Well, I had impression about Romania and Romanians as my friends told me about those, i mean friends who visited Romania
Briefly, beautiful country, very kind and friendly people...and i thought it is post communist country as ours but that our country is a bit further in way of economy.
frankly, there were also voices, who were telling me not very nice things about Romania and that all Romanians are gypsies and blabla, but i didn't care about that, cause those were all people who had never been to Romania
