Those two (were there three, there weren't three, were there?) boys are the only living souls under the age of thirty (or twenty) I've seen in your Moldovan videos. And the young ones seem to be speaking Romanian. I wish you would have spoken to them, I mean, just to ask where all their buddies are, or why they're not at school (if they have trains and what not, surely they've got schools in the country). That's a disaster (economically speaking) though, having the youth of a country speaking a different language (although, back … at a bus station in the Capital, if I'm not mistaken, I saw a flyer for a social/political event aimed at the well-heeled elderly - I can just picture Judi Dench poking about the ruins of the Național (Hotel))… Oh, and, yelling, "hello???" down old abandoned Soviet bunker-shafts, aren't you just setting yourself up for some nice nightmares?

@@Ukitsu2 Yeah, I understand/speak both Russian & Romanian (I've done more than my fair share of traveling, myself - probably more than Baldr at this point, but he's certainly catching up) but at 8:50 (well, basically throughout his videos) Baldr’s got his version of Russian going, but the boys are clearly speaking Romanian, not Russian at 12:00 ("acolo stai și te uiți la concert" / "you sit there and watch the concert"). But to my ears it sounds … 'Russified'? I hear a heavier than [my] usual 'e' in their speech. I know what they said, but to my ears, I heard something like … "achuolo staiy șiy tie wuiți la conciert" (which is a horrible mangling of spelling, but, as I said, that's what my ears heard, phonetically). I'm very aware that it's probably just an accent thing, the way most people from Texas would likely understand every word of English I spoke, but they'd say I sound different because I have a British accent to their ears. Baldr seems to have a preference for quick trips the east - apart from Iași & Bucharest, most of my travels [in Romania] have been from the northwest (think Oradea) east to maybe Sighet, then south towards Sibiu / Craiova and back to Oradea via Reșița & Timișoara by car. I take trains to Bucharest, and I take planes to Iași. I've never driven myself to those two cities, but I am familiar with them. I think I've accumulated about five years in Romania by now. It's my go-to place when I want to retreat from "the real world" and just drop off the planet for awhile. I'm unfortunately too posh to go where these videos were shot though, because in all honesty, I am a skinny 6½-ft tall bean-pole of a human … I'd be lying if I said the idea of just dropping into completely unfamiliar territory (that's partially in ruins) doesn't intimidate me. It certainly intrigues me - but look at him - he's built like Dwayne Johnson! I'm built like Timothée Chalamet, except about 10 inches taller and probably 10 years older. But not one ounce heavier. The only things I have the power to intimidate are scarecrows because one look at me gives them anxiety attacks about their job security!

Bald, love your content. What I find so amazing is the contrast you show between Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, and those left with whatever that is after the fall of CCCP. There is corruption within all forms of government and, ,as you stated, it is the peoples of the villages, towns, and small cities who suffer the most. As for those of us in large cities and metropolises, political corruption is more easily concealed within social program/manipulation and such. Great channel, amazing content, keep this going. I am fascinated with content of Moscow, Kyiv and Odesa. Cheers

Be careful exploring abandoned underground mines/buildings. They can be filled with carbon monoxide, which you can't smell. You don't feel the lack of oxygen so you end of passing out and dying. Dangerous stuff.

[@romteni]

[@regshara]

romanteni so what are the other things?

[@McDinglefart_69]

@@regshara assfuck

[@skunkjobb]

I don't know if carbon monoxide is the largest danger, there can be a variety of dangerous gases or a lack of oxygen as a result from oxygen being consumed by the decomposition of organic material and rusting. Carbon monoxide is a possibility but it would not be wise to carry a meter only for that, you need at least one sensing both CO, combustible gases and oxygen.

[@scottjohnson921]

You are only going to get Carbon Monoxide poisoning at the bottom of a tank or vessel where the gas sinks to the bottom and cannot escape. Fact.

Tom I was more leaning towards the attitude the English have of “why do the Welsh speak Welsh” etc it’s part of culture and many people’s first language, plus when brits go abroad Brits are infamous for not indulging and respecting other cultures

[@welshwizzard8209]

@MrCushcam that’s not true, how do you know what language they were speaking before you were there, Welsh is many people’s first language especially in Gwynedd and Anglesey and prefer it to English. Perhaps if you were taught Welsh too in England it would increase the patriotism and give people some culture to be proud of again and to have a form of communication that is unique like other countries
