Could This Be EUROPE'S NEXT UP AND COMING CITY!? | Chisinau, Moldova

[@SarahandMarek]

Were you surprised by what we shared about Chisinau & Moldova? 😄🇲🇩

Sarah, You are wrong, Moldavian speaks MOLDAVIAN language, nothing rominian. Go to Moldavian Constitution art.13 and Moldavian legislation, dear...

@@danielzaporojan813 Lingvistul romînesc Vasile Arvinte în vestita sa monografie Romîn, romînesc, Romînia (Bucureşti, 1983. P. 38) a demonstrat: «Expresia «лимба ромыняскэ» apare în Valahia în 1838». În prima jumătate a veacului XIX!… Nici nu se putea mai devreme, pentru că nu exista cuvîntul «ромын»! Următoarele mărturii şi concluzii sînt demult, tare demult cunoscute. Primul adevăr din care decurg celelalte: «În 1812 Romînia nu exista!… Şi nu se gîndea nimeni că o «romînie» ar fi cu putinţă…» (N.Iorga, 1912). Acest adevăr încă de două ori a fost adusla cunoştinţa romînilor, comunităţii lor academiceşti şi clasei lor politice. Cel mai cunoscut şi apreciat în Europa istoric romîn Lucian Boia în 2002 amintea romînimii: «La 1800 nu exista încă nici cuvîntul «romînia»!»(Romînia ţară de frontieră a Europei).

You lady have a great international media correspondent vibe. You got a wonderful way of presenting. Keep up the great work 😃

[@SarahandMarek]

Hi Mahdi! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that 😁

[@VladG19]

Very nice video guys! Thank you for the positivity too! Sometimes it’s hard to see the positives here even for us locals 😅 I hope you guys come Back but in the summer, you will enjoy it much more as we have nice weather and also there is some very nice places to visit outside of the city in the summer

[@SarahandMarek]

Thank you! We would really like to visit Moldova again someday. It was one of our favourite countries in Eastern Europe 😊 I'm sure there is so much more to explore! Where is your favourite place to visit in the country?

[@VladG19]

@@SarahandMarek So a few places would be Orheiul Vechi (the most famous) it’s a beautiful natural reservation and has two very traditional villages, Molovata (it’s a village on the river nistru), cariera de la fetesti (nice place for photos too), then the Cricova and Milestii mici wine cellars ( which have around 100km) biggest in Europe or even the world wine cellars and they do tours inside and also trying of different wines and also there are many very good chateaus like Asconi, Castel Mimi, Purcari etc where you can go and they have traditional hotel and restaurant on site and in the summer they have live concerts with traditional music plus swimming pool to relax and stuff.

[@SarahandMarek]

@@VladG19 These places sound great!! 😁🙌🏼 We've heard of the huge wine cellars and the delicious wine in Moldova, we wish we had time on our last visit to see them 🇲🇩🍷

[@sidkan-f3i]

I really want to visit Chișinău, Moldova. But someone told me there are lots of street dogs, stray dogs, is it true. Because I am scared of dogs . But I really want to see Moldova. Pls guide

[@SarahandMarek]

Haha na we haven't heard or seen anything like that 😄 from the couple of days that we were there, we didn't see any dogs 😃

[@SonOfZeuz]

What’s the costs like nowadays?

[@SarahandMarek]

Hi Nicholas :) we visited Moldova in February. The prices were very reasonable and we considered it very budget friendly country especially considering we travel using a weak currency (South African Rand). Not too sure what the prices are like now...

[@valeria-qz3jl]

We in Moldova don't speak Romanian. In more developed areas and in schools they are speaking a "prettier"/" more educated moldovan" which is the most similar to romanian, with only the accent and some words being different. That's becoming more common due to the increased romanian influence. But if a person from the village or any other person speak the actual moldovan then a Romanian won't understand because the words are russified or big part of them. As an extra, according to the Moldovan constitution, the country's official language is still moldovan. People are starting to refuse the moldovan because by speaking it, you're seen as an uncultured and as a low class person. Yet Moldovan is an individual language, despite being very similar to romanian. If we go by the theory of it being Romanian, then Spanish is the same as Portuguese, Czech is the same as Slovak, Italian is the same as Spanish or Romanian and so on.

