First Time in Bucharest, Romania 🇷🇴 FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I am sure for many this will be quite a change, from the long Asian series but we are back in Europe for some time, in Eastern Europe to be exact. We arrived the day before and on the first morning out I am going for a walk in the center of town. Let´s come along and make this possible. Next video my family will be part of it too.

Great to hear that you and family have chosen Bucharest to be your base. And Mrs Moonshine to continue her teaching career. Thanks a bunch for the cool and interesting walk about. Loved the beautiful buildings there, no honking and it's very clean. Looking forward to more videos on Bucharest/ Romania. Best regards and may god bless all of you 🙏🙏🙏

20:24 Roma Migrated from northwestern India about 1,000 years ago. 'The Gypsies' by Jan Yoors is a very interesting book on the Roma people if you haven't read it.The author ran away from his white Belgian family at the age of 12 & lived with the Gypsies for 10 years.

[@yvesthesleeve]

I heard of that, interesting

[@sorinpopa1442]

@@yvesthesleeve Ya please never compare those to native Romanians , dont do that mistaqe ^^ They have theyr own language and habits , that native romanians dont understand . they are a small minority here. Same like Indians in UK more or less . They are actually native indians to, bought from India as working slaves hundred of years ago ! They migrated all over world anyway , u can see them in most EU countries.

[@swarisivane8514]

Wow! Great Sir, a new destination. I like Romania and I am going to watch all your lovely videos. Best regards to your awesome family, miss them today. All the best , Sir ☺️

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks mate

[@maryrosed8475]

Very exciting looking foward to seeing more of Romania. Hope your family like Romania. I have cousins living in Cluj-Napoca. Romanians are very religious. They always seem to be fasting for some religious festival. We have lots of Romanians here in Ireland. Mostly good people.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes mostly they are quite friendly but somewhat serious.

[@sueteh4759]

I would think they’d drain the fountains for the winter and run them again in the spring and summer…?

[@realjx313]

Cucuteni Culture, then Dacians and Romans (ruins), then UNESCO world heritage sites. Also, low urbanization so rural is very important (plus rural preserves culture, traditions) and nature (mountains, the Danube Delta) is very important too. Plenty of caves, waterfalls, lakes, lots of mineral water, plenty of thermal. Foreigners tend to just go to a few cities so a very quick summary of what's actually out there. Also, food, lots of that to try. And unlike some cultures, Romania has lots of soups, lots of pickles. Oh and eats a lot of bread, so don't forget to pair things with bread - for example most soups are sour and that usually requires bread. If you search for info online, search in Romanian, not in other languages as you are not gonna find much in other languages.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Alright, I will take this into consideration

[@hayvebromier2158]

The Roma are descendants of Indians from the Rajasthan/Gujarat area who left India around 1000 years ago. The closest relatives to their language (Romani) are the current northwestern Indian languages.

[@yvesthesleeve]

That is very interesting

[@shivanshwadhwani4417]

Roma people are Indians from Rajasthan i believe, they moved to europe centuries ago, i think they were prosecuted in a lot of european nations for being gypsies. I don't know the full story though, hey maybe you can read about it a bit and talk more about it in your next Romania video. Thanks for the videos man they're fun to watch :)

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes, I heard they came down from India and even now they are having a hard time in Europe.

Roma people or gypsies as they are known are indian descendents spread all over Europe and we also have Indian workers who work in constructions in general. If you like Bucharest.then you will love the rest of the country. I m curious.where are you from?

@@yvesthesleeve Actually u didnt see nothing of what Romania has to offer yet , Bucharest its not a very touristy friendly city , because its to big ,crowded and pretty loud , like most big capitals are ^^ there are tone of cities in Romania that has more to offer then Bucharest .

[@Zakri_Boy]

Romania has piqued my interest. Is it part of the Schengen Area? What is it's capital city? Is it known for its wealth? How about job opportunities? What's the scoop for international students? Is it a hotspot for tourism? And let's not forget about its delectable cuisine and rich culture. What's the historical backdrop of Romania? My understanding of Romania is at ground zero. Moonshine I am passing the ball to you it's time to explore its mysteries and secrets for us.

[@yvesthesleeve]

I think now it's part of Shengen, capital is Bucharest and the rest I am trying to explore....

[@SilverfoxJB]

And out come the winter sweaters. We considered moving to Bulgaria because property is incredibly affordable and we are fed up with the visa runs., But of course the Brexit (a-holes) destroyed that dream for the rest of us Brits. I guess Romania is a similar country weather and property wise? "Maybe amongst the communist tyrants he was not the worst" - That's a low bar

[@yvesthesleeve]

I could not say, went to Bulgaria years ago and really liked it. I have mixed emotions about Bucharest but could not say that it has many similarities. What I do know is that I miss Asia, we all do and it is difficult to think that we would stay in Europe for a longer period...

[@SilverfoxJB]

@@yvesthesleeve Yes, that's the problem, Asia get's under your skin and it's hard to consider we may have to leave one day.

[@yvesthesleeve]

[@angth5347]

Wow suddenly back to europe

[@yvesthesleeve]

Well, not that suddenly

[@Sofia-0001]

Bucharest has 2-3 mil population, all sort of nationalities, so you don't look different there. Half south Romanians are more like Mediterranean type, of Neolithic farmers, while mountain Romanians and the half north have lighter features. Romanian language is a mostly Latin derived, simply because we are former East Romans. The closest grammar to Latin plus some Paleo Balkan features. That church is the largest Orthodox church in the world, Union fountains start from 15 May to November,. At 1,5 km are the longest in the world. There are some beautiful light shows after sunset there. Roma gypsy people are about 3% in Romania, are more or less integrated, but in Romania they do a lot less bad things than in the west. Is even said that they 'work' in the west then bring everything back home, where they build enormous palaces. They look a lot richer and way more integrate in Romania than Bulgaria or Hungary for example, where many are still in the ghetto stage and still operate a lot in the markets, like many years ago in Romania. But in Romania they also have all the minority rights in the world, unlike other East European countries. Those well integrated are good Romanians and the majority is proud of them. Many still live on social security services, just by making many children and getting child allowances.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks for this

Hey Ian, I didn't expect you to go to Romania. Its a surprise to me. I have seen a video about Nicolae caucescue and his regime in a documentary "Lost world of communism" and many other documentaries. It's interesting to see Romania. I believe you guys might be feeling very different and new because after a long time in India, you are visiting a European country where lifestyle, recieving /greeting people and many things are different. I am I Right? 5:25 the way you are trying to speak like other way is very funny dude. I laughed a lot at this point 🤣🤣🤣🤣
