Some tips when coming to visiting Romania!

Romanians are friendly and open and foreigners are usually made very welcome. Chatting with visitors is very common for Romanians and they will find a way to communicate with you even if they cannot speak your language.
Older people particularly appreciate old-fashioned politeness. It is respectful to use Mrs. or Mr. when using the name of a person that you have just meet.
Handshaking is the most common form of greeting. When a Romanian man is introduced to a woman, he will probably kiss her hand, strictly avoiding her eyes.
If one refuses what a host offers to eat or drink, this will often be taken as a polite refusal by a guest who really means to say "yes". If you want to refuse the offer find a polite excuse and say it firmly or ask for an alterntive a replacement. It is common to linger once the meal (lunch or dinner) is over. When visiting someone at their home, bring a small gift. The most common gifts
include flowers or chocolate (for women only), a bottle of wine or liquor.
The number of flowers that one offers must always be odd.
Other well-appreciated gifts include Western cosmetics (i.e. eau de toilette or after-shave) and clothing. All gifts should be wrapped, but many Romanians might not unwrap their gifts in your presence.
In Romania, as in many Latin countries life is lived at a more relaxed pace. Normal European courtesies should be followed on social occasions. Although casual dress is fine on most occasions, wearing a suit and tie, or the women's equivalent, is important at business meetings. Appointments are necessary and punctuality is expected.
It is not considered impolite to ask a person's age, their political beliefs,
income or religion, so don't take such questions as an insult.amiss.
