You made some very interesting points, first of all you said they have phones but not all of them especially those young children, now they come to my community where in the vast majority of homes there is at least a mobile phone (smartphone), I visited the kindergarten here, believe me, some children had mobile phones for their parents to talk to them.
And two I totally agree with you that they are happier than us.

Yeah, I know. Here in my country, it´s also common that kids that don´t even go to school yet (means five years old and younger) have their own phones and tablets... If I was a kid and could choose between a phone and ocean, I would totally pick the ocean :)
I agree with you, of course I too would choose the ocean, but you see technology is pushing us from behind and effectively hypnotising us, I don't know if we can fight back in any way.
I can tell you that where technology has not yet arrived everything is like in heaven, there is still happiness, that is true happiness, and I tell you where in Romania technology has not yet arrived, I know you may not believe that there are such places.
We still have very small villages in the mountains of Romania, where they still don't even have electricity, their name in Romanian is "hamlets", I even visited one 3 years ago, I think when you visit such a village where people instead of lighting a light bulb light a candle, ufff, very emotional.
Yeah, I know what you mean and I believe there are still these communities living somewhere in rural remote areas. I don´t know if there are any also in the Banat Region that I heard about because it is said that Czech people used to go there and built some villages there long time ago but I don´t really know much about that. Maybe it´s not what you talk about. But yeah, visiting people who still live without electricity and all the technologies we use every day must be very special experience...
Wow, I'm glad to see that you have heard of certain areas in Romania, in the Banat mountains I think there are still such houses, I referred to those in the Apuseni mountains, Alba Iulia county, there and today there are still such places, I tell you from experience that visiting them will leave deep traces in your soul (in a good way).
Right. I haven´t been to Romania myself yet, I just know the Banat Region as many Czech travelers go there because of the villages founded by the Czech people in the past. I think my sister was there too a few years ago, I need to ask her :D
You are right, here in Romania we still have communities of Czechs, Swabians and Germans.
And in my commune 50 years ago there were many Germans, today many of them have died, others have returned to Germany and we still have 3-4 families who have chosen to stay here.
Cool :)
