I wouldn't say "limited metro" - because it is actually quite big. Almost double than Poland, Hungary, etc. My opinion that is the best mode of transport in Bucharest.
Good video. I agree with what you said in the end about the drivers here, they believe "they're F1 drivers". That is so unfortunately true. Most Romanians lack patience.

Great advice altogether ! One minor correction, the tap water it's fine by all health standards, in newer flat complexes that might house an AirBNB the plumbing it's new, but in older buildings that plumbing was probably rotten. I live in Cluj in a newly built apartment complex, I can trust the water that comes within the legal health norms (I tested it). But I also own a old 1980's commie flat in the city and that water it's only good for taking a shower as the central plumbing was never changed since the flat got built (old poor pensioner neighbours), I never used it for cooking, I had a kitchen reverse osmosis filter where the filter would be done in less than 3 months, because of all the rust and sediments. When in Romania my advice would be bottled water (all of them are fine), as almost it is spring water, you would rarely see treated tap water bottled.
Romanian language is light years away (even if we have some words borrowed and we use) from the Russian language and not "relatively close" as you mentioned....Romanian is a Latin language (in fact some studies reveals that is the opposite) and Russian is slavic.
I have been living in Cluj for the last 5 months, for Romanian standard its pretty expensive, dont go if you are on a tight budget, prices in cafes and restaurants are like in the west EU, which is crazy.
What you mean by "That's the way are things here " because it's raining one day or two and maybe next rainy day will be next year ?😁 Romania is not UK...
By the way, in what concerns the weather, especially in Brasov, with 2 sunny months a year, I say ''Welcome to Engl...ummm...Brasov''...Haha, I know...Now: The more you know (to correct your statements a bit) : -Russian is as ''similar'' to Romanian as English is to French -Credit cards: if I shop online I can choose to pay online, or cash at my door or, if not, the delivery guy has a POS app on his phone and I can pay right then and there with my card if I feel uncomfortable displaying my card online (I've never seen this available in England, where I live) -Trains: Are you friggin kiddin me??? Been doing Milton Keynes to London every weekend, delays every time, on arrival too...but nice applogies though...feels like Romania allover again -Potholes...REALLY??? Can i show you Milton Keynes side streets? Any side streets... And this city is just 65 years old...I can only imagine older cities in the rest of England... -Lastly...petty theft, theres less in big cities of Romania and less violence (domestic or public) than in England Honestly, sometimes it feels like i traded down...I do love the weather though... Lotsa love from a Romanian from the picturesque green Milton Keynes!
Russian is not close to Romanian at all lol, Romanian is a Romance language and it's closer to Latin than the Italian language. And the country Russia is not close to Romania, Germany is closer to Romania than Russia.
You did the worst faux pas. Rusian is not at all close to romanian. Latin is-70 procent. We have slavonic (and i wil belive that are thracian words adopted in slavic countries via Bulgarians and the orthodox church, not viceversa. When we were here, rusia was a swap with barbarian tribes).

Accurate with the exception of russian language... Romanian is a Romance language. Maybe the confusion is coming from 'da' meaning yes, which is the same in both languages. Don't know about russian, but in romanian this word is coming from latin - ita transformed to ida and shortened as 'da'. I will let you search what ita means in latin.
That was simply bad wording on my part. What was meant is that Romania and Russia are relatively close geographically. The languages are completely different.
Some handy tips there but here is one not covered. It's almost embarrassing asking this, but you know, as one gets older body parts tend to play up! So here is the question. Are Toilets generally clean and well maintained in bars, restaurants and hotels? Also for a solo traveller how long is not too long and not too short to spend there. The rule of thumb for my personal travels is ten days.
No problem, I found that they were always clean and well maintained when I was there in bars, restaurants and tourist sites like museums. I stayed in an apartment but can't imagine them being bad in hotels. In terms of how long to stay, it depends on your itinerary. On my last trip I spent about 9 days in Sibiu and Brasov, then one week in Bucharest. This last time was one week in Cluj-Napoca. A week was more than I needed for Cluj, but I did have days where I just worked.
Generally speaking, toilets are clean, but don't always count on it. E.g. toilets in trains are more likely to be dirty than clean. Toilets in restaurants are maybe 9 out of 10 times clean, and in bars maybe only 7-8 times out of 10 clean. Big gas station toilets, if you choose to rent a car, are also usually clean, small gas stations are hit and miss. So if you'll be in Romania for a short time, you are unlikely to see more than 1-2 dirty toilets, more if you're unlucky, none if you're lucky.
@@ChrisKermisBorn and raised in Brașov, but left 30 yrs ago. I’m just curious…. back in the days, they used to have those “public restrooms” in different public areas, and parks (not talking about the hotels, restaurants etc), where there was always a lady at the entrance with a roll of toilet paper in hand, and for 0.25 bani at the time, she would hand you 2-3 sheets of toilet paper, and give you access to the restroom. Do they still have them? Asking for a friend 😋
they are everywhere, out on the streets. it is just that you need to wealk by night to meet them. and obviously you should not have eaten garlic recently as they will avoid you
Is it okay to ask about the communism if it's from the perspective of someone not knowing anything about it and asking a local to explain from their point of view? Not specific questions that could be considered rude, just a general, "hey, could you tell me a little bit about the history here? I'd like to learn more."
You can talk about it, no issues there, but I wouldn’t recommend arguing with the locals about how great you think communism is because you read about it in a book or on the internet. There are some nostalgics but most people are vechemently anti communist.
This part of the world - the entire ex-communist block - is inhabited by great people: hospitable, laid-back, sane (more or less...), open, etc. You'll have the best time here if you'll observe, respect and obey this one rule: DON'T be an a$$hole! That's it!
Yes, don't talk politics, religion, history, don't point out racism or any problem, just pass through here like the cardboard cutout that you are. Seriously, if you care about something, want to learn or just to hear people's opinions just talk. Some may be passionate or dismissive, but most actually like debating and lively conversations.
Quite a few people have misinterpreted what I said there. My meaning was supposed to be that the countries are relatively close geographically, not in terms of language.
Everything you say about Tepes is a bedtime story. He was a just leader. If he had been like that in our times, all things would have gone very well and the prisons empty. People only know out of fear.
Just a little nitpick at the money talk about card usage, you made it sound like we barely started implementing paying with cards or contactless. That's not the case, can be on the countryside but you'd be hard pressed to find a city where you can't pay 99% of things via card. I was more shocked to go in bigger european countries and they don't have a system for you to pay a bus fair with your card, you either have to SMS or pay for a physical ticket or use an app to do it depending on the place.
Romanian has nothing to do with russian, correct ! It's a latin language poorly influenced by slavik. Overall the clip is good and romanians are not rroma, corect. Romanians are friendly yet in large cities beware of pickpokets as anywhere. Infractionality is, for god's sake, low even very low. A gorgeous country to explore !
Romanians don't speak russian/moldavian/bulgarian at all, neither the old people who are 90-100 years old, trust me. Some of us speak hungarian, iddish and turkish in some areas such as Transilvania, Bucharest and Dobrogea.
Roma is an ethnic group coexisting amongst the majority of the Romanians. Romanians are not an ethnic group, they are the large majority. Other important ethnic groups are Hungarians, Germans, Ukrainians, etc.
You don't know the definition of ethnic group. You confuse it with the term "majority". No, the world population is conposed of ethnic groups. For example the ethnic Germans are the majority ethnic group of Germany. And Romanians of Romania.
