Here it is, here it is on the map of Europe:
and it has been there in the same spot, maybe sometimes a little bigger, sometimes a little smaller...it has been there for over 2,000 years. I remember there was a class in primary school were students were asked to say what was Romania's shape like? The book's answer was that it looked like a bunch of flowers in a flower pot (the Black Sea) and a picture accompanied the text. Here's my brother's answer: "Romania looks like a duck with it's butt in the water." The water still being the Black Sea. How innocent of him! As a grownup I see Romania shaped like everything I miss about my childhood, about my friends and family and about Romania's beautiful scenery. There's no day that I do not miss home.
