Hmmm....malls below average and struggled to find movie theatres?...bit weird to me given I live in Romania and actually think it has better malls than some in England and Australia. AFi Cotroceni has a year round ice skating ring and rock climbing grotto wall that are outstanding and also a great cinema complex. Baneasa and Park Lake are also excellent and the cinema complex in Mega Mall Pantelimon one of the best I have been to in any country, watched my first movie in 4DX there...so I don't agree with your score on Entertainment. With regard to your Friendliness rating though, 100% spot on, awesome people.
@@GroundedLifeTravel im not a huge mall person, but I know what you mean, its to be expected though when you think of Singapore. My point was that most people dont think the same when you equate Romania with malls, but they have some excellent ones and quite a few and not hard to find at all.
@Calu Valentin Its not important at all. Point these people made was that the malls were below average and hard to find, which I disagreed with; Bucharest does have malls that are very easy to find and are very good, that was the point. But for me I really don't care about malls as they are full of over priced exclusive brands most people cant afford.
Calu Valentin lol, eu stau in state bro, ma duc la cinema dolby atmos cu scaune fotolii pe ecran ultra lat 4k din 2015. Cauta pe net Xplus Showcase Cinemas! Bafta
Yep! They actually totally get it wrong with the malls in Bucharest! I been traveling around Europe for couple years and Bucharest has one of the biggest and nicest malls I seen!
Hey guys, thank you for a generaly positive review of Bucharest. Although I would suggest that your review regarding the malls is a little off and the cinemas that you couldn't find, they're in the malls.
@@procyon826 Oh... you know, $400-$500 when the boss feels like paying you what he owes... Sometimes dude will be like... "I don't have enough, I'll pay you next week!'... ...And so on...
Adrian But nobody talks about net salaries. Because it makes no sens. You may get some tax deductions or even a lot of deduction. $1000 is a typical salary in Romania, as it is around $400-$600 net.
You are a bit wrong. You probably never visited the shopping centres outside the city centre. They are GREAT! You probably also never visited the awesome clubs outside city centre. You just saw the old town. If you visited the bigger clubs outside old town, you would give the enternainment a 10/10
Personally I think Bucharest has one of the biggest malls in Europe! With more then plenty of activities! This people should come to Stockholm for example to see what actually means “below average!” P.S. By the way I just can’t stand malls but to say that Bucharest has no malls when in fact has the one of the biggest malls in EU it’s pure BS!
@@granbubba1 Calm down, they were not impressed by our malls and cinemas, it's not a declaration of war, stay off the internet if you can't handle people giving out honest, respectful opinions.
Thank you for the video! In terms of cinema and movie theaters, you will rarely find any independent entities, though all 7 major shopping malls in Bucharest have quite decent cinemas with many of the movies in English. All the best!
Grounded Life Travel Oh then I understand 😂. Best ones are Baneasa Mall (reachable by a few bus lines otherwise taxi) Afi Mall (Politehnica Metro Station on Line 3 then a short walking distance) and Plaza Romania (One stop further on the metro than Afi Mall). Also, don’t fear the metro, it might actually be one of the least sketchy and safest places in Bucharest altogether. All lines run in two directions (The last stops on either side of the line) which are shown on an electronic panel at the head of the train, or shown by signs on platforms. Some stations do have older signs that are hard to understand but otherwise you have the sign on the front of the train.
4:40 Romania is the only one country from Eastern Europe who has pro-West mentality nowadays...last census said that 70% of romanians likes USA , the highest rate, regarding USA, in the european countries ....why ? probably romanians wants to adopt the american lifestyle ,step by step ,year by year...and to get rid of the worst lifestyle who was in Romania from 1945 until 1989 (the sovietization of Romania)
We are europeans and we love europeans lifestyle. I guess is more like West Europe than USA. But of course, USA is still a freedom country and with a lot of entertainment so yeah, it is nice to have all.
