Differences between Romania and US-Essay

All the countries in the world are beautiful. Every country has something special, something that makes it unique, either is the culture, the people, size or climate. My country is Romania; there I was born and raised. I love my country and sometimes I try to figure out the differences between my country and other countries, for Example US. I think that are some huge differences between those two countries like, size, climate and lifestyle.
First, difference is their size. Romania is located on the Southeastern Europe, between Bulgaria and Ukraine and has an area as 237,500sq.km, which includes cities, rivers, lakes, hills and mountains. Also, the Romanian Danube Delta and the Black Sea coast are very famous and every year thousands of tourists are going to visit the Riviera and the Resorts. In contrast, US is located in North America bordering both North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, between Canada and Mexico and has a total area of 9,629,091sp.km.The US is about one- half size of Russia, and larger than Brazil or China.
Another important difference is the weather. Romania has a temperate-continental climate with hot summers and cold winters from December until end of March. Romanians average annual temperature is 52F in the south and on the coast, 36F in the mountains. In the summer are frequent showers and thunderstorms in the mountains, and in the winter lots of snow. The United States has a wide range of climates. From humid continental in north to humid subtropical in the south, Sometimes in the winter when in some cities from the north side are 32F in the other side of the country in cities like Miami or Texas are over 60F.
Finally, lifestyle is another difference between Romania in US. In my country the people have almost the same lifestyle because the population is based most on Romanians and respect the same tradition and the same style of living. For example, people when get married they don’t live with the parents in the same house, they are moving out with the wife and live together. In the other hand, because there are so many people and races that live in the US, the lifestyle is so different. Let’s say the same example, the Hispanic people after they get married they still live with the family but the Europeans don’t because they respect their tradition.
Although, my country and US are not the same and there are few differences I still believe that both are very nice countries who worth to live in and be visited by many people. I’m planning to visit US and explore this beautiful country.

My trip to America Essay

My trip to America

            America, the country where  dreams comes true, ”the land of the free". I had been dreaming about America since I was a teenager. And, in 2009 when I had the opportunity to come here to the US, it didn’t take me so long to say “Yes”.Now after almost 2 and half years of living in America, I still remember my trip to America.
 It was a sunny day in November 2009, when I woke up that morning I had strange feeling, it was like at the same time a very good feeling of happiness because I was about to leave my country and chase my dream to America, but at the same time it was a sad feeling because I had to leave my brother there. After I drank my coffee, me, my brother and my best friend were heading to the Henri Coanda  International Airport in Bucharest. After an almost 2 hours driving we got there.
Before checking in I said goodbye to my brother and to my best friend and I promised them that I will see them soon. I remember that when I bought my ticket I was looking for a window seat, which I got. The flight to America  was very long, about 14 hours, but we  had a 1 hour stop in Germany. I couldn’t sleep at all, the whole flight I  watched movies and listened music. I used to fly before but I never felt the same like now,maybe because it was something different.Even the situation was different, before I use to fly for fun, but now it was for a new begging, a new life.
Finally, after a 14 hours flight we arrived In Chicago. It was about 9 o’clock and I remember that because, before landing I was watching the window and I was wowed about that great view. All those huge buildings, the big highways and beautiful houses.After I picking up my baggage, I saw my mom and I ran to her; I was so happy to see her again after so long, almost 5 years.
In conclusion, I had a very good trip with no incidents, all the flight attendants were so nice and polite, the food was good and I had a great time; I could say that I enjoyed my trip to America.
