You can visit "cazanele dunarii". From timisoara is a train to orsova. You must see one of the greatest rock sculpture in Europe

There is a spam reply to my comment about how to pronounce the town. I've reported it but it's using your photo and says Pinned by JetLag Warriors. I was very confused for a moment until I realized it's not you but a malicious impersonator - I'm telling you in case you also need or want to block it.

Hello! Thank you for visiting our country!

[@romulusmilea2747]

I was born in Timișoara (it is pronounced TeemeeSHoara, mind that SH), I live in Timișoara, and I would like to thank you a lot for your excellent video. I am really happy that you like our city so much, we are just so thankful that you like it. The river that crosses Timișoara is called Bega. Mamaliguța (polenta) is made of corn, corn beans are grinded, then boiled, with some salt. It is so delicious and healthy. Gratis is indeed free of charge, this word gratis comes from German language, it is exactly the same word in German language. Dobro is a word used in Serbia, in Romanian language it is said bun (pronounced boon), it means good. One more thing: in 2023 Timișoara will be for the whole year European Culture Capital, maybe you plan to visit it again, it will be full of very interesting events, I am sure hundred of thousands of people all over the world will travel to Timișoara.

[@eedragonr6293]

Yes, to see how the Communist Mafia/nomenclature together with the Rom/German Mafia destroyed the Romanian heritage of the democratic interwar Roses 'Park city buildings.

[@colinafobe2152]

even in english language there is a word gratis, it exists in so many languages. in 2022 capital of culture will be nearby Novi Sad, in Serbia. You are all welcome. Love from Banatul Sarbesc

RON is the code for the Romanian Leu as USD is the code for United States Dollar, polenta is not rice, it's boiled corn flour. you can say mersi (merci) instead of multumesc :D it's the same thing

[@TC-kp2os]

RON replaced ROL with the 2007 redenomination (when 10.000 ROL became 1 RON), and since then we are kind of used to having RON everywhere instead of Lei.

Hei! Another romanian!

[@judithf9297]

Yes you are absolutely right,also they said that Bega is the river that goes to Budapest and Vienna,that’s incorrect,the Danube is the river that goes through Budapest and Vienna, but that goes in the South part of Romania, not Timisoara. Polenta is corn meal and not mashed potatoes 😊

[@octaviantimisoreanu5810]

Can confirm that Timisoara produces a lot of architects. Three are in my family. The city is a university town as it has 5 universities so there are a lot of young people. Timisoara is the first city in all of continental Europe to have electricity and also the first city in Romania to be free of communism as the revolution started there. I'm Canadian, but I'm super proud to be born in Timisoara. The city kind of gives me London, Ontario and Quebec city vibes.

[@eedragonr6293]

And all of them have excellent results in Timisoara I see.

[@eedragonr6293]

Let me put it straight :money making machines with very little architectural value and nearly no style. And no heritage.

[@eedragonr6293]

I don't believe that London, Ontario and Quebec are made of Rom mob palaces. As they are the most cultural crown of the Romanian architecture today. Perhaps Las Vegas. Uncultural and uneuropean.

Loved this video! As a Romanian, it's really nice to see people coming here and discovering everything Romania has to offer. Regarding the food: sarmale are actually cabbage rolls stuffed with minced meat and rice, we also have a veggie version of them with only rice. Polenta is made out of corn flour, it's corn flour with water, butter and salt. Micii are the exact same thing as kofta :D. Now since you are staying here for a while, you should try to see the rural areas of Viscri, Breb and Rimetea, to get a hang of romanian traditions.

[@JetLagWarriors]

Hi Iulia! Thanks so much for the info and recommendation!!

[@constantinclipa1360]

kofta does not contain pork..muslims have a genetic allergy towards pork...that's why we never got conquered by the turks..we scared them with pork..not dracula :)) we do have a saying..the best vegetable is pork.

Haha, "dobro" means well/good, but not in romanian, in slavic based languages. "Good/well" in romanian is "bine/bun". ”Very well” is "foarte bine" and ”very good/tasty” would be ”foarte bun/gustos”.

[@JetLagWarriors]

haha yes!! Thanks for this

[@ioanbustean7442]

@@JetLagWarriors and the reason why almost everybody can understand "Dobro" in Timisoara it's because we have a border with Serbia ( as you know). In fact, there is a Serbian Banat (i.e. "Banatul Sarbesc" - "Banat" being the name of the region) , formed from villages where the citizens are both speaking Serbian and Romanian. I have plenty friends that are born from Serbian parents. Thanks for showing my beautiful hometown to the others! Take care!

