    Yeah I see this type often in my gym, Romanians are nice people, I actually like them, there is also other types which I can recognise like dinarid/ norid types as well, I was just being humorous as well lol

    lately i had a little affair with a Romanian woman, who grew up in Germany (so she speaks with German accent) and looked kind of Russian, i wasnt able to guess that.

    Just drop your wallet in front of a group of people and wait to see who reaches it first.

    Like Bulgarians but more delicate and Med, occassionaly with Turan touch. Some others just look Slavic so those you won't be able to recognize.

    Romanians for the most part are descendants of Romanized Dacians, ancient people of today's Romania. They're much closer genetically to Italians than to Poles.

    Romanian cuisine is a mixture of East Med (Turkish/Lebanese) with some Slavic and Germanic cuisine.

    Traditional Romanian cuisine has very little Italian influence, although in the past 20 years, Italian cuisine is growing in popularity in Romania, mainly because Romanians bring cooking practices from Italy, but also Italian entrepreneurs are moving to Romania in significant numbers in certain Romanian cities.
