Why you should go to Romania?

This time I'd like to tell you why Romania is worth visiting. For me this question is really simple - because everyone will find in Romania something for themselves!
If you are a fan of the cities - here you are. Romania has a lot of beautiful cities like: Bucharest, Brasov or Cluj-Napoka. Would you like to spend your free time on the beach, swim in the sea and sunbathe? You have at your disposal about 225 km of sea coast of the Black Sea with the city of Constanta which is the capital of this part of Romania. If you like walking tours and you like admire the landscapes and moutains you will feel like in heaven because in Romania you can find the Carpathian Mountains. What is more, if you would like to see a traditional zone of Romania you have to go to the north part of this country. In Bukovina or Maramures you will find well-preserved culture. In conclusion, Romania is a land of remarkable diversity in which everybody will feel good.

Leon Volovici

Today I would like to write about the book that I have ordered one week ago. It is a book written by Leon Volovici who is a romanian writer whose grandparents were Jewish. The book I want to write about is called "De la Iași la Ierusalim și înapoi" which we can translate like "From Iași to Jerusalem". 

This book is a long interview with Leon Volovici who has left Romania with his wife (who was polish) and with his two children in 1984 and has settled down in Jerusalem. In this city he wrote books about history and culture of the romanian Jews. His autobiography is an another book of him which is focused on this problem. He writes about the history of Jewish minority in Romania during the World War II and during the Communist time. What is more, interview with Leon Volovici is supported by a lot of essays and articles whch help us understand better the sad history of Romania, Poland and Israel.

The measles outbreak in Romania

The measles outbreak in Romania, which took important proportions in the first period of the year is really dangerous problem recently. Since the beginning of the year fell ill a huge amount of the people which is 935 cases. Because of an epidemic 6 people have died already. One of the victim was the 27 year-old woman and the one year-old girl.

 

The most affected area is located in the west of Romania near the border with Hungary in the city of Arad but the measles outbreak is visible in the whole country. There also a lot of cities in which this dangerous problem spreads really fast. The Ministry of Health announced that the cause may be really simple. Many children are now not vaccinated and that's why they aren't protected  against common life-threatening diseases.

The picture below presents the situation of the measles outbreak in the first eight months of the last year in Romania. Most of the cases appeared in the west side of the coutry and in the north  of Romania.
