Ifrim Alexia, 16 years old. “I live in Asau Bacau Romania! I am a big fan of Romanian traditions, a lover of the bear game, a tradition specific to the area! I am part of Gavrila's Bear Fog, the first fog that appeared, the fog that amazes and fascinates at all the festivals it participates in every time! We love our country and traditions! We are always asked if the skin is heavy, us being girls, it is true, but the sensation and pleasure we have makes us forget this aspect!”
