High-speed
internet
Romanians
take pride in their internet connection speeds.It's
among Europe's best (fixed broadband speeds are ranked
fifth in the globe!).Romanian cities will not disappoint
you if you require dependable and fast internet
connection.
Currency
The Romanian currency is the leu (plural: lei), which
literally means "lion." In exchanges, you'll find
pricing displayed in RON as well, but it's the same
thing. Their bills are brightly colored and made of
plastic, so there's no need to be concerned if you leave
money in your pocket and then wash laundry! The bills
can also be disinfected, which is a great feature in the
COVID era.
As exchange rates fluctuate, the RON is around four
EUR and four USD.
Affordability
Is Romania a costly place to live?No! In truth, if you are
paid in Euros or USD, living in Romania is
very reasonable.By Romanian standards, several cities are
more expensive. Prices vary slightly from city to city, as
they do in every country.Everything costs about 25% less
in the Philippines than it does in the West, from rent to
groceries and everything in between.
The food
Traditional
Romanian food is delicious. It's organic,
fresh, and made with a lot of love. However, with a
major emphasis on pork, it may be quite rich. There are
also a variety of classic soups to try. Also, make sure
to taste sarmale, Romania's unofficial national meal, as
well as papanași, the best Romanian dessert.
At some time, you will surely be invited to a Romanian
home for dinner. Bring flowers or wine. Also, once
you're there, don't be afraid to eat. Prepare to devour
a week's worth of calories in an afternoon if you have
the good fortune to spend Christmas or Easter in a
Romanian home.
Outlets &
electricity
The power plugs and sockets in Romania are type F. The
standard voltage and frequency are 230 V and 50 Hz,
respectively.
Romanian vs. roma
When people talk about Romanian
gypsies, they're not talking about Romanians; they're
talking about Roma people. It's a different ethnicity,
so tread carefully or you'll irritate someone
Romanian
Romanian is a Latin-based Romance language, so if you're
familiar with Italian, Portuguese, French, or Spanish,
you'll notice a lot of parallels. They do have several
unusual sounds and letters/accents that make pronouncing
them difficult.
In cities, almost everyone under the age of 45 speaks
English. Still, do your best to acquire a few
fundamental phrases; they'll come in handy before you
move to Romania. It's also courteous.
