Very rich history. My impression of the present is that our government throttles the economy. For example the IT sector is gigantic, we make a lot of money that the gov spends in the most ridiculous ways. I commute with my bike and we have the highest rate of mortal accidents here because we have a culture of the car. If you are interested in visiting, I would say Sibiu is the nicest city in my experience.

Sounds very modern.

This sounds exactly like Texas lol. In the US I might even say Romania is the country we know the least about, it is almost never mentioned in anything, good or bad.

I will remember Sibiu, thanks :)

Just recently I was in an accident, crashed right through a car door because I didn't expect the driver to open it without looking. Didn't broke anything thankfully but everyday you get to deal with these dudes who almost kick you out of the street at high speed expecting you to get out of their way. Our vice-mayor even says that we shouldn't be considered vehicles. If you are interested in these experiences search BucharestBikeTraffic on YouTube . He has a series named "Fapte in trafic" where he films the experience on bike, filled with both idiot drivers and awesome ones.
