Summer Camp 2016 - Monday 18th July (II part)

Today we're in Romania 

Today our campers are learning more about Romania. Have you known...

• The most famous novels, inspired by Romania, are “The Castle in the Carpathians” by Jules Verne, and “Dracula” by Bram Stoker

• The name "Romania" comes from the Latin word "Romanus" which means "citizen of the Roman Empire."
•  
• The meaning of the word "Transylvania" is the land beyond the forest.
•  
• With an area of 92,043 square miles (238,391 square kilometer), Romania is the largest country in Southeastern Europe. It is roughly the same size as the United Kingdom and slightly smaller than the U.S. state of Oregon.
•  
• On March 1 Romanians celebrate the beginning of spring in their own, unique way. To show their friendship, respect or admiration, men and boys offer to their (female) family members, friends and colleagues a "Martisor" (small trinket attached to a red/ white lace - red for love and white for honesty). The tradition is said to have originated in Roman times.
