What did you think about Romania and Romanians before your first contacts with this country or its inhabitants?
Romania – poor country, poorest of the European Soviet bloc, Ceasescu etc., lots of gypsies live there

Did this image change after getting to know a Romanian or after visiting the country? How?
as usual, you get to see more dimensions, excessive poverty surely exist, and so do gypsies but when I think of Romania I see a huge pool of very talented and skilled, multilingual young people (women in particular), and for being such a relatively large country, I think Romania has a big future in Eastern Europe.