Born and raised in Timisoara. A peaceful and enjoyable city. It was known in Romania as the mind of the country. The city was the first one in Romania who removed communism in December 1989 after hundreds of people gave their lives fighting against the armed regime forces. In a quick parenthesis, RON is the short for ROmania New Leu after the denomination was done in 2005 (10,000 ROL were transformed into 1 RON)

[@eedragonr6293]

A very discriminated Rom criminal clan confiscated and evacuated quite a number of public /state hospitals. Of course they couldn't do it alone. They did it with the complicity of the extended corruption of the Romanian communist and post-communist administration. They destroyed the city more than the war. Sure, criminality is destroying the democracy. If this is the rule of law there, good luck.

RON: Romanian New Leu (it was before called ROL but it has been changed when they cut 4 zeros from the currency's, for computer system to manage it easier 1RON = 10000 ROL) RO is short for Romania, like GB is short for Great Britain. So when they charged the currency because it had to have 3 letter like all the other currency's it was changed from Romanian Leu (ROL) to Romanian New (RON) fun fact New is Nou in Romanian and Leu means Lion. 🙂

[@lucimicle5657]

Na c-am învățat și eu ceva. Mersi!

[@dumitrumarusi426]

Also some of our neighbours replaced their currencies recently and used „N” in their currency code: PLN is the abbreviation for Polish New Zloty and BGN is the one for Bulgarian New Lev (which is similar to Leu, both meaning Lion). RON is the abbreviation for Romanian New Leu, however the restaurants must use the „leu” for singular and „lei” for plural on the prices and not the international abbreviation of the currency.

You can feel the fresh mountain air and it’s just at the base of the mountains . It’s called Pastavarie . It would be a shame not to go there before you leave . You can see the trout jumping .

Eating exclusively polenta, because all the crops were sent to the USSR, generates a disease.

So happy you stayed in my home city and you actually had your apartment next to my absolute all time favorite building! (the green one on the corner). Too bad you didn't have a local person show you the hidden gems. For example, there is a special rock in the pavement in Unirii square where you stayed, I always asked friends visiting from outside the city to go ahead and look for it. It is slightly bigger than the rest and has the map of the old citadel carved in it. If you will ever come back to Romania and Timisoara, the best time to visit would be in spring, late April. The weather is nice without being too hot and the city is full of flowers. Unirii square is great for people watching, a lot just come out for a stroll, with their kids or dogs, art and architecture uni students come here to draw/sketch, others play guitar, people sit on the terraces, the atmosphere is lovely. After watching more of your videos about your romanian experience, I find your first contact with your food funny now. Mamaliga a.k.a polenta is made out of cornflour, I guess you learned that by now. And the first contact with mici is so funny, knowing how Steve is absolutely in love with them now.

[@stanian2]

Nice, I like the "old town" parts of cities some lovely buildings there. Polenta is made from dried ground corn we have those in Slovenia too made into croquettes, those Mici, look similar to Ćevapi, grilled serbian sausage, but they are a little larger. We have fried cheese also in Slovenia another of my favourites but surprisingly filling. Agree with Steve to eat the cheese before it cools down too much. "Dobro" means "good" in many Slavic languages.Great view from your apartment over the square.

RON for Lei is what USD is for US dollar, or CAD for Canadian Dollar. RON means ROmanian New. It used to be ROL for Romanian Leu, but a few years ago, maybe 10, we conducted a denomination where 10.000 lei turned into 1 Leu (Leu is singular for Lei). So in order to avoid confusion our National Bank also switched from ROL to RON with this denomination.

You guys stayed in the Unirii Square (Union Sqare). Your next door neighbour is Casa Bruck (The House of Bruck). Fun fact about that: originally, there was a pharmacy at the lower level, and the tradition continues even now. In The Unirii Square there are two churches, the Catholic one which you mentioned and an orthodox one, The Serbian Orthodox Church. The architectural style in the Unirii Square is the Baroc style, and the big building next to Casa Bruck is The Baroc Palace, which is an art museum. The buildings in the Operei Square, the one with the Mitropolitan Cathedral are of the Art Nouveau, a style specific to the early 1900, and the architect is Laszlo Szekely. The Cathedral is the second tallest orthodox Church outside of Russia, and the tallest one is in Bucharest. The Timișoara cathedral was built in the mid 1900 and the style is specific to România, with some byzantine style, of course. The restaurant that you ate at is Miorita, which is the name of an old "doina" a kind of old poem style. Miorita was transmitted by oral speaking and it has hundreds of versions. Mulțumesc for visiting Timișoara! (And yes, the beer is made here at a factory that the Austrians population built, approx. in 1718 after they beat the ottomans).

