Wow what a welcome to the new Europeans you guys offer. I have to agree with a previous poster, how good are the rest of our language skills in a foreign language guys? If you are a Brit / Yank, the answer ( probably) is somewhere between nil and piss poor, so , in the interests of unity politeness and realism perhaps you could all give some leeway to our non Queens English posters ? I visited Romania last summer and my partner reckoned it had actually gone downhill since her last visit 4 years ago, and seemed to have barely advanced since she left 11 years ago, and that, from a Romanian. We also visited Hungary, and that seemed to have undergone a fairly dramatic transformation since I last visited ten years ago. Assuming therefore that the dreaded corruption problems can be solved, Romania might be a nice place to live in 10 years time, but for the moment . . . . . hmn, I don't think just yet.
