brasov are open for visitors. Those interested in its past will find in Romania well-known castles and churches.
Romania is full of customs and traditions. Some are funny and some are strange. But they’re all interesting. There’s a long menu of traditional Romanian food. There are songs, sayings and superstitions. They are all part of the Romanian lifestyle. Some of the celebrations and holidays in Romania are:
New Year’s Day is celebrated on January 1st. Now, we can take part in “Plugusorul” (The Little Plough), a traditional wish on the New Year in the Romanian folklore, linked to ancient farming practices. Couplets are also accompanied by music. “Jocul de-a Capra” (The Goat Show) is a traditional game, which involves a traditional folk costume on the New Year’s Eve. A character wearing a goat mask (or a stag one) dances performing comical moves, while the others keep the rhythm, sing and recite satirical couplets.
March 1st is a very important day for Romanians, because on this day we celebrate “Martisorul”, a tradition that involves buying some small gifts, made by all kinds of materials, from ordinary paper to wax or glass. Tradition says that, if you want to have luck during the whole year; you should buy these gifts accompanied by a cord made of silk. This knitting is made manually and it contains two different cords, a red one and a white one.
May 1st is an important day in Romania. We celebrate Labor Day. On this day, people don’t go to work, but they go out for a picnic.
In conclusion although Romania is a small country it has its positive and negative parts, from my point of view it is a beautiful country and I’m proud to be a Romanian.

Who We Are
Romania is a country in Eastern Europe.In the west it borders Hungary and in the south- west Serbia. Bulgaria lies in the south, the Black Sea and the Republic of Moldavia in the east, the Ukraine lies in the north of Romania.
The Romanian people are not so proud of their country because of the political system and the politicians who don’t care about Romania’s future.In our country there are different kinds of people.Most of the Romanians are very sociable, hospitable and funny.
If you ever ask yourself: “Why should I go to Romania?” the anwser is that Romania offers a rich tapestry of tourist attractions.You can see medieval towns in Transylvania, the world most famous painted monasteries in Bucovina, traditional villages in Maramures, the romantic Danube Delta, fairy-tale castles like Bran, Peles and Sighisoara, the majestic Carpathian Mountains and the picturesque Black Sea.
If you are interested in our culture you should know some world known writers like our national poet Mihai Eminescu, Ion Luca Caragiale, known as a dramatist and Ion Creanga remembered for his “Memories of Childhood”.Our greatest composers are George Enescu and Ciprian Porumbescu.
From another point of view,Romania is an ex-communist country which somehow badly affected the way of life and the behaviour of the people.Some of us are uncivilised and very poor.Sometimes you can see beggars in the streets,abandoned children in orphanages and old people who seem to be forgotten by the local authorities.
All in all, like any other country, Romania has its good and bad parts.With all the poverty and hard life, it is still a beautiful country and I consider myself lucky to be one of its citizens.

Who we are
When most people hear the word "Romania" they tend to think about the famous story of Count Dracula, or about the first gymnast to be awarded a perfect score of 10 in an Olympic gymnastic event - Nadia Comaneci. However they don`t really know anything else about the country that gave birth to these legends. This essay will outline the other aspects that make Romania a country worth knowing about, like the national identity, cultural, social and historical aspects, and, of course, the many beautiful and breath-taking customs and traditions.
There are many other fascinating things about our country that are worth being mentioned.
First of all, the Romanian people. They are hard workers, starting work at a rather early age in order to help at home or because they simply have no other choice. They are caring, good hosts and willing to help anyone in need, but don`t think that they are naive. The Romanian people are very intelligent and clever, being able to find different and various uses for common objects. They can always figure their way out of a problem.
Secondly, the beautiful traditions and old customs, through which the Romanians honour the memory of their ancestors by making them survive the test of time , take the lucky participants into another dimension, where the smell of the traditional food "sarmalute", the joy emanated from the energising Romanian round dance (hora), and the traditional popular costumes make them forget all the bad things and worries and just relax and take it all in. Of course we have some new, borrowed customs like Halloween parties or St. Valentine`s Day when the teenagers and mostly young people go to fancy dress parties and have fun, or just stay home with their loved ones and enjoy the time spent together.
