From Paris to Bern, the foreign ministries of all European countries and the United States and Canada, have at heart to inform their countrymen of the dangers facing them in the land of Dracula [Romania ...]. A cart with a license plate rolling on the asphalt of Bucharest has become a symbol of urban Romania.
And, seen from abroad, the country is full of pickpockets scarcely less dangerous than dogs or the local pavement cracks horrible. The Belgians are also advise to have on them as photocopies of their identity documents and be careful when stopped by police: "Passengers are sometimes challenged by bogus police officers," argues an official statement .
Bicycle lanes, street lighting and road signs for cyclists are almost nonexistent, says Brussels, which also warns against the fact that "the country knows about every thirty years a large earthquake," citing the earthquake devastating earthquake of 1977 [11 000 casualties, including 2,000 dead].
In London, the Foreign Office warns subjects of His Majesty that Romania presents a latent risk of terrorism: "The attacks are indiscriminate." Like most countries of the European Union, the United Kingdom highlights the risk of cross thieves around exchange offices, hotels and public transport, especially in the vicinity of the airport.
The method often used, we learn, is to distract the victim while accomplices try to steal watches and jewelry. This process would be confined to bands of children. Berlin, for his part, via the website of its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, pointed out that Romania has only 320 km of motorways and it ranks among the EU countries where there is the greatest number of 'fatal traffic accidents: "Beware of potholes, potholes and dangerous driving buses and trucks," the statement said.
Another danger lies in wait for the adventurous who wish to camp: "Do not store food inside the tent because of the attacks of wild animals have already occurred, particularly bear in search of food." In France, a similar warning is issued on the website of the Quai d'Orsay. If (bad) encounter with a bear, he said, avoid shouting and making sudden movements.
Do not feed the beast. Austria, meanwhile, is particularly concerned about the health care system in Romania. "Because of hygienic conditions, outdated equipment and drug shortages, the level of medical care does not meet the standards of Western Europe," officials say. In Rome, the Foreign Ministry does not show more kindness.
Great caution is recommended in certain areas of Bucharest. The nightlife in Romania is considered a potential hazard. Rome will recommend to the Italian tourists not to accept invitations from strangers in clubs and discos. Seen from the other side of the Atlantic, the vision is so bleak.
Travel advice from U.S. to Romania issued by the State Department (equivalent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) explained that "the financial crisis and austerity measures have increased the frequency of strikes and demonstrations in Romania especially in Bucharest. The institution therefore advises American citizens to avoid demonstrations, as, indeed, the Gay Pride in Bucharest, which gives rise to violent protests.
A good point, however, gives Washington: Although there are (also) of racial prejudice in Romania, "particularly against Roma, racially motivated crimes are rare. No, really, Romania is the first haven for fraud and credit card on the Internet, says the U.S. government. Therefore, it is strongly advised not to lend money to people who claim to have a sick child or losing their jobs.
Before we shocked about these remarks, often true, shaping the image of our country abroad, we should recognize how this image is constantly deteriorating. And how the Romanian government lacks the will to change anything in this regard. The logo of a transportation company incorporated in the campaign Romanian Tourism Office (Source: www.
