Thank you for reading out my letter in the mailbag program. I did enjoy two features covered during April in particular, the one about the Orthodox Easter in Sunday Studio on the 12th. I had always wondered why the Orthodox Easter was held later than the Catholic one, Id never realised it was all connected to the Moon. The other feature I was really interested in was the one about buses in Romania. This is something that I have an interest in over here, and enjoy photographing them, particularly the older, ‘heritage types. Its always nice to learn about something you didnt know anything about before.
(Alan Gale of Whitworth, Lancashire)
As always, I found the programs very interesting and enjoyable. I particularly liked learning about the Iulia Hasdeu castle. Unfortunately I missed the opportunity to enter the Black Sea competition, but as I am currently planning a holiday for later this year, I think I may pay a visit to Bucharest to learn about Romanias history and culture.
(Conor Farrell of Ardee, Ireland)
“I shall be visiting Bucharest between May 11th and 22nd, would it be possible to visit the radio station whilst in Bucharest?
(Michael Whing of Great Britain)
“Expat in Romania spotlighted Mariana Castro and Argentinean tango. This was very interesting.
(Richard Nowak of Fort Pierce, Florida, the US)
“As always I enjoyed your broadcast. It is extremely varied, including all kinds of topics. I suppose I shall have to take part in your contest, as Timisoara is a city I would like to visit one day. You have talked extensively about this city in the past, as I recognised many of the details given.
(Christer Brunstrom, Halmstad, Sweden)
I very much like to listen to the program. I enjoy hearing the news and music from your part of the world.
(Mr Michael Brandt of Golconda, Illinois, the US)
“As always, your feature programs were very informative and entertaining. I listened with great interest to Business Club. It is great that Romania now produces its own strawberries. In Florida, this fruit is our second highest one produced, next to oranges.
(Tim Marecki of Crystal River, Florida, the US)
“I write to you while listening to your English language broadcast. As usual, your signal and sound quality are amazing in my corner of the North American continent. I imagine spring must be well under way and it must be looking like summer in Bucharest. In Ottawa, the temperatures soared to plus 18 degrees C. Everyone was outside this weekend without their winter coats. Restaurants had their patio tables and chairs on the streets, as if we were trying to convince ourselves that summer, not spring was almost upon us. Spring also means ice hockey championships on tv for two months in Canada. Is ice hockey at last a bit popular in Romania, or is it a sport very few people play in Romania? I imagine every town in your country has a soccer pitch, but how popular is ice skating or skating rinks in Romania?
(Robert Gauvin of Ottawa, Canada)
I like clear sky without clouds and a spring breeze. How about you in Romania? I am happy to learn that your station is now active in the 13m band.
(Hiroyuki Ogasawara of Otawara, Tochigi, Japan)
