So,you've been in Romania at 18 yrs old and you saw all of that.It must 've been hard.Came as a tourist?
About the pollution,well,you should check the pollution quotas allowed by the EU,Romania in not so polluted as you think.And you should go to the mountains,not check it on the net
Since 2003 there have been some changes,one can say.
By any chance,you were one of those teenagers dressed in white shirts,black tie and pants,seen for some time in romania,doing some job for one particular church..I don't know the details,but if this is the case ,I think you're views are a bit influenced.
Have you been also to Albania or Moldavia? Cause I've been,and I doubt you're saying.
Tension with the neighbour hungary,are you talking about the gold ,or uranium mine...it was controlled by the Canadians,if i'm not wrong.It is closed ,now.I don't know much about that,though.
Street kids? Yes,if you go in Ferentary,the gypsy area.But you may see the same in Paris,if you go in the northern area,Auberville,or something.Or in other big EU cities.
Dogs? Well,we killed most of them,but some were saved by foreign animal rights asociations,like B Bardot's.And after that they were released back on the streets by the same agencies.
It doesn't exist the perfect place,here or wherever.So,try to see the nice things,and improve the rest,and you'll have a full life.
tarjet: last time I've checked with the CSA the language was a must.The same applies for most german companies ,also.Also,I've been told the same by a friend of mine from LOT.So,where you say english will do?