[@SarahandMarek]

This is so interesting! Thank you for taking the time to tell us Valeria 😊

[@MsCristea]

@@SarahandMarek Except it's not true. Moldovan is an accent of Romanian. Portuguese is significantly more different to Spanish (I speak both), in best case scenario the relationship between them would be dialectal. It takes a Romanian from Romania several weeks to a few months to learn all the Romanised Russian words.

[@dumitritsadumi4282]

That’s not true! The connection between what you call “Moldovan” and Romanian would be like the Portuguese and brazilian Portuguese, which is still portuguese, or German and Swiss German, or Austrian German, which is still German. We speak romanian in Moldova!

[@steverodgers1979]

Why do you keep calling the place Chisinev? It's Chisinau. I think it sounds pro-Russian to call it Chisinev.

[@CM-sj9pb]

Ukrainians must give us Bukovina in the north of Moldova and south region that neighbours with the Black sea, these territories were given to them from Moldova by USSR

[@zekcide]

Realistically that won't happen. About as likely as Moldova getting back with Romania

[@МихаилИванов-б1о4к]

we don't owe you anything. Before you demand, sort out the pridestrovie.

[@ylepgd618]

It's Chisinau, not Kishinev please

[@kinai01]

Normaly the cheapest way is Public Transit, however it doesn't get you to the door and if you don't know the area a taxi is the most convenient way

[@SarahandMarek]

Yes that's exactly right and in all honesty we quite enjoyed our taxi ride 🚕 out driver was a very nice man! 😊

[@nicolae4jl]

Thanks for visiting our country, Thanks for visiting Chișinău 😀 .

[@SarahandMarek]

Thank you! 😄🇲🇩

[@Watfordfc2030]

We’re visiting in September and can’t wait , don’t think I’ve ever been this excited and I’m 53 , the people seem wonderful

[@SarahandMarek]

Amazing! Make sure that you try some local food, it's delicious 🤤 have a great trip 😃

[@shakostarsun]

I spent almost two months in Chisinau I loved it we did sleeper train Bucharest to chisinau

[@SarahandMarek]

That's awesome! We really enjoyed our short time in Chisinau and that overnight train ride was our favourite train experience on our travels 😁

Moldova still has young people because they aren't in the European Union. A lot of the young people from Romania (EU member) have gone to England, Spain, and Germany to work The Moldovan youth stay home. Thanks.

[@SarahandMarek]

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for taking the time to tell us that 😊

[@EuniceLeyva]

Hi! Love the video, may I just ask when did you travel to Moldova and did you feel safe while you were there?

[@SarahandMarek]

Hey Eunice 😊 thank you so much! 😁 we were in Moldova from the 14th-16th of February of this year and felt so incredibly safe at all times. The locals are friendly and kind and we never once felt in any sort of danger. This was our experience but it may not always be the case, we always practice caution no matter where we are 😃

[@shakostarsun]

Ia Mania festival was awesome too and places outside of Chisinau like Bee aviaries and Old Orhei.

[@SarahandMarek]

In our short visit we were only able to explore the city but we would love to explore more in the future 😁

[@shakostarsun]

An amazing thing to me is many resteraunts had places for children to play which is unheard of in the USA I'm talking like fine dining good food with a jungle gym for kids to play.

[@SarahandMarek]

That's amazing! I don't remember noticing that to be completing honest but we were only there for a few days :)

[@MsCristea]

I as a Moldovan was surprised that other countries don't have such things. Other peoples do say that we are a very child-centric society, but I always replied 'Yeah, right!'. However, this is true. I have finally understood that I had a beautiful, happy childhood in Moldova.

I am a frequent traveler. British citizen. Travelled to 36 countries, Moldova was number 37. I flew here on 21/9/2023, it's a Visa free country for British citizens, but I was DENIED ENTRY and held in detention because I am Muslim. The British embassy was able to send me back home. I was really looking forward to exploring this country, REALLY LOOKING FORWARD!!! The flight was very expensive because all budget airlines has stopped flying there but I was still determined to go! The border police discriminated against me and denied me this opportunity! Just because of my religion!!! There is no justice!

[@SarahandMarek]

Hope that you manage to visit sometime!
