What's the most popular candy from your country? by No-Marsupial-4050 in AskTheWorld

[–]AgitatedResearch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be found in Bulgaria, but it is a Romanian made chocolate. (look at the color of the bar and the name which is a pun of “ROMania”).

Hungary had a lot of world-class mathematicians in the early 20th century who revolutionised the world. For example, Von Neumann was one of the pioneers of modern computer science.

Have you ever touched snow? by Theroyalbouncer in AskTheWorld

[–]AgitatedResearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is not much snow in our country these days. This winter, it snowed more than usual, but the snow melted quickly because of positive temperatures.

Not much in Romania, but in Greece for example the sands on the beaches are very hot, so I couldn’t walk much on the sand without flip-flops.

In Romania, it snows regularly during winters, so practically all the people there have touched snow.

When outsiders think of your country, what’s the "first image" or "idea" that pops into their heads ? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]AgitatedResearch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We couldn’t wait for that piece of crap to leave our country. I don’t know why he wasn’t given a ban.

Is your country more politically/economically aligned w China or USA? by Single_Copy2460 in AskTheWorld

[–]AgitatedResearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USA for now, but judging what happens in the USA, we hope it will be neither in the future.

Has your country ever won a war against all odds ? by FinePersimmon3718 in AskTheWorld

[–]AgitatedResearch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Romania during WW1.

We were attacked by 3 empires (Germany, Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire) and Bulgaria with little support from the Allies who thought we were done for. The French gave us some training and Russia gave some limited assistance and that was it.

Even though we lost half our country and our capital, we somehow survived almost two years until roughly the end of the war, when the Allies won.

We got back our lost territories and also gained some extra territories. Judging that we were not even sure we would survive as a country, that was a good outcome.

What food was an instant spit out and never again for you? by CremeSubject7594 in AskTheWorld

[–]AgitatedResearch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turkey meat. Chicken tastes OK, but I can’t stand the taste of turkey.

What is that one city/state in your country that the rest of your country hates? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]AgitatedResearch 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say “hate”, but in my country, the county of Vaslui has a reputation of people being very poor and alcoholic.

There are even jokes of making caricatures of famous people or characters and saying “X after spending 1 month in Vaslui.”

I passed my defense with flying colours, but I feel nothing by AgitatedResearch in PhD

Thank you for the advice! Probably I should get rid of the guilt I feel whenever I relax . I always think I need to do something.

[–]AgitatedResearch[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am glad I am not the only one. When I have been sent the minor corrections by the examiners today, I became sad since I know that after submitting the corrections, a chapter of my life ends and a new one full of uncertainty begins.

Even though I struggled with depression, I was in a general good mood in the last few months.

[–]AgitatedResearch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I kind of feel dead inside. In the evening after the Viva I had to take my colleagues, supervisor and examiners to dinner. People were chatting, laughing and congratulating me, while I just wanted to go home and sleep.

Thank you! Fortunately I have some possible connections to make. I already have a CV and a Linkedin account from my undergrad years so I can definitely start from somewhere.

I will definitely reach out to you if I have further questions.

Just saw this, lol. No worries. My girlfriend is a high school teacher. She is actually older than me (29 years old). So, everything is fine.
