Once you visit Romania, you will fall in love with it, for sure, for many important reasons: kind people, the scenic landscapes in the countryside, the silence in the mountains, the stillness of the glacial lakes, the beautiful sea coast, the amazing Danube Delta, the enticing smell of fresh cheese pies baked for you by some old granny who reminds you of your grandparents, a cup of good red wine from an old cellar in Moldavia, the old traditions like knitting, weaving, sheephearding, pottery, kept alive in many places, the old historical buildings in Bucharest and the House of the Parliament (the second largest building in the world, after the Pentagon), old medieval cities and castles.
