If
you're ever invited to drink tuica, a strong alcool beverage made of plums,
you have to finish your glass otherwise it will bring bad luck. You don't
have to drink it in one sip, but you have to finish it!
Some tips so that Romanians won`t be offended if you visit a church or
a monastery (a courtesy of my Romanian friends):
1) take of your hat in a church
2) if you`re an unmarried couple, don`t walk hands in hands in a monastery
3) Don`t were clothes that are inapropriate such as very short skirt or
shorts or sleeveless tops
Few people spoke some English. Haha, a man was saying'No camera ! No camera
!' We thought he got nervous because we were videotaping him. So we consoled
him not to worry about our videocamera. Later sb. cleared it out. It meant
that there were no rooms available for us "kamera'' = room.
And imagine, we met a group of Czech tourists. Their bus fridge was stuffed
with the Gambrinus beer. It was a welcome ! We were changing beer for
cakes but later regretted, oh yes. Those babuska's know what a business
is
Easter is undoubtedly the main holiday in the spring, and Romanians are
celebrating it every year with the same devotion and respect as their
ancestors. Maybe the big city has somewhat replaced the old tradition
of going to the church after a six-week lent with the simple surprise
of eating Easter eggs while waiting for the Easter bunny. However, people
all over the country are still very religious and willing to pass the
custom to the next generations and to share it with the foreigners who
are curious about it.
The holy Easter days are a remembrance of the holy story of the Resurrection.
They are also the occasion for people get together these days and enjoy
the hours spent with their families while eating traditional food.
Here are the most important aspects of the Romanian traditional Lent and
Easter days. They made up a unique event that attracts many foreign tourists
year by year. They come and visit the monasteries and other main religious
sites, while accommodating at rural pensions or peasants’ homes
in order to take part in the ritual of celebrating Easter, enjoying the
simple pleasures that get them closer to their spirit.
After sharing the food and the eggs with the poor at the church, people
go home and have their first meal after the Lent. They invite all their
relatives and friends for a small party where they bring various courses
on the table: lamb borsch, lamb steak, the traditional “sarmale”,
sweet bread called “cozonac” and a variety of cheese and raisins
pie called “pasca”. But if you join such a party, and you
should definitely do it if you are in Romania on Easter, try the wines
served or buy the one that you enjoy the most. This is a day of celebration
the holy resurrection and also one of the best opportunities to get along
with your friends and taste some of the Romanian culinary masterpieces,
feeling great in a special atmosphere.
Tipping in restaurants is not the norm in Romania. If the service is particularly
good then around 20,000 lei is plenty. Don't even think about leaving
10% of a large bill-outside really flashy places this wil be percieved
as very extravagant.
For some reason Romanians seem to be deathly afraid of any kind of indoor
draft. Apparently the "current" makes people sick. Anyway, even
in 45 degree weather take care not to open a door and a window (to
create a draft).
