[funkyrobot]

If things get terminal between me and my wife, I'm off to Romania.

Just been watching an Armin Van Buuren concert there. The women look great!

I've lived with Romanians - AMA. However in short, their culture is far too different from those accustomed to western first world countries - they're some of the coldest people I've ever met.

Only this morning got back from a few days in Cluj.

Lovely place.

They really do look amazing. Even the ground staff at the airport who operated the air bridge were beautiful.

Shame the rest of the main city looked very dilapidated!

I found the complete opposite with my Romanian colleagues at a previous company. Maybe they're a diverse bunch of people not easily pigeon-holed into a single personality type

I employ a Romanian agency and visit them every 3 months. Lovely people. Very friendly and open. I love the place.

I did the old 'laugh out loud' at that one. Thanks.

Working with them's different to living with them. That has to be made clear.

Well I dated one for some time, she was very sweet and caring. Though I'm sure you've lived with a big enough sample size of Romanians to make such a sweeping judgement...

Same, met a bunch at Le Mans about 10 years ago, meet up every year now. These guys are the most down to earth friendly lots I've ever met.

Nine (9) in total.

Cluj is great, but Bucharest is a rathole.

My wife is Romanian she’s ace. Hence why I wifed her.

She’s the only woman i met in Harrogate I Met that loves motorbikes more than I do! 😀

Am going out next week to Timisoara, thats well worth a visit and Cluj, but avoid Bucharest.

Their culture and hospitality are great, just be wary if invited to a palinca drinking session!, if home distilled its usually about 60% abv

Would recommend a trip to the pub attached the Timisoreana brewery and sample some of their fabulous unfiltered beer along with a big plate of Mici, a delicious grilled sausage, the perfect pub snack.
