I knew that you would be fascinated by these buildings. You always surround yourself with so much beauty - online patterns do say a lot about our hearts. :) Oh Sue, you have a warm heart!

OK, we except the ones who actually want to emigrate. Yes, I know, there will be more than Canadians who think we are close to Bangladesh. But come to Germany to learn that even here, in Europe, people think that Romania is a part of Russia and that we are all Russians. This is a happy scenario. I exclude those who think Bucharest is Budapest and those who think we are an uneducated 3rd world nation.

Today the oil production is sensibly reduced in comparison to what it used to be. Romania is a small country, so you can imagine that the natural resources exhaust pretty fast. Yet still... these little details, about Romania being the first country officially attested as an oil producer in the world is one of the reasons to be proud... Sadly not many Romanians know... So don't blame yourself for not knowing what my own people failed to learn. Oh, Deborah… this is a “once upon a time” type of information.

The old architecture is amazing. I come from Hull in England where there are very old buildings and some blocks of flats very much like those you picture here I love reading this sort of historical information and it is interesting to read about Romania during the communist regime as so little information was available during that period.
