Hi guys! You deserve an honorary citizenship from the Romanian government. Guys, you do so much for my country Romania, now you have a Romanian identity in yourself.
Romanians really appreciate the natural taste of fruits, that is the reason why your host gives you apples. It is a sign of friendship and respect. You were welcome!
The last minute of the video in which the guy offers you guys some apples represents the Romanian attitude against all foreigners like no joke, as long as foreigners come on a friendly visit they will be much respected. Thank you, guys!
Hello guys! The masks you saw there Steve were used also in very dark and dangerous times. In 1241 a huge invasion of Mongols destroyed every single medieval state built in what is now Russia and Ukraine, crushed every single Polish fortress and finally arrived in our lands. The history did not retained the name of the individual who asked his fellows to were these masks along with as many bells possible. When the Mongols appeared with their army composed only by horse riders, Romanians came in front of them wearing this "equipment". Mongols were scared of the ghosts of the woods. More than that, their horses became impossible to be controlled and ran in all directions, making useless any war plan. Without throwing a single arrow, the battle was won. Masks like these ones can be found in Maramures county also. Those are bigger and scarier and have a different spiritual role. They are used to scare bad spirits to enter in our world wearing the role of guardians, sort of spiritual sanitizers. I don't know if you guys realized until now but Romanians welcome every single individual who shows heart and spirit. And it is not a façade. It is something deep, common to all the people who lived in this world, in the same places, for a long time. This is the key of our surviving on these lands after all kind of catastrophic invasions from all the cardinal points. Facing kindness, some the invaders finished by finding a place in this old society and becoming Romanians themselves while adding a part of their individuality to the nation. There were other conquerors who did not fall in this "trap" and they left their bones in our soil because my people know how to defend themselves.
We were glad that you visited Moldova a bit. If we knew you were coming to our parts, we would have been happy to show you the main attractions. I am from Piatra Neamț and my husband from Bacău. Thank you for visiting our country!🙏👍🇹🇩
I like that you go now beyond the mainstream tourist attraction and try new places which are not presented usually by foreign vloggers. Congratulations, I appreciate this a lot.
I remember being in Neamț in winter when I was little, my family and I also took the cable cars uphill and ate at the same restaurant you guys did. Beautiful times..
I am so glad you've visited Piatra Neamt, the city where I was born and raised. Thank you for everything and we are waiting you to come back every time with smiles on our faces.
I also ate mici with rice. I was a poor student and I oftenly ate at the students canteen/ cafeteria 2 mici with rice cooked in Serbian style. It was delicious, very cheap & filling.
Guys, I am smiling as I am writing this comment and you put that smile on my face! Thank you for that. Hearing you ordering in Romanian is just mind blowing!! I feel really bad for you not being able to have mici but by the looks of it, you enjoyed that `tochitura`. And at the end you've got free fresh apples. Cannot get any better than that! 🙂 P.S.: Ivana, you look great wearing that yellow Romanian `IE` (shirt).
I can't believe that you have also arrived in Piatra Neamt, my hometown😁I'm glad to see that you felt good in my hometown😁🤗👍Tochitura is one of our very tasty traditional dishes, only that it must be eaten at restaurants with reputation so that you can really appreciate the taste..unfortunately, where you ate Tochitura is only a seasonal restaurant😁 and the quality of the food is a little lower. Anyway, I'm sure that Tochitura was more delicious than Mici with rice🤣🤣 🤣.. Mici are only eaten with mustard and bread😁💪💪👍👍. I hope you continue to enjoy the wonderful places of Romania! Have a good trip!👋
Hello guys! You can also visit the south -west side of Romania such as Cazanele Dunarii , Decebalus statue and the whole Danube area there which is such an amazing place , also the cities of Craiova , the capital of Oltenia region with alot of museums and one of the bigest parks in Europe and Targu -Jiu , the city of one of the most famous sculpture artist Constantin Brancusi. I hope you see my comment and take that in mind. Enjoy u're stay here in Romania and good luck
Since you are in Moldova, you must eat Moldovan. They are famous for Radautseana sour soup (ciorba Rădăuțeană), as well as for other "ciorbe", as well as for their pies. Congratulations for visiting The Popa Museum, it is unfairly unknown even by Romanians. I recommend you to visit two very beautiful monasteries in Neamt, Varatec and Agapia. The first is picturesque and medieval, while the second is famous for the interior painting of the church, which was done by Nicolae Grigorescu in 1858, when he was 20 years old!!
