As a romanian, I have to say, it is breathtaking. We do have our fair share of „bad apples”, and, as with every ex-communist country, we are still on the poorer side of things, but things improve every day and we are here what they call the Green Heart of Europe. You can find a lot of UNESCO heritage sites, from churches and castles to woodlands and breathtaking scenery. Cheap and delicious food, all kind of accomodation, from really traditional, to ultramodern and friendly people (most of us).

Where's Fred's ascot though?

The last 5 years of my English lit teaching, I went entirely to public domain books on Kindle. Cost of books for a basic Intro course went from $85 to $12. Cost for my English grad students went from $600 to $45. Got heat from bookstore & admin. Told them to mind their own business. I was tenured. Now retired Emeritus.
That's when you need to hire Liam Neeson. (He has a particular set of skills, I hear)

No. It doesn't.

Unless you want your subject to look like a full moon or some other distorted abomination, you WANT to shoot portraits with a (short - mid) telephoto, or at least a normal, rather than a wide.

Meowton Mewsk, my hair is awful with heat treatment and it's also that awkward middle ground in between straight and slightly wavy, so I roll it in a twisted cinnabon overnight, then put in a tiny bit of curling cream in the morning, and then it's a good amount of beachy-wavy throughout the day. You could try that if it's long enough, and if you like that look, of course :)

This is quite interesting!

This is a FISH knife.... You know, to eat fish. Not disgusting smudge from a jar. And considering I'm right handed, but hold my fork and knife inversely, this is for me too bent in the wrong direction. Still I've been managing to do that for about 50 years.
