Hi there,
My husband has been offered a long term job in Constana and I am starting to do some research before we make the final decision.
Is there anyone out there that can offer me some advice? We have a 3 and 1 year old and wondering if there will be much for them to do, i.e playgroups/mums groups etc. Is it a kid friendly place.
Also, is it easy to meet English speaking mums?
I'm worried that we will be bored silly while my husband is busy working.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I lived in Romania for two years and am married to a Romanian (I am a Canadian male).
I am moving back to Romania (Cluj) in January.
While I was there I worked at an Intenational private school in Bucuresti. It was 4 year olds and up to grade three. The kids came from all over the world and it didnt matter what language they spoke. This would be a good start for you. You will meet lots of expat parents and there will be lots to do. Constanta was a nice city and I found the people in Romania evrywhere friendly (and not speaking Romanian for me was not a problem, I never did learn). The area around Constanta and the beach at Mamia (sp?) if great. The black mud beaches are near as is the delta of the Danube River which is beautiful and protected by UNESCO (I think).
You will have a great time and this is the most valuable experience you can give your children (better than any school).
Cheers,
Ted

Hello Smiffi,

I live in Constanta and I'm romanian too. I was born and raised here. I'm mother of 16months years old girl and I have to say that in Constanta are alot of playgroon inside for kids for winter time, well furnished with toys and for parents place. For hot season you might go with your childs in park. Our mayor furnished the park with all kinds of slides and swings, a large area to spent time with your kid and to het fresh air. We have also an Acqua Park in Mamaia (is 5 min from Constanta, are conected) which operate only on summer time. Great fun for kids! We have 3-4 Malls for mummy's shopping :) covered, with all international wellknown company such as: ZARA, Massimo Dutti, etc. For sure you'll never get bored. We also have great restaurant, italian, french, chinees, to pleased all taste. There are also private kindergarten for your babys, nice and modern with well trained employees whom take care great your kids.
The Black Sea is not a beautiful Sea, that's why they called this way, is not like Mediterranean one., but is OK. MAybe once we can meet eachother with our babys and I'll show you the city.
Today when I'm writting, is snowing. Are 2 days now that is snowing, so Great fun for little ones.
