Hi! I`m glad to be here.

I love history, it`s one of my hobbies.

Despite the distance between Portugal and Romenia, our languages are sisters, both came from Latin.

Hi Veronica-thank you for inviting me to be a member of your new group! I feel honored to be a member and I would love to learn about your home country! I know a bit of history as European History was my undergraduate major along with psychology-I had 36 hours of Russian history, French, history, Austrian history, English history-I loved it all! So I would love to hear about the history of your country. I studied history from the beginning of time (anthropology classes) to WWII and the present. I am a willing student! And I love discussions. I will check in as often as I can...please be patient w/me as I am involved in a lot of volunteer projects in "real" life and my time on computer is somewhat limited these day...I'm so glad you started this group. I know this will be a success! peace, love and hugs, jennieb  [ send green star]  [ accepted]

and i have to tell you i am so happy to find you all , here!!!!!!!!it's such a good feeling to have you , my good friends, in my new createrd group!

yesterday i was thinking..... what a nice country i live in.... so many beauties, everywhere, so unknown..... such nice places, such interesting geography, mentalities, because there are living here all together in good friendship, romanians, hungarians, germans, jewish, serbians, bulgarians[these  are minorities, of course, the last ones], so, why not to tell you about, about i know, lol.....

sorry for i came only now, but in the last time my network fails all the time, hope, it will not happen again today....

i have also, to tell you, perhaps,most of you know, from monday till friday i'm not in the city , but on the countryside, so i'll be able, only to create new topics, lol, from my cell phone, so, please excuse me for this inconvenient, but, in the weekends, hopefull, we'll be together.... when you'll have time and mood for it!

so, please be free to put all questions you wish, i'll try to answer to all, perhaps not always  online, but a little later...

also, you have to excuse me if i do so many mistakes, grammar mistakes, but as the english is not my native language, you'll be so kind to fogive me!!!????? thank you

Hi Veronica September 30, 2007 6:13 AM

I did visit your country once a long time ago. I was in Bulgaria on holiday with my parents and we went on a day trip over the border and I can tell you I was GOBSMACKED at the beauty. It was like stepping back in time. The countryside was so unspoiled, everything was rustic and old. Hardly ANY cars!! People were harvesting by hand! I also saw 'Dracula's' castle, nestled on a mountainside amongst a forest. It was absolutely amazing. I hope it hasn't changed much from then. I'd love to visit again one day.
Another thing I noticed (although I was young) was that the men were sooooo handsome!!!

Hola everyone

I have learnt about the real Vlad Dracula, and what I learnt was that although he used some brutal methods (and I don't support brutal methods), he was a freedom fighter, a major leader in the campaign to free Romania from the rule of the Turkish empire. I admire him for that.

I like the Romanian countryside, architecture, accent and language, and the name of the country sounds nice too - "Romania". I think I have heard some of the music too, and I like it.

I like Nadia, the young gymnast who made a perfect 10.... (I saw a film about her.)

I don't like Romania's siding with the nazis in WW2, adopting fascist ways, and persecuting minorities. I find it quite disgusting.

Fortunately we can learn from history, use the positive things, and avoid repeating the harmful things, eh, my friends?

hi, everyone! October 01, 2007 10:03 AM

Thank you, dear Veronica, for the invite!  This is a wonderful idea, for us to share everything that is beautiful about our country. There are many things that we are not proud of, but, as a whole, Romania is as beautyful as her people, it is somehow wild, untammed... Sometimes, I wish it stays this way...

As about Dacula... I love him! I don't believe that bloody vampire crap, it can't be true... I respect Vlad Tepes - this was his name. I guess he's the only one in our history who succeded to eradicate the thieves! Good job... (We'd kind of need someone like him nowadays...)

Enjoy Romania, everyone!

Nope October 04, 2007 4:36 AM

Sorry that wasn't the castle I saw. This one was right in a forest on the side of a mountain. I called it Dracula's castle because it just looked exactly like you would imagine it to look. All stone with lots of spikey bits and looked like it would be very hard to get to. We didn't actually go to it just saw it. Its somewhere near the border of Bulgaria and near the Black Sea.  [ send green star]  [ accepted]
 
 October 04, 2007 5:25 AM

Acually Alf,I find it quite confusing myself.Went to several sites for info,and discovered one is showing a different castle to be Dracula's one from the other.So I might have done something wrong there.If so,sorry about that.I guess we'll have to wait for Veronica to find out.Hope you enjoy the pictures anyway.  [ send green star]  [ accepted]
 
hello to you all, my dear friends, welcome to my old and new friends! October 05, 2007 9:51 AM

yes, elena i absolutely, agree with you, i also admire VLAD TEPES!!!!!LOL!

