ROMANIA
We're going to take a look at this beautiful country, located in the continent of Europe. It has a long and rich history and it’s known for the remarkable landscapes and many castles.
Romania covers 229,891 square kilometers of land and 8500 square kilometers of water, making it the 83rd largest nation in the world.
From Dracula to an inexpensive self-driving car and even the heaviest building on the planet, let’s see some amazing stuff about Romania.
Let's talk money baby !

The very first awesome fact: Romania is Europe’s richest country in gold resources. So, it means it’s one of the richest countries in Europe ? Weeeell…no. It’s not the richest, nor the poorest. Things are a bit more complicated than you think and I’m sure you won’t find this information I’m going to tell on anyone else's article, so PAY ATTENTION to this one.
On the internet, it is said that people living in Romania, don’t have the knowledge to extract the enormous quantity of gold, but that’s very wrong. They have gold mines 3000 years old and people living here know how to extract the gold, they pose knowledge and the skills, needed for that, but the problem is that this gold is wanted by other countries as Canada, USA, Germany, France and many more. The international powers won’t allow us to extract it, because we will become very rich and they are trying to take it away using methods which will ruin the zone where the gold is located. If we allow that, all life around that area dies and no one wants that.
Location: Rosia Montana ( the area where the enormous quantity of gold is located )
Quick list of some random awesome facts !

Pfuff ! Ok….That was a quick list of some random stuff, but don’t leave, because I have many more to tell you.
That's one hell of a building !
ROMANIA boasts the world’s largest administrative building ! Built by former Romanian dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu, Bucharest’s Palace of Parliament – also known as the People’s House – is the largest, heaviest and most expensive civil administration building ON THE PLANET ! It’s the second largest administrative building, after Pentagon in the United States, but it’s the largest civil administrative building on the planet. It has an enormous area of 365 000 square meters and it weights around 4 billions kg, making it the heaviest building in the world. The Palace conceals a labyrinth of dusty, now-unused tunnels beneath its foundation.

TESLA ? What?!
I bet you all know Tesla and I know that you want a model S, but few afford to buy one, because it’s pretty expensive. . However, a 19 years old Romanian student, named Ionut Budisteanu, designed an AI system to drive your car while you sit there, chill and maybe write on STEEMIT :) ... and the system costs around 4000 bucks.
Isn’t that AMAZING ? He won first place at Intel’s International Science and Engineering Fair for his efforts. His version of AI uses webcams and his invention managed to complete 47 out of 50 trials without incident. The 3 failed trials can be easily overcome with better cameras resolution
Well ?!
Well, I think that's enough for today. I'm looking at this post and I need to scroll a lot to reach its beginning.
If this goes well, a second part will be posted soon.
We all need people who will give us feedback. That's how we improve

PS: And ... don't forget ! I need your feedback ! THANKS STEEMIANS !
