    Over ages the borders of Rumania have been changing and other people came to this area, like the Saxes from Germany and Roma al the way from India. Nowadays there live about 23 million people, about 7% of them being of Hungarian destiny. 
      The language is Rumanian, witch was brought by the Romans some 2000 years ago and has remained since. The language resembles the Italian language. Religion is important to the people, the largest part being Orthodox and the rest mostly Roman catholic. 
      Wounds from the time of communistic repression have not healed yet. People do not trust strangers at first, even not fellow Rumanians. But after a while they will show their friendly mind and above all their warm hospitality.  
      The economy is  slowly recovering from unemployment after the collapse of the communistic system. The way of living can be compared with life in the west around 1920, however with computers and celphone! Customer care is  not common yet, but therefore maybe prices are still low.
