Green Romanians

I am green. And I am not a Martian. Nor am I sick, or painted. I'm just green. I am a Green Romanian. If you are Romanian, you surely know what "romƒn verde" means. If you're not 'one of ours' ("unul de-ai nostri"- this is how Green Romanians speak.) you are happy enough to stay away from that situation.
But, because I am a real Romanian, I love beeing green and I write you this letter to pay my tribute to your amazing discovery - mint rubbing, the freshest approach of life.
Oh, what a great discovery! Oh, what an ancient and wide culture! Oh, what a pride to be part of such a smart, brave and inventive people! And oh, what a green person I became by rubbing the mint all my life! Yes, dear reader. I'm typing this words with green fingers: it's with them I rub the mint. My lips are green, too: it's mint I ate from my mother's breasts (she rubbed it first, of course, or my father did, I don't remember.) All I see is mint, so my eyes are green. I have no hair, but if I had some, I'm sure it would have been green. I'm green from head to toes. Even my feet are green: all my roads take me to large fields of mint, ready to be rubbed, right on the spot (any harvesting would be a denial of our way of life, wouldn't it?).


It's a green life, in a green country. I propose the next motto to your page, to our page: "I'm green and I say it loud/ I rub it and I'm proud!". Or, maybe it sounds better that way: "Rub it and say it loud: I'm green and I'm proud!". What do you think? Good luck, Green Romanians! (Sam)
