[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1948866, member: 24302"] OK, let's explain some things to you. Romania's average pay is low, thus low costs. Rents are low, utilities low, groceries low. You see, in order for you to be happy you have to live where everything is expensive. Problem is when you retire everything will still be expensive, but most likely you won't have the income you have now. Romania is about half the size of Texas, and isn't nearly as developed, but the 41,000 miles of roads work for it. By the way, average salaries in Bucharest, the capital, are closer to $650 a month, lower in other cities. Speaking of which Romania has a group of 7 cities in Transylvania built centuries ago by Germans that are very beautiful. Romanians speak Romanian, a Latin based Romance language, but many also are bilingual, even trilingual. English is the most common 2nd language, about 35% of the population speak it. American movies are shown in modern multiplex theaters in English. Also every city has at least one peasant market that carries a huge amount of fresh produce at what would be considered giveaway prices here. Not bland supermarket produce, but fresh picked from the farm. Romania has Europe's fastest internet speeds. 9 of the world's top 15 cities for fastest internet are in Romania. That means I can watch American TV on USTVNOW.com with no buffering. Romania has Europe's largest wilderness area with the largest populations of brown bears and wolves left in Europe. The natural world, from the Carpathian Mountains to the Danube Delta, is very beautiful. The violent crime rate is only slightly worse than Canada, the safest country in the Western Hemisphere. As far as Putin is concerned, so what? What is the value of attacking Romania? Seriously, what is to be gained? Putin isn't Hitler or Stalin.
