I live in a little town called Gura Humorului, situated in Suceava county. Its name comes from the river confluence between Moldavia River and the Humor Brook. One legend says the Tartars had given the name of this little river; they named it “Homor” which in their language meant “fast”. In our town there are: a museum, three schools, a high school, a hospital, a fire station, a police station, churches, markets, a Town Hall, swimming pools, parks, etc. People live in blocks of flats as well as in houses. In 2011 there were about 13000 inhabitants. On our roads there still can be seen wooden carts pulled by one or two horses; they are usually used by peasants. A railway crosses our town linking the east part of our country with the west one. Not very far from the center tourists can visit The Holy Voronet Monastery. If you want, you can see all our beautiful places from the top of ”Şoimu” Slope. I really like my town! Robert- cl. III A Less
