Romania

Mihai talked about his trip to Romania . Mihai was surprised at the difference in his home country. He talked about the depressed areas, and lack of respect people seemed to have. Jobs seem to be scarce, and the ones that are available only pay minimum wage. Even though some people only make $300.00 a month, everyone owns a car. All the drivers seem to want to drive fast, even though the roads are in poor condition. The fatality rate in Mihai's home county was very high.
