Well, 150 years ago, in Bucharest, it was okay for people to bathe naked
in our beloved river, Dāmboviţa.

It is no wonder that the Russians don't like
us: we had 11 battles in 300 years (even more than between the French and the
British). Not counting the Crimean War where we helped the British and the
French to beat them by dying instead of their soldiers; we were usually on the
losing side and once, the mighty Russian Army was so close to the capital,
Istanbul, that they could smell the foul stench of Bosphorus (maybe that is why
they left at all...).
While we were
in the Museum of Artillery in St.Petersburg, I have seen a painting about one
of these battles. The opposing side to the
handsome russians is definitely the Turks (it is clear from their fes
and thick moustaches). One of these poor guys may be one of our ancestors...
