moving to Bucharest - travel day

Hello hello hello! I'm back with a quick video showing my first day moving to Bucharest, Romania. You should expect to see me struggling to find an apartment next ahaha. This Erasmus didn't start with the right foot, but I'm sure it will be amazing moving forward. And I'll try to film some of it for whoever will be here to watch :)

The reason is because Romania was not part of Schengen area the control is different......now they will be part of Schengen area by air and maritime point of entries.

[@martinafacose]

Yeah I know about the Schengen area! Maybe I should've been clearer about what I'm talking about in the video. I meant that I had to go through passport control, which was weird, because Romania is still a EU country and I can technically travel there with just my ID. Since then I've flown to Romania again from a different airport, and that one for example had two lines, one for passport control and one for just ID. This I consider more reasonable

Romania is not Spain or France where they always pretend that they are more than us Romania, but we are a lot safer than most countries in Europe.

[@martinafacose]

Yeah I know! Which is why it's ridiculous that we need to go through extra control in the airport to fly to Romania ☠️

[@michaeltom5465]

@@martinafacose it's because we are not in Schengen zone. Now you know 😉

[@martinafacose]

I understand that, but it's still weird that (for example) I have to go through passport control to fly to Romania, while technically I don't even need to have a passport to travel between EU countries, I can do that with just my ID. Soon I'll be flying back to Romania from a different airport than the one in the video, I'll see how it is there! ✨

@@martinafacose I really don't understand why they asked you for the passport. If you are Italian they shouldn't, I really don't see the point!!!

[@michaeltom5465]

Actually I know what you are saying, because it happened to me once. I came from London to Milano, staying for a weekend, then when I went back to London, I got a passport check in Italy, which I found very, very weird, because the passport check should happen in the UK not in Italy, but that time I got the passport check in Italy and in the UK, and it was really weird to me because that happened only in Italy.
