Great post @joythewanderer.
Thank you for visiting Romania.

"Many Romanian old houses are extremely low build. Maybe I'm too tall... I found it interesting that I always needed to bow in order to enter the houses."

The reason why the houses are extremely low build is because in winter it used to be really cold in romania and we used the stove to get warm, and if the house was low build it was easier to warm it because there was less space to warm.
