SPORTS:
Romania has given great Olympic athletes, both in gymnastics and athletics, tennis and rowing. Soccer is also practiced in this country. Steaua Bucharest is the best known team, as it is the first -and only- club in its country that won the champions league in 1986
Oina is the national sport of Romania. It is similar to baseball, two teams of eleven players play and whoever makes more points like baseball wins. and to compare it with our culture we can say that oina is to romania. what '' tejo '' is to colombia because both sports represent the culture of their respective country
Nadia Comăneci She is considered one of the greatest gymnasts in history.
The Romanian gymnast has won nine medals in different Olympic games with five gold medals and was also the first gymnast to achieve a perfect score of 10 in the asymmetric category and also romania is the home of one of the best football players in history, Gheorghe Hagi, who played and won several titles in different teams like :Steaua Bucharest, Galatasaray Turkey, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Finally I conclude that Romania is a very sporty country with a very rich culture from which we can learn from their sports.
A highlight of any trip to a foreign country is getting acquainted with its cuisine. There's an old saying that the food is the heart of the country. It's an adventure that requires only some suggestions of good traditional restaurants and a desire to get to know the country beyond its most well-known tourist attractions.
Romania's traditional cuisine is a testament to the country's roots on the land and was influenced by both invaders and neighbors.
This southeastern European country's traditional food reflects touches of Turkish, Hungarian, Slavic, and Austrian cuisines, but over the years, these dishes have become considered traditional Romanian just as much as the oldest foods in the country.
Colombia is not a paradise for vegetarians as the Colombian diet includes a lot of meat. In the coastal areas you will find a good variety of fish, lobster and seafood often prepared with a sauce made out of coconut milk. The offer of fresh fruit is overwhelming and many of the varieties you have probably never heard of before.
