This city was amazing. It was so clean, I had a quiet flat near the sea, was so quiet you couldn't hear a pin drop. Amazing low cost food and farmer's markets. Transport cheaper than most cities in Europe at $1.50 lei a ride. Beautiful malls and zoo/aqua park. The beaches have the best jogging in all of Europe , maybe the world. You have wide sand of various viscosity so you can run perfectly as you wish. The air is clean and fresh. I really think to move here. Romania has one of the lowest income taxes in the world. If you compare to Canada or Denmark it's almost no tax at 10% flat. Medical care is amazing. Better than anything I ever experienced in the West. No lineups, instant tests same day that would have weeks or months of wait time in the West. Really if this isn't Paradise I don't know what is!