IT IS VERY HARD TODAYTO SPEAK ABOUT VLAD TEPES , WHO IN PEOPLE'S MIND BECAME DRACULA, THE BLOODY VAMPIRE!STOKER CONTRIBUTEED A LOT TO CREATE THIS IMAGE OF THE CRUEL PRINCE.IT IS NOT TRUE.INDEED, HE WAS A CRUEL BUT VERY RIGHTEOUSE RULER.HE PUNISHED THOSE WHO LIED,STOLE!IN MIDDLE AGE, CRUELTY WAS COMMON.

AFTER SO MANY CENTURIES WE KNOW VERY FEW THINGS BECAUSE THERE ARE FEW TRACES. TO ASSOCIATE VLAD TEPES WITH THE MONSTROUS VAMPIRE IT'S HYSTORICAL FOLKLORE...

........ October 05, 2007 10:29 AM

WIKIPEDIA WRITES THAT THE SYMBOLE OF HIS FAMILY WAS' DRAGONS ORDER', VLAD TEPES WAS THE SON OF VLAD DRACUL, HE WAS BORN IN1431 AT SIGHISOARA. HI OFICIAL NAME WAS

VLADISLAUS BASARAB -LUXEMBURG USED TO SIGN HIS NAME' DRĂCULEA',AS THE FIRST DOCUMENT MENTIONED HIM IN1459 AND AFTER THE PORTRAIT MADE OF HIM BY ODHSENBACH STAMBUCH.

THE BRASOV'S SAXONS WERE VERY ANGRY ON HIM, BECAUSE HE LEVIED TRANSIT TAXES TO ALL WHO PASSED THROUGH  TARA ROMANEASCA [ VALACHIA] TOWARDS BUCHAREST,BULGARIA OR ISTAMBUL. THAT'S REAL THAT HE WAS A VERY HARSH PRINCE AND PUINISHED ALL WHO BETRAYED HIM,BY IMPALEING THEM,I REPEAT HE WAS VERY FAIR AND JUST.

BUT FROM BEING CRUEL, LET'S THINK WHAT THE INQUISITION MADE,TO BE A VAMPIRE.....LOL, IT'S A LONG WAY....

WE CAN ' THANK' BRAM STOKER THAT HE MADE SO VERY [IN]FAMOUS OUR VLAD TEPES!

DEAR ALF, October 05, 2007 11:03 AM

PROBABLY IS CONFUSING, EVEN  IN PEOPLE'S MIND IS CONFUSING, WHICH IS THE SO CALLED DRACULA'S CASTLE.

BY LEGEND BRAN CASTLE IS ASSOCIATED WITH DRACULA, BUT HE SLIGHTLY EVER STEPPED THROUGH THE THRESHOLD OF BRAN CASTLE!

HE SPENT MOST OF HIS LIFE ON THE BATTLEFIELD OR IN HIS CAPITAL CITY, TARGOVISTE!targ

chindia

So if there are buildings that have close connection to VLAD TEPES...THESE ARE!

THEY WERE REBUILT BY VLAD TEPES WHEN HE MOVED TO TARGOVISTE.

THE CASTLE YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN AT THE BLACK SEA IS PROBABLY 'BALCIC', BUILT BY QUEEN MARIA IN A ROMANTIC BYZANTINE STYLE. HER HEART IS BURIED THERE IN A GOLD CASSETTE.

IS IT THIS WHAT YOU SAW:

OK???? PLEASE

SO,VLAD TEPES,THE EMPALER OR DRACULA IT'S THE SAME THING. HE WAS THE SON OF  VLAD DRACUL AND HIS REAL NAME WAS VLADISLAUS BASARAB-LUXEMBURG II andUSED TO SIGN  ' DRACULEA' WHAT IT MEANS INROMANIAN LANGUAGE :{SON OF) DRACUL

THE CONFUSION IS BECAUSE OF STOKERS' NOVEL ' DRACULA' WHICH ESCRIBES A VAMPIRE, THE COUNT DRACULA,AND IT HAPPENS I THE 19-TH CENTRUY TRANSYLVANIA AND ENGLAND! THIS NOVEL WAS INSPIRED FROM LEGENDS ABOUT VLAD TEPES, ALIAS DRACULA TOLD HIM BY A HUNGARIAN PROFESSOR, ARMINIUS VANBERY,BUT VLAD TEPES TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH STOKERS DRAKULA, IT'S ONLY A FICTION...

Thankyou Veronica for creating such a beautiful place to visit. 
My heritage is Russian /Polish and I have a yearning to visit Europe in the coming years... before I become too old to climb to all the wonderful places. I love the beautiful countryside and the older castles and architecture very much.  My parents lost touch with many  relatives due to WW2...more so my mother who was sent to the German war/concentration camps. I have been trying to find some information about my family history but not much to work with..
Romania is so utterly mystical which has great appeal to me.. 
I too associated Romania with Dracula.. I have watched almost every Dracula film over many, many years.. I have spent part of today listening to the music and will research more...what beautiful castles.... so many places to see...
Many thanks again....