@@travelerexperience not exactly, romanians like the USA more than the West Europe despite the fact that the USA don't invest in Romania as much as they do in Poland... maybe people from cities that benefited from the EU funds like the EU more, but in eastern and southern parts where corruption thrives people don't like the EU that much
Mmmm...just a few things adjust. Internet speed is not excellent is just mindblowing, you should rate it 100 out of 10. I disagree also about entertainement - might not be as London or NY but it deserves easily a 7 out of 10. Weather is warmer than Chicago, waaay warmer. Winters are mild with a bit of snow. Last but not least, quit living in the old town, you are not safe. Get more info about the seismic area and you will see a larger picture. Thanks for the clip. Cheers :)
Woah woah woah, no rice and BEANS? You've got to be joking, both are used in Romanian traditional dishes, especially beans, both green and mature. I don't know where you've been, but you seem to have chosen the more modern trendy places, not traditional. You can find traditional baked beans and different kinds of rice even at the cheaper cafeterias in shopping centers. Speaking of shopping centers, ours seem to be better than most of Europe, according to those who've been there. I can tell you from personal experience that they're nicer than where I've been in northern Italy, at least. Same with cinemas, I've always had my college mates say they went and saw new movies in theatres and it was cheap too. Also I'm positive you can find an apartment complex with a pool up top, but they are in the newer residential areas on the outskirts of Bucharest. They've been building new apartment buildings like madmen compared to back in 2012 when I first went there as a student. By 2018 when I left, the city was so different I couldn't believe it. It actually felt futuristic, given how used I was with old communist flats. 😂
Thanks for sharing your experience guys. Hopefully, you've found that Romanians are friendlier in real life than in the RUclips comment section. Please don't mind these folks, they're just really bored with nothing better to do than to get triggered by the tiniest of feedback that's not overwhelmingly positive, all the time. I'm glad your experience in Bucharest was good overall. May you have a good 2021!
So Bucharest is full of malls and within the mall's you will find movie theater!! We have like 8 or 9 mall's and yea..you didn't quit correctly rated this part of the city.
bogdan andrei But she rated transportation way to good. Transportation is horrible in Romania and especially in Bucharest. Try for example to bring your child to kindergarten by bike: it’s horrible.
You gave entertainment 5 out of 10, lmfao, some of the best clubs are in Bucharest, restaurants, and malls are miles ahead of those of the us i’ve been to. Sorry but no, yes, us has more brands to pick from but nope, maybe the new one opening in jersey which is probably the biggest and most luxurious in the states will do the job
@@granbubba1 they’re doing ok in jersey. Even with the pandemic. Most store chains that have closed dozens of locations nationwide haven’t done so with they New Jersey locations
Thanks for the video,it was generally positive review of Bucharest,except some things,shopping malls in Romania are top,in Bucharest there are some of the biggest shopping malls in Europe,cinemas and restaurants are above average with great prices,and all international brands are everywhere ,nightlife in Bucharest oh it is one of the best in Europe,if you go to other countries you can feel the diffrence,people here like Americans,but they prefer more European style living and European countries,It’s a very nice video,I really like what you show in your videos.
legit thinking about doing this lol start working as a digital nomad front end web developer and go live between romania and colombia for a while. I speak english and spanish so im down to learn romanian
I wonder why you rated safety 8/10! I have been living here for decades and I have never ever had any safety issues. There are a lot of new luxury apartment complexes with pools. All you saw was a very small portion of the city in the old town. We have the most wonderful malls in Europe. There are several ones in Bucharest. You only visited the ones across the street. Your review is not real at all. And lastly, no normal EU citizen would want to live in America today. The taxi driver might have been either uninformed or naive or drunk. Our country is very beautiful, very safe, and very affordable. we don't want to go to America, trust me on that! How can you rate a city in which you visited only a small area?
We just love Americans and America because everything seems so cool there, I personally think even a rock on the side of the street from US is cool so yeah.
in the big towns people have higher wages so yes in bucharest it is between 3000 and 4000 lei if you take into account rural romania it goes below 2500 lei
I visited Romania in October 2019 and fell in love with it! Are there any work opportunities for a 72 year old single American, such as teaching English as a second language. Or graphic design?
Offcourse there are but u have to find for that,& there many students who live & working in Romania . But, why u need to move Romania from America ??? It could be very risky in this old age.
