Romania

Romania is interesting country with wonderful people leaving there.
Iași is the second largest and the university city of Romania.
The post card symbol of the city, The Palace of Culture

Iași

The city is located on eastern part of Romania and has some element of typical Romanian architecture, the typical triangular/conic roof style of Churches.

Which is  used on regular buildings as well

 This style exists on all buildings built prior to communism

The style gives some serious look to building

The old churches are super similar to Armenian Churches

Iași used to have quite large Jewish population

The interiors of the Churches are almost everywhere decorated with mosaics

Although some super ugly soviet or post-soviet buildings can be met

Romanian language is super similar to Italian or Spanish

The local currency Lei is made of plastic, which is very durable compared to traditional paper banknotes.

Some cozy central neighborhoods were  reconstructed recently

Surprisingly Iași has quite active Armenian community, the city has an Armenian Street 

And a church
