Au trecut aproape 5 luni de c\u00e2nd am p\u0103r\u0103sit micul meu cocon francez \u0219i iat\u0103-m\u0103 aici, \u00een Rom\u00e2nia, mai exact \u00een Prahova, \u00een satele Schiule\u0219ti \u0219i Izvoaerele. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pe 11 octombrie 2021 (ziua plec\u0103rii mele), mi-am luat cu mine pa\u0219aportul, hainele, calculatorul, dar \u0219i prejudec\u0103\u021bile, \u00eentreb\u0103rile \u0219i a\u0219tept\u0103rile legate de aceast\u0103 \u021bar\u0103 str\u0103in\u0103. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen acest articol ve\u021bi descoperi prejudec\u0103\u021bile care m-au animat, dac\u0103 s-au adeverit sau nu, \u0219i ce surprize \u00eei aduce Rom\u00e2nia unei fran\u021buzoaice \u00een drum spre o misiune a Corpului European de Solidaritate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen vara anului 2021, am primit propunerea de a desf\u0103\u0219ura o misiune de voluntariat \u00een Curba de Cultur\u0103 \u00eentr-un sat numit Izvoaerle din Rom\u00e2nia. \u00cen descriere, \u00een aceast\u0103 misiune era scris s\u0103 creez activit\u0103\u021bi pentru tineri (\u00eentre 13 \u0219i 17 ani) \u00eentr-un centru de tineret, dar \u0219i \u00een \u0219coli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am avut o mare pasiune pentru acest lucru, dar din p\u0103cate nu \u0219i pentru \u021bar\u0103, pentru care aveam o mul\u021bime de prejudec\u0103\u021bi pe care le ve\u021bi descoperi chiar acum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Rom\u00e2nia este o \u021bar\u0103 acoperit\u0103 de c\u00e2mpii, f\u0103r\u0103 ora\u0219e mari <\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Ei bine, po\u021bi s\u0103 o spui, m-am \u00een\u0219elat complet….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Chiar dac\u0103 Rom\u00e2nia nu este o \u021bar\u0103 despre care s\u0103 \u0219tim prea multe \u00een Fran\u021ba, nu este o \u021bar\u0103 ce are doar c\u00e2mpuri… \u00centr-adev\u0103r, exist\u0103 c\u00e2teva ora\u0219e mari, precum Bra\u0219ov, Sibiu, Timi\u0219oara, care sunt pur \u0219i simplu frumoase, pline de culoare \u0219i cu un farmec de necontestat, care sunt un “must do”. Exist\u0103, de asemenea, ca \u00een orice \u021bar\u0103, sate ceva mai retrase, cum ar fi Izvoaerle, dar care sunt la fel de frumoase datorit\u0103 panoramei asupra mun\u021bilor, a animalelor \u0219i a plimb\u0103rilor lungi \u00een leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu natura pe care le po\u021bi face \u00een zon\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. Rom\u00e2nii sunt romii <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u00cen Fran\u021ba, mul\u021bi oameni \u00eei confund\u0103 pe rom\u00e2ni cu romii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u00cen Rom\u00e2nia, romii reprezint\u0103 doar o minoritate etnic\u0103 de aproximativ 2 milioane de persoane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Rom\u00e2nii sunt oameni foarte dr\u0103gu\u021bi \u0219i mai ales curio\u0219i s\u0103 cunoasc\u0103 str\u0103ini. Ei vor fi foarte bucuro\u0219i s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 cu dumneavoastr\u0103 \u0219i dac\u0103 ve\u021bi \u00eencerca s\u0103 vorbi\u021bi limba lor, chiar dac\u0103 nu o cunoa\u0219te\u021bi perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. M\u00e2ncarea pe care o voi m\u00e2nca va fi doar tradi\u021bional\u0103 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Aceast\u0103 prejudecat\u0103 a fost cea \u00een care am crezut cel mai mult \u00eenainte de a ajunge aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u00centr-adev\u0103r, \u00eenainte de a pleca m-am bucurat de pr\u0103jituri, burgeri, cartofi pr\u0103ji\u021bi \u0219i restaurante, deoarece eram sigur\u0103 c\u0103 nu voi g\u0103si nimic aici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Am fost profund uimit\u0103 c\u00e2nd am v\u0103zut toate pr\u0103jiturile mele preferate pe rafturile supermarketurilor, dar \u0219i restaurante cu m\u00e2ncare occidental\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Dar, de c\u00e2nd am sosit, m\u0103 bucur mai mult de m\u00e2ncarea tipic\u0103 dec\u00e2t cea cu care sunt obi\u0219nuit\u0103 \u00een Fran\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      4. Temperaturile de iarn\u0103 vor fi aproximativ la fel ca \u00een Fran\u021ba<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Locuind \u00een Lille, un ora\u0219 situat \u00een nordul Fran\u021bei, unde ploaia este aproape prezent\u0103, iar iarna temperaturile sunt sc\u0103zute, am crezut c\u0103 sunt preg\u0103tit\u0103 s\u0103 fac fa\u021b\u0103 vremii din Rom\u00e2nia, care, pentru mine, ar fi fost similar\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Acum pot spune c\u0103 nu, iarna din Lille \u0219i iarna din Rom\u00e2nia nu seam\u0103n\u0103… Evita\u021bi s\u0103 proceda\u021bi ca mine, cu pulovere dr\u0103gu\u021be, \u0219osete dr\u0103gu\u021be \u0219i blugi la \u00eent\u00e2mplare, dar paria\u021bi mai mult pe haine termice, un lot mare de \u0219osete c\u0103lduroase \u0219i o p\u0103l\u0103rie dr\u0103gu\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u00cen concluzie, aceste prejudec\u0103\u021bi nu mai sunt, desigur, \u00een mintea mea, iar \u00een momentul de fa\u021b\u0103 