Romanian are very interested in learning foreign languages, especially English. I think you can easily find work in Bucharest, or you can give private lessons, which are very good payed. I lived there 35 Years of my life ( I was an English teacher) and was very happy 😊
Thanks for the video! Very nice! BTW the best of Romania is not at all Bucharest. I'm from Timisoara but I think the best of the country is Transilvania :)
@@costinhalaicu2746 i’m gonna answer in english, for everybody to understand : yes indeed, in Bucharest the medium wage is about 1000 us dollars, but that includes classes of people like it workers, engineers etc. The mininum wage is the same everywhere in Romania and lots of Bucharest inhabitants earn 300-350-400 dollars a month … Me, for example, i earn about 700 dollars a month in Bucharest and, after putting away all the recurring payments like mortgage, living costs, internet, phone bills etc, i end up with about 150 - maybe 200 dollars. For a whole month. That is less than 10 dollars a day …From those 200 dollars, i have to get food, i have to maintain a decent look, to dress decently, to be able to go for a walk and grab a beer or a pizza from time to time (after all we can not live to only pay bills, we have to feel alive…)… unfortunatelly, in Romania we pay the same as the western europeans for food and clothes, but the wages are 5-6-10 times smaller … it is true that mortgage, internet and other things that you “choose” are way more expensive in the eest, but still … So, i can call myself lucky for earning double the minimum wage and i still can’t afford to go to a one-day trip outside Bucharest once a month without having to cut lots of other expenses …
@@Salajanywood Yes, the minimum wage is really poor and should improve. Can't make a good living out of that for sure. But when they're talking about how "most people" live, they are talking about an average, even though there is a caveat that average wages are also deceitful in certain situations, and the average wage in Bucharest is above 1000 euro / month, and there is also a fairly sizable portion of people making north of that, hence the term "average", in the same way there is a sizable portion making less.
We haven't seen rooftop pools like we see in many other cities. you make me sick ! 1. Romania has 4 seasons out of which 3 are mostly cold, so rooftop pools are not a thing. also Air Conditioning is not a thing. But, if you had started to search you would be amazed by what you can find in Bucharest ( many many pools and many SPAs and wellness centers ( Try out Thereme )). Also you gave 8/10 for safety and then you said everything was perfect. How's that ? Also, The Malls and shopping centers are below average ? Lol - Check out Afi Palace which is one of the many. And Entertainment 5/10 that is crap. I am a foreigner and I can bet that Bucharest is better than Berlin when it comes to nightlife. No there is no fascination about Americans, that is the normal folk. The educated ones find you guys rude, loud mouth and don't really enjoy all of you. I hope you truly take into account what i have said. I've been living in Bucharest since 2004 and I love it ! Also, " transportation is very good, cheap etc.. let's give it 9/10 " ?
You're not a foreigner, you're an immature Romanian who can't handle honest, generally positive feedback. This kind of behavior in the comment section is just embarrassing our country, you know that, right?
5 out 10 for entertainment? no good malls and cinema? wtf? stop visiting just 2 places in bucuresti! there is more to the city then piata romana and unirii and old town... and we have some sick night clubs! i would have to rate your video 3 out 10... Bucuresti is not just old town... is so much more...no rice and no beans? you would struggle to find a house without rice and beans in their pantry! we are pretty famous for bean stew in a bred bowl and sarmale that are made with rice...
Entertainment 5/10 U must be kidding me... How can u not find a nice movie place when Bucharest have lots of it... There is Afi Mall, Mega Mall that u can find theaters there.. Or may be u just didn't have time to go around.. Lol...
Omg .The minimum wage is 400-500$and from here cutting the tax paid montly 45%left only 200-250$ and buy something the TVA its 19% so counting again the salary is you will get only 180-230$ montly so the food is more expensive than in London in most places.Well im living in England and im from Romania.The only things are most cheaper are the rents and buy a house or a land.Compared with england witch the life is 15x better here ,the only thing in Romania its the quality food you can get compared with England witch is fully chemicals.
@@vlads.3865 hmm that sucks... a lot of romanians visit the RF, especially Moscow and they absolutely love it! Hopefully things will calm down between you guys.
