Bucharest is the capital of Romania. ROMANIA

There is only one body of water that borders Romania,it is the Black Sea.

Because in the 19th century we were all under the influence of France. Small countries like the Romanian states and then the Romanian Kingdom wanted - on one hand - to prove they could be cultivated and modern (that's why everybody who was everybody HAD to learn French) and - on the other hand - before the development of an adequate higher education system, all students had to attend either a French, or an Austrian or German university. ANother reason was political: France was our main ally in our quest for independence and union, so the relationship with Paris was particularly important.

Valeriu Lazar is the Minister of Economy for Moldova.

Ever since the early 1820s nationalism had been a threat to the Austrian Empire's very existence - first German nationalism, then Italian nationalism, Hungarian, Czech, Polish, Croat, Serbian, Romanian nationalism. In the years before WW1 Austria-Hungary was particularly concerned about Slav nationalism, which it saw as a vehicle for Russian influence and interference. In 1878 during a key stage in the break-up of the Ottoman Empire (in Europe) Bosnia-Herzegovina had been made an Austrian protectorate. In 1908 it looked briefly as if Turkey might become democratic and respectable and demand the area back. In an attempt to forestall this, Austria annexed the area outright. This infuriated Serb nationalists as they regarded Bosnia-Herzegovina as Serbian, though their claims then, as now, were weak.

The winters are usually cold (very cold in the Carpathian Mountains where the average year-round temperature is only 2 degrees celsius) and a lot of snow falls during the winter months however the summers are warm to hot.Romania has a continental climate. Summers are generally very warm to hot, with average maxima in Bucharest being around 29 °C (84.2 °F), with temperatures over 35 °C

Romania has always had an educational system based mostly on theoretical knowledge. Romania still ranks high in international competitions in math, physics, computer science etc. at high school level.

There are reports, however, from countries like France, Germany etc which seem to indicate that Romanian graduates, while very well prepared theoretically in their field, especially doctors, lack some technological and practical skills. Currently, the government is trying to overcome this aspect by a long needed educational reform. However, because of a shaky economy and a very unstable political climate, any kind of reform is something always left for the next generation to deal with.

There is another aspect of Romanian education: general knowledge. The actual term used in Romania is "general culture," which basically means "to know a lot about as many things as possible," as opposed to the supper specialization that the western systems seem to focus on. It is not uncommon to see in Romania a mathematician or an engineer who writes poetry or a philosopher who tries to solve Fermat's last theorem. This aspect of Romanian education, however, seems to slowly fade into the mercantilism of our times where money, as much as one can manage to get, becomes more important than pretty much anything else.

In sum, Romanians are good theoreticians, especially in engineering, math, physics, chemistry, computer sciences -- the latter being a point of pride; every Romanian will tell you that the second language at Microsoft is Romanian --, and in general in exact sciences.

During the WW1 Romania was an allied country.

The Carpathian Mountains, also called the Transylvanian Alps, are about 200 miles north west of Bucharest.
