General Aspects about Romania
Many of you might think that Romania is located in the eastern part of Europe, in fact, when asked where have you been, most of you will say that you have been in Eastern Europe. Well, this is wrong. Romania is located pretty much in the center of Europe, almost the half distance from the western and eastern fringes of Europe (2600km roughly). If Romania is an eastern European country then what can we say about Azerbaijan, Georgia or about the people who live in the western part of the Ural Mountains?
Martisor – March Charm
The “martisor” is, in popular tradition, a symbol of weeks, months and years gathered and twisted into a string with two colors, the colors representing the winter and the summer. It represents a present given to the women on the first of March. The richer families had “martisoare” with strings made of silver and gold. Children would wear it tied to their hand, on their chests or around their necks.
Statues of Bucharest
Cismigiu Garden is one of the most beautiful parks, not just from Bucharest, but from whole Europe. It boasts beside its wonderful green alleys, amazing flowers or birds, some interesting statues.
Therme Bucharest
Beginning January 14th, a tropical paradise, known as Therme Bucharest, will be open to the public just ten minutes away from the city. Here you’ll be able to enjoy life no matter how young or old you are since there are many recreational areas for everyone. The center is divided into three major sectors, each of them with a specific theme.
UNESCO Sites in Romania
Romania is a very rich country when it comes to UNESCO sites. From natural reserves to many sites with unique architecture, everything seems frozen in time and undisturbed by the rapid arrival of modernity. They are all greatly appreciated because they still look the same as they have for centuries.
The Romanian Blouse
Today, I can see all over Romania women, young girls, even tourists walking around wearing “ie” – and I realized that wearing this blouse has become a national trend, not just something hip in Bucharest.
