Travel Documentary Romania. 🇷🇴 Part 1: Transylvania from its known & little known side!

– Everyone knows Dracula's castle. But did you know that Count Dracula and his castle are just a fiction cannibalized by the Romanian Tourist Office?

My fascination with Romania started with videos like this about the beauty and peaceful nature of the rural areas. Their unique food, music and culture is fascinating.

Eric Donaldson said in his song the land of my birth "though some people say we are poor, but the progress you make my friend is not always how rich you are".

My daughter in-law a is a Romanian medical doctor, a resident cardiologist.

A very, very beautiful lady, she has been on maternity leave with pay for a year now and she is still entitled to another year of maternity leave to spend with my grandson.

My grandson receives an allowance monthly from the government as a citizen.

He will go to school virtually free to PhD level. Fees for citizens are very minimal.

THAT IS SOCIAL WEALTH.

My son had his PhD in computer science in Lasi one of the best Universities. He did masters in Politechnica Bucharest one of the best Universities in Europe.

Romania has 4G network in most parts.

Accomodation is relatively cheap and beautiful.

My children have lived in the USA but they prefer Romania.

I will love to have a country home in rural Romania for my retirement.

Romania should not be compared to any country.

Romania is unique and rich in history, tradition, architecture and social responsibility.

That is some unique wealth very few countries can boast of.
Thanks for your video.

I'm so lucky that I am born and live here in Transilvania, I simply cannot leave this place even if I have the posibility, I was in Portugal but could not survive without being depressed and missing my motherland and my mother language .

[giacomoredditi]

Tutta la Romania e' bellissima ma la Transilvania ti lascia senza fiato❤️

Romania is my favorite country in Europe and Brasov is my favorite city in Romania. Too many things to see and do when visiting and even 1 month is not long enough. Brasov is right in the middle of country and everything else is only a few hours away.

1. I'm tired of foreigners' old obsessions about poverty. I haven't watched the video on Sicily (which is poorer than Romania), but I am curious if there is something about poverty there. We're not a poor country. In fact, our economy has been booming for the last 20 years and it's going to catch up with the West pretty soon. Yes, we are not Germany, but... according to Eurostat, the purchasing power sits at 74% of the EU's average; the median wage calculated in PPP is higher than in Portugal and Greece; there are more working opportunities here than in many of the Western countries because our economy is far more dynamic, this is why we are able to import around 150k foreign workers/year from all over the world and still increasing. 2. I'm tired of the obsession with our gypsy minority and showing them riding carts on the streets. I never see people talking about the tons of marginalized minorities when vloggers travel to France or Spain for example. But Romanian gypsies are ALWAYS included in vlogs or documentaries. WHY?!?!? The fact that they don't work does not imply people discriminate against them. 3. I was mad when you talked about Schengen because it sounded like you admitted Austria's reason as being right. Austria was heavily criticized by the EU and there is clear proof Romania is NOT a route for illegal immigration. Anyway... I felt bad watching this otherwise interesting video.

Also, the gipsyies are not so nice as you describe them. Most of them get financial help from the state and some of them even get accomodation but still choose to live in poverty because this is their lifestyle. Most of them are a desease for our country, just few of them are really nice and try to exceed their situation.

Transilvania is a very unique region ❤
I love România, greetings from an Argentinian imigrant ❤

[alexandruion]

You explained perfectly, congratulations, Romania is truly a wonderful country. I also visited Romania and I was speechless with the beauty of Romania and the landscapes.Unique and I really miss Romania I would visit Romania many more times a year ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰

[neculaionut]

Actually, the migration reason that was raised by Austria is false, and you should not promote false content on your youtube channel. You should check the information before you promote it!

[jasonpetersharpe]

I will always have a fondness and great regard for Romania 🇷🇴. Effected me deeply!

[fritzwacker]

I can confirm all in this video. Well done. I immigrated from Munich to Romania 6 years ago doe to the chaotic policy in Germany.🥰

[covaciumarius]

Lovely video but I would like to point out that roma people who originate from northern india are not often discriminated against by romanians but because they are born in poverty, lack education and encouragement from parents to attend school they don't move forward. Their culture is based on working metals, music and day labour even in UK, Ireland gypsies (travelers) share the same labouring mentality instead of getting education and they live somehow in isolation from the british. It's just how their culture is.

[khansab]

Romania is a very dear country to me in this world. I like Romania's nature, beautiful people and people's behavior

[nikolakrivokapic]

I been there 2 months ago Transilvania, Bucharest and Costanca.I was positive surprised how Romania is beautiful.

Am vazut amândouă video filmate in România, vad ca fata de alti vloguri au încercat sa arate partea saraca a romaniei, trist dar na nu ma ascund, asta este realitatea, insa tin sa precizez ca eu locuiesc la ei in țară, locuiesc in Elveția si vreau sa zic ca centrul din Oradea sau chiar Timișoara este de o suta de ori mai frumos decat centrul din Zürich! Nu au filmat nici un centru din România, doar la periferiile orașelor si in zonele cele mai sarace din România! Pe linga faptul ca atatea castele si locuri superbe, unele unice in lume, cum ar fi Delta sau defileul dunarii, salinele, sa nu zic de Sighișoara! Ori sunt prost informații, ori au vrut sa defaimeze România! Locuri sarace sunt peste tot in lume si mizerie, găsești chiar in Zürich, sau Luzern, Genf sau Basel ! Have a fun

[witchy]

I loved watching this so much, thanks for sharing the beauty of Romania, it's a country I must visit!

[romanianmike]

I miss Romania!!! So beautiful!!! Thank you for the video

[andreahoehmann]

Essen, Musik, Sprache, Kultur, freundliche Menschen - mein liebstes Reiseland! Hab ich leider erst vor 6 Jahren entdeckt.

[somarm]

Romania is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, I'm one of the applicants to the Romanian scholarship specifically in the University of Transylvania Brasov. I truly wish and hope I get it. Thank you for this video it's amazing.

[tortellinifettuccine]

Such a beautiful country, and the production quality does it justice! Keep up the good work guys!
