As a Romanian, "Another day another Lei" caught me off 💀💀

The only problem come when you're a Romanian citizen and you don't earn 100 or 200 lei/day of work. The prices in Romania seems low just compared with other currencies. But, as a born and rase Bucharest citizen, I really miss Bucharest sometimes.

As a romanian, I can confirm the city is very affordable, but only if you have an EU Grade salary. People earn between $350 and $1000 per month after taxes and stuff. About 10% earn more than that. So you can see why the prices are cheap.

There are very cheap alternatives to what you've got. For example, 100 lei can be equal to 1 week of great and consistent homecooked meals.

Also, at the metro station, most likely you walked past a Fornetti. They sell a 250 ml of coffee with optional milk for about 3 lei.

The city center restaurants is more expensive than other restaurants. For example, you get a huge meal with french fries, grilled chicken breast and salad for 30 lei from Socului Kebap.

The true problem here isn't the cost of food or the cost of bills, but the cost of rent and mortgages.

I always recommend freelancers and people that don't rely on living in a particular city to move to Bucharest. For example, I earn $2000. I love a very luxurious life, just because everything is cheap.

It's so cool to see how other people can enjoy the things that are simple for us, Romanians! I subbed for this exact video.

Welcome in Romania, i live here and i just love to see the Mountains, is so chill and i love that.

5:53 I was born and live in Bucharest and yes, having many parks I think is Bucharest's best aspect. You should have come in late spring or summer, when the parks are really green and lush with vegetation! Early March is still winter for us.

Romania in general is quite cool in special for tourism which to be honest I think it's the main key of the country since we have plenty of nice places that allow most of the tourists to enjoy them like countrysides, stories. 22.90$ doesn't seem much in dollars but for the Romanian currency, 100 Lei can do you a nice job for the day, in special if you choose other cities as well that are smaller. Bucharest is such a great place but it's a bit more expensive than the usual city - it and Cluj being the most expensive. You might enjoy the landscape "Bridge of God" is something really cool, Sphinx on Bucegi and the mountains in general are amazing, it make you feel like you are in nature.

Its nice to see people actually enjoy the country i live in. Many romanians get excited when someone from a different country talks about Romania, they like being noticed

[pifer]

Being a possible future Romanian citizen coming all the way from America. This video really makes me find the best in the world and i cant say thank you enough for the way you show the area greatly. I cant wait to see it all for my self.

[pepsi-max.]

When I clicked on the video I thought you guys were Romanian . I'm very happy to see people from other countries visiting Romania because it's fun meeting other people except for Romanians . Hope you guys like it here and warm welcomes.💞💞💞

Come back and visit each season of the year. You will discover a new city each time. Bucharest is a paradox city, Old-new, same-different and love-hate it.... Finally, you'll cannot live elsewhere even if you'll want to runaway ... This feeling I got only in Paris and Istanbul.

Your channel is way better than I thought before watching the video. You actually deserve more subscribers than you actually have. Thank you for visiting Romania!

[alexcolfescu]

Awesome video guys! Local guy here and I really enjoy how you spent the day and how you went explored. Bucharest is a really nice town and I encourage everybody who comes to visit to go and "get lost" in it :D

[Alen.mitwali]

I went to Romania Bucharest last month and have decided to move there the people have a lot of respect and are well educated and prices are still cheap for food house e.g.

[livinginromania]

Another interesting video. Good job guys. Keep it up.

Life in Romania is better than you would think from the statistics. This is because 96.4% of Romanians are homeowners and do not pay rent. We are on the 1st place in Europe in terms of percentage.
