You really managed to capture the soul of Romania. Congrats for the video!

[slavkopolskiperun]

I love Romania and Romanians, the most friendly people in the Europe. From Poland-Warsaw.

[orlandotudor]

I'm sure it was hard, but you really managed to pass through and avoid the best parts of the country, our cities, and our attractions and instead headed straight for gypsies, stray dogs in the countryside, and some of the nation's most destitute people in some of our poorest areas. If this video was representative of Romania, you'd imagine we're a nation of destitute gypsies (some who are soon to be rappers or manelisti), accordion players, gamblers, and old folks selling random stuff in empty markets, before going to sleep in Ferentari or our country homes where we live 8 to a bedroom next to our stray dogs.

Even with the Monastery, I'm genuinely impressed that you managed to pass through a region with a huge amount of medieval monasteries and fortresses, avoided them, and instead chose to focus on one of the most unremarkable on a remote hill. 10 mins of googling would have provided so many of stunning examples.

You filmed stray dogs, empty markets, a chapter on poverty, a chapter on Ferentari (because our most well known ghetto is of course deserving of a chapter in this tourist documentary of Romania). Then, as the cherry on top, in the thumbnail you hilariously photoshopped an image with gypsy watermelon sellers on top of an image of the People's Palace and slapped a big white "Romania" label. Its genuinely so insulting it's hard to believe it's not a parody.

I can't imagine that this had anything other than malice behind it. Please, next time, don't come.

l am from Albania l like it so much Romania ❤ Big respect for all people Romanian🇷🇴

Romania is one of the best places on earth. Welfare packages the government offers to her citizens are very good. I visited Constanta in 2012 when my son graduated from medical school.
My 3 sons got the best qualitative education from the most prestigious Universities in Romania. Education in Romania is very affordable but qualitative.
Internet connectivity is one of the best in the world even in villages.
My grandson is Romanian.
My daughter in-law is extremely beautiful, intelligent and respectful like most Romanian women.
Am Nigerian and I love rural Romania. Its like paradise.
I like their humanity and simplicity.
The Romas or gypsies have always fascinated me from childhood when they lived in caravans in different nations.
No nation is perfect.
Romania is exceptionally wonderful.
God bless Romania.

Romania 🇷🇴 is my favorite country in the world. I visited in 1997 and 1998, however I didn’t get to see all these places. Wonderful 💐 👩🏼

[smit]

Romania is on my bucket list. It's such a beautiful, unique, and peaceful country. You guys seem to so kind, sweet, genuine, adventurous, and positive humanbeings. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿💖💖😊😊

[skierskymichael]

Romania unique country, great people. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

[LiviaDuval]

Next time I go to your country I’ll make sure I point out all the poor areas and the most dangerous. PS Romania ranks higher on safety then the west.

[jurinko]

We love Romania. Good people, nice land, awesom history!! All best from Slovakia, romanian brothers.

[zoeo]

Nu m-am mai enervat si scarbit demult asa de tare!Sincer ca si romanca ma simt jignita de acest asa zis documentar!Nu asta ne reprezinta, nu asta suntem si ne-am cam plictisit de aerele astea gratuite de superioritate!E ca si cum te-ai duce la cineva in vizita si i-ai cauta in cosul de rufe murdare!

[tudorcamelia]

I am from Romania, currently living in Sibiu. You actually showed in the video the worst parts in our country. There are a lot of beautiful medieval cities, smart people, educated people etc.

[that_one_kitty]

Romania is such a beautiful country I just love it 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴

[yuksel]

I am writing from Turkey. I went and saw Romania. Romanians are wonderful people. The person who made this video is definitely a prejudiced and anti-Romanian person. She tried to present Romania as a primitive and Asian country and the Romanians as a primitive people. All the villages in the video are Gypsy villages. Likewise, people who are spoken to are gypsies, not Romanian. Supposedly there is a Romanian video, but there is no Romanian in the video. This is a disgrace.

[Nik-cgqr]

Greetings to our romanian neighbours from Bulgaria 👋

[johnkoch]

Hi I visited the last year Romania in Bucharest so beautiful city 🇷🇴🇺🇸🇬🇷❤

[Ian.]

A lot of units in those apartment buildings are renovated very nicely. I stayed in Bucharest in one for a month on holiday from Australia. Outside, the building block looked quite run down. But inside the apartment was lovely. I look forward to going back and looking around the country more.

[adrianabutmalai]

After how many gypsies I saw in this video, you would think that Romanians are half gypsies.
Yes, we also had our gypsies like all of Europe, but the last arrivals were from the camps of Nazi Germany.
Hitler gathered all the gypsies from all over Europe in the concentration camps and after the war no country welcomed them back, only Romania offered them citizenship.
We respect them and do not forget that in the two WW1 and WW2 they fought side by side with the Romanians for their country.
Gypsies are our artists, our musicians and they are not violent.
There are still disputes between clans, but not with the Romanians.
And by the way, Ferentari is a safe area and it's not a ghetto it's an area of ​​cheap old blocks where low income people live.
In this video it seems that the authors are racist.
By the way, I'm not a Gypsy but I appreciate their great artists (lăutari) like Fărămita Lambru or our great violinist who was Ion Voicu. The Romanian people gave Voicu a Stradivarius.

Dear "Going to World", I'm going to give you tips and tricks to understand Romanians.
First listen to their traditional music - Domnica Trop, Gheorghe Zamfir, Ioan Bocşa, Frații Petreuși. Angelica Stoican
Listen -Călușarii, Invâtritele de Transilvania, Dumitru Fărcașu (taragot).
And I end with George Enescu - Romanian Rhapsody no. 1 in A major, op. 11.
After listening to the soul and voice of the Romanians, come and visit us.