Just wow ! The Bicaz place is a hidden gem. Never seen that spot before. Amd what a wonderful surprise on the Popa's museum! I have been filming the museum for a project when I was in high-school like 20 years ago. It was presented by the old folks, they had a special charisma! Now it looks renovated but I am glad the children are taking care of the museum. A visit it is well worth it ! Thank you 😊 you are amazing! I love your videos. So much fun .. and I miss Romania so much, now living in Uk
Great content! For your health, I suggest you try some lighter fare at some point, maybe take a break from all the pork and grilled meat or fried meat. Try any dish with quinces ("gutui"), it's that time of the year. These are very delicious and traditional, you can see the huge yellow fruits in gardens around the country. A typical dish involves chicken and quinces. Or try meat with plums. Or the various herb- or vegetable-centric dishes (which may have meat, but not in such quantities to overpower the plant flavor), such as "mâncare de..." Celery ("țelină"), parsley ("pătrunjel"), dill ("mărar"), etc. Last but not least, check out any trout fishery ("păstrăvărie") for fish dishes and fresh trout. Happy travels, you guys are awesome!
If you are still in the area, I strongly recommend going for a hike on Ceahlău mountain. Park the car in Durau, and go for 1 hour hike to cabana Fântânele. Spend there the night, it is gorgeous. Then, the next day, hike to cabana Dochia. You can spend the night there, or go up and down in the same day.
I am so happy you came to Piatra-Neamt, the place where I was borned, raised and still living! Piatra-Neamt is more about the landscapes around the city than things to see in city apart from the City Centre. You could have gone to Batca Doamnei, a hill not far away to see the ruins of ancient Petrodava, or at the small dam. Fantastic sunsets! Or on the top of Pietricica, the small mountain in the middle of the city, there is a road, also a nice view up here. It is beautiful city but unfortunately it has no prospects for development. Piatra-Neamt is a city nestled between the mountains, the streets are pretty much like 50 years ago so it very crowded at some times. There is not much industry also. Next year I will go to College in Iasi probably, to continue my studies (I want Computer Science) and I don`t really plan to come back here afterwards.
So true, Piatra Neamt is very underrated, we live in Brasov and I feel Piatra Neamt has a very similar landscape and is such a strategic point to visit Northern/Eastern Romania. So pleased to see you guys have gone “off the beaten path” so to speak and visited some less popular places. Also well documented. Well done 🥰
I'm glad that you discovered this amazong city. It's my hometown, altough I'm studying now in other city, Piatra-Neamt still remain the most beautiful city that has nature at few steps. You should get back and get a bike to get on those hills, it's very nice. Peace!🙏
Hello ! If you are still in Moldova, I recommend you to visit the Bacau region, (Targu Ocna Salina, the town of Slanic Moldova, Ghika Castle, the Valea Uzului dam) In Slanic Moldova you will find many springs with mineral waters. Although I saw that you passed through the city of Bacau, if you want to return, you can visit the Leisure Island, the astronomical observatory (the most modern in Romania). I am from Bacau and I really like your videos.
At the same time, in Bacau you can find a series of murals on the walls of some city blocks. There is a "ZIDART" festival that every year invites artists from all over the world to create such paintings. You can google it to see the pictures.
Romanian has gendered nouns, so "doi" is the counter for masculine nouns and "doua" for feminine. Same goes for Unu/Una. They're the same from 3 and upwards though, so you only need to know those two.
