Alcohol.

Some foreigners are surprised by the Danish youth's use of alcohol and that they really do party on until morning.
Do not ever feel obligated to drink more than you wish to!
Most folk high schools have an alcohol policy and some schools forbid the use of alcohol during weekdays.
However the minimum age to buy tobacco is 18 years and to drive a car and get a vailddriving license is 18 years or older.
 



Hygge(Cosy) 

 'Hygge' is an important element of the Danish culture. The word is difficult to translate, but those seeking to grasp its meaning will quickly realize that it is closely associated with having a good time together with friends or family and with eating and drinking.
 
Humor
 
Humor is another essential element. To many Danes, humor and irony are closely linked. Understanding this irony is an important part of understanding the Danish mentality.You might sometimes find that it is easy to misunderstand Danes during a conversation due to the excessive use of irony. In those situations, you should not be afraid to ask.Self-irony is also a big part of the Danish mentality, so if you feel that a Danish person might be trying to make fun of you, it is most likely not the case at all. In these situations, you also should not be afraid to ask either, and hopefully, you will be able to laugh at the situation.

At first, in the space bordered by the Black Sea in South-East, the future Russian Empire at the North, the plain known as Panonia at West and the Danube river at the South, were the Daccians. Our ancestors, which arised the curiosity of the Roman Empire, which was in full expansion.

So, as how the Romanians came to be.

During the Roman Emperor Traian reign, there were two wars which led to the birth of Romanian people.

As Decebal, the leader of the Daccians, became a threat for the Roman Empire, Traian decided to declare war against Daccians. After a hard battle, with many casualties, a peace treaty was signed between Decebal and Traian, with the purpose to fortify the Daccians against further Northern invasions. But as Decebal used this oportunity to strenghten the people against the Roman, the second war, and the one that concluded the birth of Romanian people, emerged.

After the peace treaty failed, the Romans marched once again against the Daccians, this time for the final time. Following the heavy battles, and the fall of the Dacia capital, Sarmisegetuza, Decebal fled to the mountains, where he commited suicide, rather than to be captured by the Roman pursuers. 

Following this war, Dacia became a Roman province, lead by the Emperor, through a local governor.

Vlad Tepes, or Dracul, as he was borned, meaning the Dragon, was a Romanian leader, who ruled over Wallachia during XV century. 

Were did he took the name "Tepes" would you ask?

Well, during his ruling time, he was known as a honest lord, who didn't accepted the existence of thieves, beggars or corrupt officials, knew as "Boieri". So, the usual punishment for those crimes, were the cutting of the hand which commited the crime. And based on the severity of other crimes, punishment would have gone as further as the dismemberment of the guilty one.

But his favorite punishment, and the one that got his name, was impaling. Usually the one receiving this punishment were the so-called "Boieri" and the enemies.

And so, inspired by Vlad Tepes bloodthirst, and cruel punishments, Bram Stoker wrote the famous novel Dracula, which became a legend all over the world.
