My friends musicians were always shocked about the minimum salary thru which a romanian needs to live in Romania @holm
I know the struggle of the people in Romania ... that's maybe they became too creative sometimes and outside of the country they are working like crazy trying to achieve their goals ... despite the contrary marketing that was always labeled on romanian people, being considered all kind of other race ... of course, this being a product of exposure and marketing made-up, expecialy for a nation that always tried to compete very fast outside their country to achieve higher-hierarchy wherever they went to work.
Maybe you've noticed the kindness of people, expecialy in country-side
Romania, like Africa, it's a land to have the eyes on it for the Future of this World
Humble thoughts
Regards and enjoy your staying in Romania
