It lies on either side of the mountain systems collectively known as the Carpathians, which form the natural barrier between the two Danube basins. Romania's location gives it a continental climate, particularly in the Old Kingdom (east of the Carpathians and south of the Transylvanian Alps ) and to a lesser extent in Transylvania, where the climate is more moderate. A long and at times severe winter (December-March), a hot summer (April-July), and a prolonged autumn (August-November) are the principal seasons, with a rapid transition from spring to summer.

Extractions: Twenty-Five Lectures on Modern Balkan History Lecture 1: Geography and ethnic geography of the Balkans to 1500 Preface Complete list of lectures Next lecture One can't understand the Balkans without understanding its ethnic groups, and one can't understand the ethnic groups and their history without knowing the influence of the region's geography. Even the geographic extent of the "Balkan" region is a matter of controversy. Many scholars, especially those writing in the Cold War era, have included only the Communist states and linked them with Czechoslovakia, Poland and East Germany, while omitting Greece and ignoring Turkey and the Ottoman era. Other historians exclude Hungary, Croatia and other Habsburg lands, because of their "central" European character, supposedly contrary to Balkan themes. But the presence of contradictory themes is itself characteristically Balkan. For the purposes of this course of lectures, the Balkan area includes Greece, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Romania, Albania and Hungary. Most of this area was once under Ottoman Turkish rule; the rest under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The lectures will not deal with all of the Ottoman Empire, which extended into Asia and Africa, or other former Habsburg lands such as Czechoslovakia and parts of Poland. Balkan geography revolves around three features: the area's situation as a peninsula, its mountains, and its rivers.

Extractions: Each team will comprise three students who have excelled in their country's national geography competitions. The teams will meet to answer questions on physical, cultural and economic geography in two levels of competition. Current world champions, the United States, will defend their title against returning teams from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Singapore and the United Kingdom, as well as up to eight new countries whose names will be announced once their national competitions have been completed. "Promoting geography education is one of the core missions of the National Geographic Society," said Terry Garcia, executive vice president for mission programs. "Studies have shown an alarming lack of geographic knowledge among the world's young people. The National Geographic World Championship provides a forum for top geography students from all corners of the globe to pit their wits against each other to determine which country's team is the international geography champion. Each student gains knowledge of the other competing countries' cultures and becomes a better global citizen for the experience." The competition begins July 15, when all the teams will take a written test in the morning and battle one another in a challenging outdoor map-reading course in the afternoon. The three teams with the highest scores will meet on July 16 for the finals. They will answer questions in a game-show format moderated by Alex Trebek, host of the U.S. television quiz show "Jeopardy!"

Physicians can also be helpful, but note: flexibility is key, as equipment and medicine are scarce throughout this country.

Extractions: Austria ... Mediterranean Guide Romania: Overview When you say Romania, you say the Carpathians, the Black Sea, the Danube Delta, the monasteries in the North of Moldavia, and the old traditions of Maramures. There is also Transilvania with the well-known (fear-inspiring) legend of Dracula, the sweet wine and the tasty traditional cuisine. But above all, Romania is a beautiful country due to its people who are always happy when having guests. As the geographical area is not that wide, the variety of sights may strike you as surprising. In Romania, you can go to the seaside for a perfect tan but you may as well reach the highest peaks of the wild mountains, explore the deep caverns or the Danube Delta. And you still have choices, as you can spend your time enjoying the prosperity of a traditional household, with a good food and an excellent wine.
