Romania Visa for Indians – All the best!
My two brief interactions with the Visa Officer Mihai Secere left me wondering if he was a white supremacist. I also wondered if Romania Embassy has deliberately chosen the current Application Form Submission process just to discourage Indian Tourists from visiting Romania. It also struck me that perhaps this process could be the reason why VFS Global doesn't offer the Romania Visa service anymore. - Romania Visa for Indians - All the best!

Furthermore, an average bloke like me has limited, if any, understanding of complexities of calorie intake or outgo, heart rate, adequate rest, etc. More than anything, this lack of understanding always, I repeat, always leaves you worried about your general well-being; even more so, during your travels. - Travel Fitness at Fifty Five - Travelure ©
