I should explain my reasoning since it went away on racism(!) accusations, even if it is so late no one will read it. :-) According to what I've read, the biggest difference in social parameters from my native Nordic place and Romania is trust. Trust in other people, in the state, in the police and so on. It is a quite logical result in an ex dictatorship that had a brutal secret police. I assumed the complete lack of trust in others was a large reason behind the lack of foresight and planning. "A stranger, let's get his money!" But -- it is not everyone that do this. That said, as long as no money is involved it is like being on Ireland. People are really nice and friendly. Less violence here than in the North. And so on. That this attitude is international will make me reevaluate my thinking. (Next time someone implies racism as the basis of something, I'll just call them "pederast" -- with as much support... :-) But I will admit to racism on one point -- I am deeply convinced that people from Hungary and from Asia are all good cooks. :-) )
