English term or phrase: Salut
We are working on a project where a character is visiting many different countries in the world. We're introducing the countries with a short line of copy starting with an official greeting of the country - i.e. for France, he'll say "Bonjour I'm in France..."

We are trying to find a generic greeting for Romania that is authentic but this seems to be quite open to debate. So we would like the greeting we've found confirmed accurate or if there is a better suggestions.

salut
Bună, sunt în România!


Explanation:
Salut mi se pare un pic băieţesc, poate e doar impresia mea. 'Bună' pare mai neutru si se foloseste mai des.
Bună, sunt în România!

'Salut' seems to me a bit masculine, it might be just my impression. 'Bună' is a more neutral greeting, and very widespread.