Another captivating thing about Romania is its landscape. From the high mountain peaks of the Carpathians which make their way across the country, to the deep blue of the Black Sea and to the youngest land in the world - the Danube Delta. Everyone is curious where legends, like that of Count Dracula, came from or want to find out about the authentic history of Romania. These are testimonies of its fascinating history. This kind of testimonies can also be found inside the wooden churches of Transylvania or in the artistic thesaurus of the Bucovina Monasteries. In some parts of the country the traditional villages, where time stopped a long time ago, where the horse carriage is the main vehicle and the food still comes from the back yard can still be admired.
Historical, social and cultural aspects are also an important part of Romania.
Romania brought an original touch in the universal history and culture, attesting to a tormented but not less glorious past. The history of the Romanians is, part of the European history, perhaps one of the most eventful. A dark period in Romanian history is the World War II, in 1940, when one third of the country's area and population was amputated. In 1945, after 4 years of war, the nearly one-century long democratic traditions are cut short by Soviet troops and the communist regime. The devastating dictatorial rule, that of Nicolae Ceausescu, is brought to an end by the people’s revolt of December 1989. The new Constitution of 21 November 1991 and the parliamentary and presidential elections of May 1990 and September 1992 are steps taken towards the restoration of democracy.
Nevertheless Romanian culture has no lack of remarkable writers like Costache Negruzzi - a model still not matched in historical short story writing, Eugen Ionesco - the creator of the absurd theatre, Ion Slavici - the author of the first Romanian novel (Mara). And most of all, the three great classics, the great 19th century writers: Mihai Eminescu, Ion Luca Caragiale and Ion Creanga.
Furthermore, fine arts are also present in Romanian past and present. Even from the early '40s of the 19th century, there appeared the first Romanian artists educated in the West like Theodor Aman, Gheorghe Tattarescu and Nicolae Grigorescu. The latter was the first beneficiary of a Parisian education, and brought plein-air painting into Romanian arts.
To sum up, Romania is a country with a rich past, outstanding landscapes and amazing people.
I strongly feel that it is a country and culture worth knowing about.
Alexandra Predescu
Who we are
I wish I could sit at my desk and write nice words about my own country , using as tools just paper , tobacco , food instead of faked dreams , but the result would only be similar to dropping a rose petal into the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.
After all , you know what they say : ”The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds and the pessimist fears that this is true” .
Romania is a country which never made a difference to the other nations of the world , the fact that it never had an independent history . The pages that have been written over the years with a history that we like to call “ours” are nothing else but a clear reflection of the theory that , whatever makes the past , the distant times or the future predominate over the present , advances us in the dignity of thinking beings.
Romania preserved a significant number of traditional customs and celebrations manifest within the strong community of the village. Ceremonies dedicated to the significant moments of one's life (birth, wedding, death) or to the big religious celebrations, follow the same archaic mythical rituals they did a thousand years ago.
During winter solstice, when the sun is weak and frost and dryness take over, Romanian peasants conceived ceremonies to help the Sun and Nature to overcome this "temporary crisis." For 12 days between Christmas and St. John on January 7th, all Romanian villages have specific celebrations, starting with children's caroling on Christmas Eve: “Mos Ajun” or “Buna Dimineata”.
The New Year is another period of festivities. Augural time, the night of December 31st puts forth dances with masks, divination, foretelling, and magic. Besides ritual songs such as Plugusor. in Moldavia, the choreography, costumes and ritual dances during the caroling festivities represent a genuine work of art.
Romanians traditionally practiced two ritual ceremonies dedicated to good crops and land fertility: Calusul, a dance performed by a special group of men and Sanzienile and Dragaica, the Romanian versions of Midsummer's Day, with ritual dancing and singing by a group of young girls.
And that leads us to a one-way road : Romania is a country full of genius minds , but with no talent . And the Romanians are just some people winking at a girl in the dark - they know what they’re doing , but no one else does .