mi-e pu\u021bin ru\u0219ine c\u0103 am crezut vreodat\u0103 aceste lucruri… Faptul c\u0103 tr\u0103iesc \u00een Rom\u00e2nia, \u0219i mai ales la \u021bar\u0103, \u00eemi permite s\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b \u0219i s\u0103 descop\u0103r lucruri pe care nu le po\u021bi g\u0103si \u00een Fran\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Experien\u021ba mea de voluntariat este super \u00eembog\u0103\u021bitoare \u0219i, fiind abia la jum\u0103tatea ei, sunt sigur\u0103 c\u0103 Rom\u00e2nia are \u00een continuare nenum\u0103rate secrete de dezv\u0103luit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      ———————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It’s been almost 5 months since I left my little French cocoon and that I am here, in Romania, more precisely in the Prahova region, in the villages of Schiulesti and Izvoaerele.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      On October 11, 2021 (the day of my departure), I took with me my passport, my clothes, my computer but also prejudices, questions and expectations about this foreign country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In this article you will discover the prejudices that animated me, whether they have come true or not, and what kind of surprises Romania brings to a French woman on her way to a European Solidarity Corps mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      In the summer of 2021, I received the proposal to carry out a volunteering mission in Curba de Cultura in a village called Izvoaerle in Romania. In the description, this mission was written to create activities for young people (between 13 and 17 years old) in a youth centre but also in schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I had a huge crush on the mission but unfortunately not on the country, for which I had a lot of prejudices that you will discover right now.null<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1.Romania is a country covered with fields, without big cities <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Well, you can say it, I was completely wrong….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Even if Romania is not a country we know much about in France, it is not a country with only fields… Indeed, there are several big cities like Brasov, Sibiu, Timisoara which are just beautiful, with colour and an undeniable charm that are a “must do”. There are also, as in any country, villages that are a bit more secluded, like Izvoaerle, but which are just as beautiful thanks to  their panorama on the mountains, the animals and the long walks in connection with the nature that you can do on the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Don’t forget to take a camera and good walking shoes to enjoy the surroundings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      2. The Romanians are the Roma <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In France, many people confuse the Romanians with the Roma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In Romania, the Roma are only an ethnic minority of about 2 million people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Romanians are very nice people and especially curious to meet foreigners. They will be very happy to talk to you, and if you try to speak their language even if you don\u2019t know it perfectly well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. The food I will eat will only be traditional <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This prejudice was the one I believed in the most before I arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Indeed, before I left I enjoyed cookies, burgers, fries and restaurants as I was sure I would not find any here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What was my amazement when I saw all my favorite cakes in the supermarket shelves, but also restaurants with occidental food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But since my arrival, I enjoy more typical food than the food I am used to in France<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      4. Winter temperatures will be about the same as in France<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Living in Lille, a city located in the north of France where the rain is almost present and the temperatures are low in winter, I thought I was ready to face the Romanian weather which, for me, would be similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I can say now that, no, winter in Lille and winter in Romania are not similar… Avoid like me to take nice little jumpers, nice little socks and random jeans but bet more on thermal clothes, a big batch of warm socks and a nice little hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To conclude, these prejudices are of course no longer in my mind, and at the moment I am a bit ashamed of having ever thought that… Living in Romania, and more particularly in a countryside, allows me to learn and discover things that one cannot find in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      My volunteering experience is super enriching, and being only half way through it, I am sure that Romania has not yet finished giving me all its secrets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
