One of the most desired locations that vacationers around the world want to spend their holidays in Romania. Situated on the southeastern side of Europe, Romania is bordered by Hungary, the Black Sea, Ukraine, Serbia, Bulgaria, and the Republic of Moldova.
Romania is a beautiful amalgamation of cultural diversity and natural beauty. No wonder it is sometimes referred to as the hidden gem of Europe. If you are looking for a natural example of enchantment, Romania is an embodiment of the word: from the hospitality of the locals to its maroon beaches, living in Romania is akin to living in an enchanted land.
Romania’s beauty lies in several natural and artificial edifices; the towering arc of the Carpathian Mountains located in the North West and the mouth of the Danube in East are exciting places that tourist flock all year round. The rolling vineyards and sunny hills of Moldavia to the fertile plains found in Walachia welcome visitors all year round. Even the serene Black Sea is not left out as it holds foreigners spellbound.
Living in Romania is like living in the medieval times, especially if you decide to stay in Bucharest, the capital city of Romania. Bucharest is the home to the world’s most massive administrative building known as the Palace of the Parliament. It is also home to the world’s most beautiful bookshop in the world.
So if you are a bookworm or you love studying history or literature, you can enjoy access to the extensive collection of over 10,000 books as well as more than 5,000 albums in Cărturești Carusel.
Living in Romania is not all that different from living anywhere else on earth. Romanians are also aware of the world and its goings-on in almost every sphere of life. They recognize that people – both foreigners and residents alike – have differences in behaviors and opinions as a result of individual’s understanding of cultures.
To enjoy your life when living in Romania, your lifestyle needs to be modest. The easiest way to attract undue attention to yourself is to start flaunting your wealth, be rude or dress inappropriately in public. You should strive not to show yourself above others or be boastful.
Romania has a traditional dress which varies from one town to another as well as from one region to another. But despite the differences, they all bear numerous similarities across the country. Most men in Romania wear a white shirt, white pants, a pair of black boots, and a vest which houses lots of embroidery in multiple colors.
Nowadays, though, Romanians are wearing more of western-style clothing, so let your dress sense be along those lines as well.
An essential cultural aspect in Romania is religion, and a majority of the locals are Christian orthodox.
Of course, there are other religions as well such as Roman Catholic. Despite the prevalence of Christianity, Romanians are surprisingly very superstitious and believe strongly in invisible forces of good and evil as well as in magic.
Social life in Romania is also upbeat, thanks to the fact that the country is home to one of the largest producers and consumers of wines. With the average Romanian consuming up to about 14.4 liters of pure alcoholic beverages annually, the country enjoys its liquor and expects foreigners to enjoy it, too.
Although Romania is still rich in culture and diversity, the western way of life is fast catching up. Therefore, enjoy your lifestyle in Romania.
