Romania in Lyon

I just came back from France, where I was invited for the International Days of the Embassies in Lyon. Romania was represented by the cities of Topoloveni and Horezu, which have some strong symbols of our country, branded like "Magiun de Topoloveni" (a wide range of jam), "Horezu Pots", individually painted with Romanian symbols and "ia", a blouse part of the traditional costume. It was overwhelming to see such varietes of countries and traditions in the same place. There are many more to say, but to wrap things up:

• Romania is a shaken country, but it still deserves to fight for it. If you let the youngest of us to do things well. We are building Romania, as a nation, for us, right? Or have I misheard?

• After these days, I'm tempted to say that here are some of the most beautiful girls in the world.