I dont know how you would give 9/10 points for food.. It is I guess based on taste and not on quality. Eastern Europe has a serious problem with food quality
Ok..so what are you doing wrong ? first ,you pick the wrong city.second ,you pick the wrong city. In cluj-napoca everything is 10/10,except traffic .traffic is horrible ,just like new York. 1-apartments down town -6-700 usd/monthly 2-restaurants ,pubs' ,coffee shops ,etc Job opportunities ,high wages ,universities . 3-lots of sport championship's (tennis,judo,gymnastics . 4-amazing weekend opportunities ,such as fishing ,rock climbing ,cave diving,wild life,boating .all this in 60mile from the city. 5-most friendly people you ever meet . Try it

No there is no fascination about Americans, that is the normal folk. The educated ones find you guys rude, loud mouth and don't really enjoy all of you. I hope you truly take into account what i have said. I've been living in Bucharest since 2004 and I love it ! Also, " transportation is very good, cheap etc.. let's give it 9/10 " ?
Thank you for watching! Happy travels:-)
Better than berlin lol,,, no MDMA NO COCE NO K in romania what is better than berlin!
@@GroundedLifeTravel lol, you're funny 👍👍
You're not a foreigner, you're an immature Romanian who can't handle honest, generally positive feedback. This kind of behavior in the comment section is just embarrassing our country, you know that, right?
Bravo! (Un vampir

Entertainment 5/10?! You must be kiddin'....Lol
Cristian Matac Thank you for watching. Happy travels;-)
Juggling clowns didn't show up at the airport to follow them around for their trip so they probably got bored along the way. ;)
@@getwulf9293 lol.
@@GroundedLifeTravel what a stupid reply
@@andrehaugen227 Actually I thought it was really smart...
5 out 10 for entertainment? no good malls and cinema? wtf? stop visiting just 2 places in bucuresti! there is more to the city then piata romana and unirii and old town... and we have some sick night clubs! i would have to rate your video 3 out 10... Bucuresti is not just old town... is so much more...no rice and no beans? you would struggle to find a house without rice and beans in their pantry! we are pretty famous for bean stew in a bred bowl and sarmale that are made with rice...
Entertainment 5/10
U must be kidding me... How can u not find a nice movie place when Bucharest have lots of it... There is Afi Mall, Mega Mall that u can find theaters there.. Or may be u just didn't have time to go around.. Lol...
4:25 what is that location, please?
Omg .The minimum wage is 400-500$and from here cutting the tax paid montly 45%left only 200-250$ and buy something the TVA its 19% so counting again the salary is you will get only 180-230$ montly so the food is more expensive than in London in most places.Well im living in England and im from Romania.The only things are most cheaper are the rents and buy a house or a land.Compared with england witch the life is 15x better here ,the only thing in Romania its the quality food you can get compared with England witch is fully chemicals.
What is your work?
Unfortunately can’t visit from Russia
Why not???
Jay Zee I don’t like flying on planes. It is possible to go by bus or by train by all routes are through Ukraine.
@@vlads.3865 hmm that sucks... a lot of romanians visit the RF, especially Moscow and they absolutely love it! Hopefully things will calm down between you guys.
@@vlads.3865 You can take a bus or train to Istambul, and from there another to Bucharest. For sure however that is the loooong way to do it. ;)
Yes, $1,000/month gross pay. Taxes are 38%. So...
🎈🇺🇸🎈
No rice ?!
Malls beyond average ??
Seriously ?!
I'm romanian but what you said was stupid.
1:45 more quickly
Eselent love it all of them kiss
Make 1500 euros salary and I belive you!
Mulțumesc pentru aprecieri. București este un oras deosebit dar oamenii nu ar trebui să fie catalogați într-un clasament idiot.
I dont know how you would give 9/10 points for food.. It is I guess based on taste and not on quality. Eastern Europe has a serious problem with food quality
We just really liked the food in Romania
Ok..so what are you doing wrong ?
first ,you pick the wrong city.second ,you pick the wrong city.

Job opportunities ,high wages ,universities .
