A girl from America, a girl from France, a boy from England and a boy from Australia are sitting around a restaurant table in Poland. How much will they tip?

The girl from France: “No way, I’m not leaving 10%, the service was terrible.”
The girl from America: “Whoa, I was planning to leave 20%!”

“Where would Kiwis be without the local dairy? Certainly situations such as running out of the milk needed for the perfect cup of tea or not having enough snacks to share while watching a film on TV could get quite hairy.”
Three supporters of Romanian gymnastics have met online and started a forum which has grown to change itself into a real blog – Fangymnastics. It’s now an important and useful database with updated information from gymnastics, for all those interested in this sport.
So, if you want to know what are the successors of Nadia Comaneci and Dan Grecu doing, you will find here the latest news about the members of the national teams, both junior and senior, but also interviews, photos, a collection of videos from varoius competitions and other related topics about Romanian gymnastics.
