Discovered in her hometown of Bucharest, Romania, Alina Puscau became an overnight sensation as a model. With her lithe 5-foot-9 (176 cm) frame, her long brown hair, full lips and piercing green eyes, her looks were an instant hit. At 16, she won the Elite Model Look, which launched her career on an international level. Before long, she was traveling the world over, shooting for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Victoria's Secret and Glamour, and with the top fashion photographers, from Bruce Weber to Patrick Demarchelier. And while her life took on a fantasy-like quality, there was still a dream left unfulfilled—becoming a singer.

Romanian Apartment Blocks

Communism has left its stamp on Romania. Monstrous blocks of flats are discovered on the outskirts of almost every major town and city - a relic of the past. The drive for transition from a predominantly agrarian nation to an industrial nation necessitated the need the housing within the towns and cities. Peasants were encouraged to move from the countryside to work in industry. Large industrial towns such as Ploieşti, south of Buchareşti, grew leaving vast industrial wastelands in their wake. Big was beautiful.

Romany Gypsies

The Gypsy peoples originate from Sind region now in Pakistan.

Their Rom language is close to the older forms of Indian languages.

The three tribes of Rom, Sinti, and Kale probably left India after a succession of campaigns in Sind through the C11, initially spending time in Armenia and Persia, then moving into the Byzantine Empire after the Seljuk Turk attacks on Armenia.

Within the Byzantine Empire they dispersed into the Balkans reaching Wallachia (1385) and Moldavia (1370) ahead of this area falling to the Ottoman Turks. Other groups also moved through India to Gujarat and south of Delhi.

Gypsy populations can still be found along all these migration routes.


When entering west Europe they initially had letters of protection from the King of Hungary. This privileged situation did not last long as amazement at their way of life commonly led to hostilities. The Gypsy way of life still leads to hostilities from the people of their host nations.

Europeans regard "private property" as sacrosanct, whereas gypsies do not have a word for "possess", which gives rise to two incompatible ways of life and a continual problem of gypsies being regarded as "thieves" from the European's view.


In each host nation gypsies appear to take on the religion, names and language of their hosts, but within the Rom they maintain their Rom language, names, music, customs and Indian looks.

This tight community has meant that after some six hundred years there is still a large population of gypsies not integrated or assimilated with Romanians.
From the time of their arrival in Romania Gypsies were the slaves of the landowners, only to be emancipated in 1851.

While in Romania some of the Gypsies took to speaking a version of Romanian called Bayesh which can be heard in some of the songs of Gypsy groups recorded in Hungary.

Nowadays about 40% of the Gypsies still speak Romany and many can still be seen travelling in lines of carts along the roads of Romania. The majority live in the towns and villages, some fully integrated into villages, some in large ornate houses standing out from the Romanians, but others in small buildings on scraps of lands on the villages edges.


The Rom tribes distinguish themselves by the names of their trades:


* Lăutari = musicians and dancers

* Căldărari (Kalderash) = Tin and coppersmiths
* Argintari = Jewellers

* Fierari = Blacksmiths
* Zlateri = gold panners

* Ghurara = sieve makers
* Lovar = horse dealers

Emaciated Children In Braila

Posted by carlyluvsunited on

orphan orphanage romania
Some Romanian orphans are treated worse than you would treat a dog. These are human beings. Forget about all this shit about why their parents had these children for now. Look at this child, will discussion like this help him? No it wont, in fact no one is helping him. Our government is full of corrupt assholes and the sooner the world sees all this the better.

I could take you to several orphanages in and around Bucuresti that 'don't exist' and show you cruelty like you would never imagine. They wont let you in.....in fact the police would probably arrest you if you went near it. The plans to get into the EU and the future requirements to get cash off the EU depend on all this being hidden away but I'll be a thorn in their side until these children are helped. It is a building with 200+ children inside and NOT ONE OF THEM CRIES !! Why not you may ask yourself. Because they have given up, yes they have given up. When they cry nobody comes, so why fucking bother.

I haven't given up though. Maybe it is too late for this generation but the next might be saved if we ALL give the Romanian government enough pressure.

MDRI investigators found emaciated children, starving and near death, at the adult psychiatric facility in Braila.

Several teenagers weighed less than 30 lbs.

Mental Disability Rights International (MDRI), has found children with disabilities hidden and wasting away, near death, in Romania's adult psychiatric facilities.

A report released by MDRI, Hidden Suffering: Romania's Segregation and Abuse of Infants and Children with Disabilities, describes teenagers weighing no more than 27 pounds.

Some children are tied down with bedsheets, their arms and legs twisted and left to atrophy.



