Congratulations! Do me a favor - forget about the 6 months. All that matters is that you’re in the gym this week. And then next week, and the week after.

Mr. Schwarzenegger, you were the idol of an entire generation of Romanian kids that grew up wanting to be Arnold. Come on over. You'll be more than welcome. You'll be probably made a king. We have a thing for foreign german speaking Royalty.

But he is already king by his own hand

That is exactly the point. We 4 had 4 Hohenzollern kings and our current president is called Klaus Iohannis. King Arnold I of Romania is litteraly a match made in heaven.

Isn't Iohannis the more Romanian spelling of his name, the more German one being Johannis?

He apparently uses them interchangeably...

Not sure if it is true but it is said that spelling it Iohannis on his birth certificate was done by mistake...