@@JetLagWarriors Romanian crash course: Difference between doi/două: "Doi" is only used for masculine nouns while "două" is used for both feminine and neuter nouns. So you say doi copaci/two trees (masc.), but două maşini/two cars (fem.) and două tablouri/two paintings (neuter)

North Moldova is Romania's hidden gem. Not many foreigners know about it, while the culture is rich and slightly different from Transylvania or Bucharest.
Hey its my hometown... I miss Piatra Neamt... I was born and grew up there... its been 5 years since I last seen it... your content really made me want to leave San Diego and visit my country... hope you guys have the best of times... cheers...
Guys you really need to take the gondola from Buşteni to Babele and Sphinx rock formations. Maybe even hike from there to Omu peak. It is really awesome.
you guys should go hiking to Toaca Peak (Ceahlau Mountain) and sleep at Fantanele Lodge (1h hike), or even Dochia Lodge on the top of the mountain. It's a pretty cool hike starting in Durau, which is nearby Piatra Neamt. Safe travel and have fun!
I just found your channel just the other day. What a joy to see you guys embrace so many things about my culture and country, to the point where you shared Romanian cuisine to people abroad! I was already feeling very excited to see you guys in Cluj Napoca, the city I spent a few years in during my university studies, and which is still very dear to me. But imagine my eyes bugging out as I see the thumbnail for this video, with a very familiar looking cable car.... and the title showing that you visited my hometown! Amazing. I'm not in Romania at the moment, but if you ever go back in the region, it'd be awesome to cross paths so I can show you around, both around my hometown and in Cluj. Think you'd be up for hiking up a mountain? There are some amazing views, both on the way to, on the way up, and on top of Ceahlau mountain, which is an hour and a half away from Piatra Neamt. There are various routes to the top, some of which are beginner-friendly, and plenty of experienced hikers (including my dad) who could help. I'm glad you had a nice time there, and if you ever want a bit of help or info, I'd be happy to assist. :)
Ivana you are a great cook. Love how you experiment with your cooking. 10 stars Ivana!!! Another beautiful spot! Great information once again! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
nooo!! mici are good the only way they are supposed to be!! :)) other than that, you are right, Piatra Neamt is in top 3 cities in Romania for me.. small, quiet, beautiful and surrounded by mountains and lake!
You are both great!!! I lived in London Ontario, and now living near Piatra Neamt, if I knew were in the area would have took you to Onesti, is a place there and they make the best Mici in Romania!
Nice to see people visiting the town I'm from. We get many people in Piatra Neamt but mostly elderly people wanting to go on hikes or stuff like that. Nice video!
Guys you should come to Iasi, the capital of Moldova. Especially this weekend starting with 14 is the largest pilgrimage in Romania + there will be the town celebration days ( concert, fireworks, food etc).
@@didkaivanova3656 I just send them a message and recommended them Ruse, Veliko Tarnovo,Treavna, Gabrovo, Sofia, Rila. Maybe Burgas can be visited better in the summer.
Just a helpful comment, anytime u see the word Tocat or toca on a menu it means meat that has been chopped into stir fry like chunks. In this case it was tocature or sometimes you’ll see toconita. Hope that helps
If you continue the road trip in Moldova region of Romania,you should go to Rădăuți where was invented the ciorba rădăuțeană(similar to tripes ciorba) and after to visit the monasteries region,Putna.Enjoy your trip you guys.
First time comment. First of all absolutely amazing footage. You show Romania in completely different light. As for Ivana it's called color blindness. Some people view colors differently. A quick test at the eye doctor for it and they can recommend if needed special glasses which enhance some colors so people who have color blindness can see colors as they're. I only know this because I've noticed this with my sister. She was seeing dark blue as green. And for a long time I thought she's messing with me or trying to see what I say, but nope she really couldn't see dark blue as dark blue. To her it was just a different shade of green. That's mainly why I commented. I prefer to relax and enjoy the content.
