Romania

I have Romanian ancestry. Specifically, we were from Transylvania, which I understand no longer exists.

lolz..transylvania is apart of romania

I am from Romania,too!!!:)Indeed is a beautiful country...blessed be!!!

I'm from romania too. it's a great country with awsome views and people, with great legends and myths indeed. worst part of the myth side, is that few are passing it further. i always dreamt to take a recorder and walk the old villeges from mountains, were the old people still remember stories to chill the bones or warm thy souls. and record them and share there stories. yeah, that would be cool

So Dracula was a real,historical, figure named Vlad?
And here I was thinking that Dracula was a fictional novel written by the Irish author Bram Stoker.

actually Dracula is a fictional character from Bram Stoker's novel. he just was inspired by the ruler of Valahia(south part of Romania now) Vlad epe(Vlad the Impaler). he had the habbit to impale people as death sentance. from this habbit he gained the name the Impaler and was chosed as inspiration for Dracula. from what i know, everithing else about him are fantasies.

I tipped Vlad Tepes with diacritics, but they were ignored

Of course Dracula is fiction! Even the name isn't the original.Stoker first named his character Count Alucard; but then the name sounded more "mystifying" spelt the other way around.So it became Count Dracula.
In any case, this thread is five years old!