Despite Romanian government claims that it has ended the placement of babies in institutions, MDRI found infants languishing in a medical facility so poorly staffed that the children never leave their cribs.

Many of these children have no identity papers. Officially, they do not exist.

These shocking revelations come at a time when Romania, in its efforts since joining the EU, is under pressure to reduce the number of children in institutions.

Romanian officials admitted to MDRI that they had no idea how many children with disabilities are in adult facilities.

"I call on the government of Romania and the EU to put a stop to these abuses PLEASE, these are Romania's most vulnerable citizens. The inhumane and degrading treatment that they are forced to endure is intolerable and violates international human rights law."

Somebody somewhere might read this and help, but probably not !

Brasov - The Hollywood Of Romania

Posted by carlyluvsunited on

downtown brasov

Braşov (pronounced [braˈʃov]; Hungarian: Brassó; German: Kronstadt; Medieval Latin: Brassovia or Corona) is a city in Romania and the capital of Braşov County, with a population of 284,596, according to the 2007 census.

It is the 7th largest Romanian city, after Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timişoara, Iaşi, Craiova and Galaţi. People from Braşov are known, in English, as Braşovean.

Braşov is located in the central part of the country, about 166 km from Bucharest. It is surrounded by the Southern Carpathians, and is part of the Transylvania region.

The city is notable for hosting the Golden Stag (Cerbul de Aur) international music festival.

The city was first atested in the 13th century under the name Corona. The current Romanian and Hungarian names are derived from the Pecheneg word, barasu, meaning "fortress". On Tâmpa Mountain, located on the southern side of the city, there was a citadel called Brassovia, which gave both the Romanian and the Hungarian name of the city.

The first attested mention of Braşov is Terra Saxonum de Barasu ("Saxon Land of Baras"), in a 1252 document. The German name Kronstadt means "Crown City", and is reflected in the city's coat of arms, as well as in its Medieval Latin name, Corona. The three names of the city (Braşov/Brassó, Kronstadt, and Corona) were used simultaneously in the Middle Ages.

From 1950 to 1960, during part of the Communist period in Romania, the city was called Oraşul Stalin (Stalin City), after the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.

If you ever go to Romania then you MUST visit Priad Salt Mines - it will take your breath away with it's stunning beauty and you will stand in awe at the work that has been done there.

It is made up of three main tunnels (picture 2) and inside there is a playground for children (picture 1) - then, be prepared to see the church that has been cut out from inside the mine (picture 3), it is a miraculous achievement to build it and a sight you will never see again as long as you live.

Every time I go there it brings tears of joy to my eyes. Though our country doesn't have much money compared to many others, just look at what we can do with the things God gave us, it makes me so proud to see these things and it is why I love Romania so much.

Pelisor Castle / Castelul Pelisor

Posted by carlyluvsunited on Wednesday 4 February 2009

pelisor castle romania

Pelişor Castle (Romanian: Castelul Pelişor) is a castle in Sinaia, Romania, part of the same complex as the larger castle of Peles. It was built in 1899–1903 by order of King Carol I, as the residence for his nephew and heir, the future King Ferdinand (son of Carol's brother Leopold von Hohenzollern) and Ferdinand's consortQueen Marie.

In 2006, it was decided that the palace complex, including Pelisor, long a museum and tourist site, is the legal property of the heirs of the Romanian royal family. They will take legal possession of it and sell it back to the Romanian state, so that it will remain in its current status. The main castle of Peles has already so sold, but negotiations about other villas and chateaus are ongoing. King Michael I of Romania appears decisive that of the complex, Pelisor castle will remain as place for his heirs, the Royal Family.

Pelişor was designed by the Czech architect Karel Liman in the Art Nouveau style; the furniture and the interior decorations were designed mostly by the Viennese Bernhard Ludwig. There are several chambers, working cabinets, a chapel, and "the golden room". Queen Marie herself, an accomplished artist, made many of the artistic decisions about the design of the palace, and participated in its decoration, including as a painter. Queen Marie considered Art Nouveau a weapon against sterile historicism, creating a personal style combining Art-Nouveau elements with Byzantine and Celtic elements.

The hall of honor is very simple with the walls covered with oak-timber and a glass ceiling.

European Brown Bears

This is the European Brown Bear.

Populations in Scandinavia are low - with perhaps 2000 bears
in Sweden, for example - but steady and slowly increasing.

Larger populations can be found in Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Bulgaria and Romania, but these are isolated populations. Most of the
brown bears in Europe can be found in Russia, however, it was near
extinction due to extensive hunting prior the Russian revolution of 1917.

In my home town, Zizin and in Brasov, Craiova, Tarlungeni and
other places in Transylvania, they can be seen wandering down the
main streets looking for food.
