Experience the People of Romania

“They speak a language like Italian but the majority of their words are Slavonic. 
They are superstitios but religious at the same time. 
They are astutely intelligent, but refuse to be intellectual. 
They submit to invasion but preserve their identity. 
They support great wealth and extreme poverty.
As a collective personality, the Romanians are Oriental in their souls although Latin on the surface.
Their patience is almost unending but they are quick to explode in argument; they are peace-loving yet would disintegrate without controversy.
They are passive but strong in their resistance; spontaneously adaptable, still difficult to influence.“
