Doing
Business with Romanians
As its name suggests Romanians owe their language to Roman conquerors of antiquity, and their speech and culture separate them from their many Slavic neighbors. Often passed from one empire to another, today Romania is again coming to its own, moving slowly and worryingly in the direction of full integration into the life of the European Union. Much pain, sadness and poverty need to be left behind. Romanians muddle through with a shrewdness born of necessity. Enter their world and their minds for a few minutes with this quiz about living and working with Romanians.
