When I was working in the states a couple of years ago we had Romanian lads working the harvest season with us.
Rough and earthy types mostly, Slavic people and a Roma guy.
Most were ok folks and helpful too!
Well anyway two of them had never fly-fished before, but bought rods and tackle on hearing of a lake nearby to the farm we worked at.
After about an hour of fishing in the nearby lake, they'd caught a pair of fish
I was most impressed by their 'drive' on doing something they'd not done before.
As the season was coming to an end I got friendly with one of them who told me he was quitting the harvest work in the US and getting into Bee-Keeping back in Romania!