A big no for mici with anything other than mustard and/or fries. Nothing wrong with trying different combinations tho. Love your content. Have a lovely day
Steve didn't it occur to you that the lovelibIvana might have just wanted to eat rice with the mici regardless of how it's suppose to be eaten. Terima Kasih for sharing how lovely and beautiful Piatra Neam is. 💗💗💗
I really doubt anyone in Romania has combined mici with anything else except mustard or french fries. So we wouldn't know. The only variation we know is pan fried or coal grill. But hey, you do you :)) By the way, that "tochitura" was the "safe" version. The traditional one will give you a heart attack - cheese, greese, pickles and fatty pork, topped with egg, usually served in a jumbo sized portion. Still tastes great, though
Hi guys! You deserve an honorary citizenship from the Romanian government. Guys, you do so much for my country Romania, now you have a Romanian identity in yourself.

Hello ! If you are still in Moldova, I recommend you to visit the Bacau region, (Targu Ocna Salina, the town of Slanic Moldova, Ghika Castle, the Valea Uzului dam)

I also hope, I recommended them to visit Ruse, since is so close to Bucharest. @JetLag Warriors
@Bogdan Patrut Yes, it is beautiful in Ruse. I am from Burgas and there are many places to visit here as well😊
@@didkaivanova3656 I just send them a message and recommended them Ruse, Veliko Tarnovo,Treavna, Gabrovo, Sofia, Rila. Maybe Burgas can be visited better in the summer.
tonight I was watching the match with RAPID and I saw you in the stadium. I appreciate you very much
Yeah. I saw you too. Probably the camera guy watches your videos also
how about the small towns like Bistrita, Targu Mures, Medias?
For those that do not know “Neamț” is a nickname given to German people. Piatra Neamț translates as German Stone 😅
Piatra Neamt is the most beautiful city of Romania
Just a helpful comment, anytime u see the word Tocat or toca on a menu it means meat that has been chopped into stir fry like chunks. In this case it was tocature or sometimes you’ll see toconita. Hope that helps
Hi!The most underrated place in Roumania is Targu Jiu ,the home of Constantin Brancusi.
If you continue the road trip in Moldova region of Romania,you should go to Rădăuți where was invented the ciorba rădăuțeană(similar to tripes ciorba) and after to visit the monasteries region,Putna.Enjoy your trip you guys.
My town ,
I just spoke with immigration about that mici and rice. They said you’ll get kicked out the country if you do it again 😂
Lol ! 😆
LOL ahahaha
First time comment. First of all absolutely amazing footage. You show Romania in completely different light. As for Ivana it's called color blindness. Some people view colors differently. A quick test at the eye doctor for it and they can recommend if needed special glasses which enhance some colors so people who have color blindness can see colors as they're.
I only know this because I've noticed this with my sister. She was seeing dark blue as green.
And for a long time I thought she's messing with me or trying to see what I say, but nope she really couldn't see dark blue as dark blue. To her it was just a different shade of green.
That's mainly why I commented. I prefer to relax and enjoy the content.
Hey welcome to my town!
I've never tried mici with soup but must be interesting 🤔 😅
My beautiful town, Piatra Neamt, I really miss that green 💔
A big no for mici with anything other than mustard and/or fries. Nothing wrong with trying different combinations tho. Love your content. Have a lovely day
I actually ate them with rice as well, and I'm from Romania. just had cooked rice laying around and had no mustard so....
You guys are awesome and give some good vibes. Lovely city btw.
One month and you guys will learn romanian language
I hope you will have nice memories of Romania and romanian peoples
Steve didn't it occur to you that the lovelibIvana might have just wanted to eat rice with the mici regardless of how it's suppose to be eaten. Terima Kasih for sharing how lovely and beautiful Piatra Neam is. 💗💗💗
I love her creativity, mici and rice... exotic looking.
my best bro steve looks handsome & my sis ivana thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your cousin viki 💙
I really doubt anyone in Romania has combined mici with anything else except mustard or french fries. So we wouldn't know. The only variation we know is pan fried or coal grill. But hey, you do you :))
By the way, that "tochitura" was the "safe" version. The traditional one will give you a heart attack - cheese, greese, pickles and fatty pork, topped with egg, usually served in a jumbo sized portion. Still tastes great, though
I really appreciate that you come up North.
