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.
