which
has over 300 natural lakes
is one of the oldest countries in Europe

sits on the Black Sea to the East and the Danube to the North
offers white-sand beaches, mystic mountains, and ancient towns
has the Balkan range, which is part of the Alpine-Himalayan chain
has 378 kilometres of Black Sea coast. The Black Sea is closed and
non-tidal, and has 90% anoxic water
has a moderate continental climate: winters (November to February)
are cold and dry, temperatures reach -10
is the place where in dark, empty apartments the people you love
live inside mirrors
