It is indeed an amazing place and amazing people. I was priviliged to live there for nearly 7 years. The education was of high quality too. However I Was unfortunate enough to face a lot of negative comments from 1 or 2 'picky' consultants here in the UK about training in Romania and makes me wonder, how would they know, they never been there? Just because its a former communist country, is not a reason to discount it. I hope more blogs and articles come to the foray about this part of the world.

I might have not great english ability but unless I try to express clear about a topic. Romania It is great to visit and the rural area offer you a great oportunity to find some "clean nature". About the first topic......With all my respect Doctor, If you lived in Iasi , If you visited Bucharest and Cluj you didn t saw the last models of BMW, the 3-4 stages houses, the ladies which look like on a cover magasine? Might be possible to find many poor people, but you should not generalize. Michi, what you mean? I might have not great english ability but unless I try to express clear about a topic.

I am wondering what could be in a Western person’s mind when faced with the genuine Romanian ‘rurality’, which is unique, is incredible pure and – unfortunately – at the edge of the gap call ‘urbanicity’. The romantic picture you describe so well, is now under the Damocles’ sword of contemporary modern life. Certainly, I accept all advantages and benefits of civilisation, but preserving the purity of patriarchal life of the picturesque villages of Northern Romania (of Moldova / Bucovina, and Transylvania as well) is a must. Your role in this endeavour could be incredible important. Thank you again, and please come again.

Romania is a beautiful country and I personally recommend to visit Brasov & sinaia in Transilvania and constansa which is near the black sea for someone who is planning for a great holiday.
