Romania is a territory
marked by the 45th parallel of northern latitude, a line of equilibrium
and harmony to be equally traced in the natural and human landscape. Romania
is the land that you will feel proud to discover! Much of the Romanian
language comes from Latin and it was from the Romans that the name Romania
was first derived. Our country has a great variety of landscapes, folk
tradition, art and a very pleasant climate.
Romania has the shape of
a peasant's round loaf of bread with relief forms displayed in slowly,
descending circular steps. Huge mountains, rich hills covered by orchards
and vineyards, and fertile fields are delimited by the crown of the Carpathians
and by the biggest continental river, the Danube. The splendid Danube Delta
is a paradise of vegetation, birds, fishes, and loneliness. At the beginning
of time, Ovid, exiled to the Black Sea (8A.D. -18A.D.) said, "A man who
comes here is destined to die here, and die happy even against his will".
Our region Vrancea
is the smaller image of Romania size. Its inhabitants are hospitable open
and diligent people who praise their history and love their homeland! They
themselves are a very hospitable people pleased you came to show friendliness.
There is no other county in Romania well so worth visiting. Our hospitable
greeting of "Bun venit" is the Romanian for "Welcome" and that is comes
readily to the tongues of peasant, workers, everybody. Vrancea is a land
of hot sunshine, clear blue skies. Its people have lived here since times
out of mind, their roots are as deep as those of the fir-trees and just
like the fir-trees they love the sunshine of life. Our people were and
will always be young, honest, friendly, hospitable and hardworking.
Forests are the most important
resources of the county. This region is also the biggest wine producer
of the country. The plain area is under cereals, vegetables, and technical
plants. The inhabitants of hilly and mountains settlements breed animals
on natural pastures and hayfields.
Our town Focsani is
first recorded in 1545. In time, it became a border town between Moldavia
and Wallachia. Among places of cultural interest there are here. On Romania's
map our town having about 100,000 inhabitants can be located in the south-
east.
Our secondary school
is not far from center of the town. It was built in 1964 and nowadays is
famous for lots of good results in different competitions the students
take part in.
We first heard about Internet
years ago. We think it is a brilliant idea to be part of the global learning
process. The network projects connect us to the world wide with its own
contemporary problems. On the other hand their subjects and themes make
us work in a profitable way for both sides. Learning by the aid of computer
network communications gives us the opportunity to realize that we work
properly.
We want to become happy persons
in a beautiful world, respecting all the people in our world despite color,
language, opinions or financial status and help people in need. That it
will be the best experience of your life. We are always open to new ideas
and better ways of teaching especially now that technology has made the
world so small! |
