How is Romania seen from outside?

Answer 1

I worked as a Nurse in Romania in the early 1990's. A worked in a town called Galait. I have never met such hospitable people in my life....for people who had so little, they gave a lot.

The Romanian people that I met were friendly, interesting, intelligent and most of all happy. In a society that at the time had so little and had gone through so much, it made me very humble.

I feel that you are now the forgotten. There was a blast of help and aid, and then the do gooders moved on to the next cause. God Bless you all and good luck in the future.

Answer 2

I have been living and working in Budpaest, Hungary for more than a year now, and I am sorry, but Romanians are seen as a big drain on the State. They take up housing and are seen as being thieves and trouble makers, scrounging off others rather than making a good, honest living for themselves. I am not Hungarian myself, just an outside observer, working with Hungarian nationals

Answer 3

Sadly here in the UK they are seen as the most negative form of images that Gypsy's have ie thieves etc - but not all of us think that way, some of us see Romanian as lovely poeple in general xx

Until a relative went their on holiday recently i thought it was almost like a 3rd world country, really poor with low employment and education. I now realise i got it a bit wrong! But that was what i thought.

Answer 5

Answer 6

i dont think most americans know too much about romania. (you didn't specify how the country looks to whom, so here's my american P.O.V.) i see it as a small country who i think had some good gymnasts in some olympics. that's really all i know about it. nothing bad, nothing good, just a european country.