The communists destroyed the most elegant buildings in the Romanian Park of Roses. Romanian architecture, Cubic style...

[@eedragonr6293]

Together with the new German Sandner I was just informed

[@eedragonr6293]

I bet no one wants to hear what a very hard working young lady told me about this Miorita thing.

[@johnnypezona9513]

Looks beautiful! Btw..the name of the river is Bega. And that traditional restaurant is amazing. Ooh I love Catalin - BackPackYourLife. ✌😁❤

[@laurenmarcus6096]

Can't wait to visit someday That's cool ❤️

[@FarellandSheila]

Oh nice one guys finally Romania. Your plan since before. The country reminds a lil like Poland also

[@JetLagWarriors]

Yeah a little! The food is sort of similar too. Lots of meat, sausages, etc

[@laurswoodwork5942]

Palenta is made3 out of pure corn flower , so it's just boiled corn flower. You guys did hit the jackpot with sarmale and mici, the most traditional romanian food.

[@endouceurendouceur318]

We hope You will travel also to Republic of Moldova, crossing Prut river / = = Țaul Parc in the North, Soroca Fortress on river Nistru, Old town Orhei /Orheiul Vechi, Căpriana monastery, Cricova winery, Cahul springs in the South, also our food and wine, etc. So, Welcome to East-Moldavia / East-Romania !

[@JetLagWarriors]

[@PrezentareMachete64]

Great video👍👍👍

Bravooo Cristi și Ralu !

[@edithciobanu2860]

Mamaliga is made from corn flour. And the "mici" you should eat with mustard. I'm happy you loved Timisoara❤

[@Shademon]

Thx for visiting my city !

[@knowledgesounds]

it is called BEGA River guys..not baga river ..good vlog by the way,keep up with good work,cheers!

[@yamabo]

We usually eat mici with mustard and bread just like that haha. The mamaliga would usually be served with some kind of stew or saucy food like chicken paprikas or literally simple onion stew. Also "dobro" or "dobre" is good in Slavic languages like serbian or croatian xD we don't use it in Romania. However since Timisorara is close to Serbia i assume some people might us it over there. Cool video!

Banat is the Switzerland of Eastern Europe. You have Romanians, Hungarians, Serbs, Germans, Bulgarians, even Gypsies, living in harmony together without major interethnic problems, quite unlike elsewhere in the Balkans.

[@razvanbutiac7684]

Hi guys... nice video. Mămăligă, is a corn flour used to replace bred (i'm romanian... I know what I speak), boiled. So, basically is not to be consumed alone, you can have it with almost everything... with sarmale, smantana si branza (sower-cream and cheeze), with barbecue... with ciorba (kind of supe but sower... you have to try it)

[@eleeveeayees3425]

Underrated!

[@mikeleong8174]

Wow the architecture is super beautiful Orthodox church prayers will face Jerusalem

[@JetLagWarriors]

Oh! Didn't know this, thanks!

[@JetLagWarriors]

We are curious…what do you know about Romania🇹🇩🤔?

[@iskandartaib]

I wonder if Ploesti would be worth visiting.. What is it famous for? Oilfields.. 😁. (As a result it got bombed heavily in WW2. ) And, if I recall correctly, Nadia Comaneci. I suppose if I visited Romania I would like to visit there.

[@iskandartaib]

Did a bit of looking things up.. The Wikipedia article on Ploesti is the only article about a city I have come across that has a section on petroleum geology (including a stratigraphic column and a structural cross section). Nadia Comaneci didn't come from there, she came from another town called Onesti.

[@iskandartaib]

@@ikramiqbal2273 Us geologists have been known to visit places just to look at the rocks by the side of the road.. 😁 I suppose that's just us, though (and there would be a lot to see, since this is in a collision zone/fold belt). I'll bet, however, there's at least ONE good museum, given the history of the town (and we know Steve loves museums). It's also on one of the main highways, so it should be easy to get to.

[@iskandartaib]

@@ikramiqbal2273 It'd probably be a long time before I make it out there though.. 😁

[@eedragonr6293]

@@iskandartaib I wonder why this city was heavily bombed by the Allies in WWII
