Visiting a Gypsy Flea Market in Romania🇷🇴

Visiting a Gypsy Flea Market in Romania
Join me as we try and visit a market in Romania, just to be told that we cannot film.
We then move on to a Gypsy Flea Market and agree on an escort to follow us around whilst we meet the locals and see what weird things are for sale.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central & Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakusky and join me as we visit this Gypsy Flea market in Buchares Romania.

Wohooo such a nice video! Greetings to my favorite neighbors from Bulgaria!

[@J.E.E]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 👍👌

I went to Sofia and Rila Monastary years ago

[@neilfoster814]

What a great video Justin! That market is just my kind of place! I regularly go to a similar market in Krakow (if we ever get to meet in Krakow, I will definitely take you there). That stonking great doughnut thing was a meal in itself, and the cafe food looked delicious too. Enjoy YOUR journey! 👍👍

The funniest thing is how everyone under 50 speaks English!

[@dee74raz]

This must be the first video where Justin could not speak the local language? 🧐

[@J.E.E]

Let's try and fix that🤣

[@johnday2971]

Romanian has a lot of shared vocab with French and Spanish. I bet Justin could learn it very quickly.

[@J.E.E]

@@johnday2971 Thanks for the vote of confidence mate👍

[@CesaresChannel]

@justineasterneurope did you eat all of that food? It looks good but wow, that’s enough to feed 10 people 😁

[@J.E.E]

Hello no🤣🤣🤣 But I was struggling with choice though

[@stormbytes]

This is gonna sound nuts but I would fly to Bucharest just to try those desert pastries.

Hello mate, Here is a link to the place, enjoy!!! Bazarul cu Amintiri - Targul Valea Cascadelo g.co/kgs/nt1Ci4

[@jolibambi01]

Hello 😊 what is the name of this flea market on the suburb of Bucarest ? Is possible to reach this place by bus or taxi ? And is it safe for a woman travelling on is own 😊 thanks for your help

[@SabihNawab70]

For me Romanian is known for Nadia Comăneci and Nicolae Ceaușescu.

[@shutyourmouthnow]

and lots of gypsy everywhere :))

[@Zdamaneta]

@@shutyourmouthnow that's just propaganda, per capita for example Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Slovakia have a higher percentage of gypsies and Hungary similar to Romania, so basically it's just propaganda created by western media and vloggers like Justin who come here only to film gypsies and gypsy places. We Romanians are used to this kind of propaganda... it has to do with the name confusion Rom//Romi/Roma/Romani/Romanies aka Gypsies vs Romanians as well.

[@shutyourmouthnow]

@@Zdamaneta nice one :) First, how many Romanians love manele? Now let me tell you something: all that people who listen that type of music are gypsy or mixed (at one point in their family tree someone was gypsy) Now you gonna tell me ''but what about gypsies who listen to Bach or any other genre than manele, are Romanians?'' ''NO!" I'm gonna answer to you. They're people who chosen the evolution. Second, have you seen ''white gypsies''? Blond hair with blue/green eyes? Perhaps the percentage it's smaller in comparison with other countries, but it's based just on ''clear gypsies'' and mixed aren't introduced in the poll. How do I know this? Because I'm Romanian too. It's nice to defend Romania (because it's amazing geographical and have amazing people) but not regarding gypsy/mixed or political because both brought us a bad image over the borders. And yes, lots of gypsy everywhere because it's almost impossible to not meet/see at least one. wherever you go (they might be minority but for sure they're spread everywhere ) This doesn't means it's bad/dangerous (I'm not trying to be a racist or other craps) but it's better to be cautious BTW, it's rrom not rom

Japanese Justin...? HaHa.... He needs some glasses my friend...! Greg

[@lot6129]

How much was your BIG breakfast>?

[@J.E.E]

About 30 euros👍

[@dee74raz]

I wonder why filming is banned in some markets in Eastern Europe? 🧐

[@lot6129]

Because other Europeans will see where their goods have ended up lol

[@J.E.E]

I guess I. Some countries, where people can getoffensed by it and sometimes aggressive, they stop you to avoid any trouble

[@pasaniucdaniel4112]

@@J.E.E It isn't legally banned, but people are just worried for their privacy, as you can't guarantee to someone anything about what will you do with the footage after you leave. The security guards just want to prevent complaints from other customers, they don't guard any secrets in the supermarket :)))

[@alinpetrus356]

In Romania, if it is private property of public utility, they can ban it if they want. The law is contradictory, but they can do what they want on their area.

[@Marlene-qm7qc]

Where are you from Justin??

I was born in London and spent my Youth in Florida, and for the last 25 years travelling around Eastern Europe. 😃👍

Why on earth were woman in the red parka and dark blue one following you?

[@J.E.E]

No idea, but the only way I was allowed to film was the escort!!!

[@ab-ux4zz]

Is not a gipsy flea market mister speak no bad

[@Zdamaneta]

I was 100% sure that you gonna come to Romania only to mention gypsies and film gypsies and horrible gypsy places while in other Eastern European countries no mention of them.

[@J.E.E]

Hello Marcus, My channel is centered around a theme which is related to local life, cuisine, people and culture, and I always make it a point to visit a food market and a flea market if there is one. Unfortunately I was asked not to film at the food market, in spite of my attempts to try and convince them to allow me. Had that not been the case, I would have made 2 market videos with a completely different vibe in each one. As for the Gypsy Flea market, unlike some, I do not find it a "horrible place". I had an amazing time and respect the culture immensely as I do with all historical cultures and traditions. As for other countries that have large gypsy populations, they don't seem to be as well integrated as they are in Romania, therefore not so apparent when in the city. Although I have mentioned it in a Varna video when I was walking to a market there. Another point to make, is I never produce a video with the intension to offend people, I share my experience, as it unfolds on the journey. May I ask what it is you found "horrible" about the market, to the point that my sharing it made you so uncomfortable?

[@Zdamaneta]

@@J.E.E Gypsies are not integrated in Romania at all unfortunately, they are segregated and they keep living in their own culture, reason why you see them begging, pickpocketing and sleeping on the streets in the most touristic places in the world or in Romania they live in their own villages and ghettos. I would say Gypsies in the Balkans are the least integrated while in Spain, Turkey, Western Europe and even in Central Europe they are much better integrated.

[@0xe849]

@@Zdamaneta gypsies does not want to integrate no matter where they lives. I am telling this as a Bulgarian. We also have alot gypsies here and the government is trying to educate them, give them a job, but they have just prefer to not learn and work. They don't want to have boss or working time! And why should they when the government is giving them money monthly for every children they have, noone is pushing them to pay bills for stolen electricity, water and etc.

[@Zdamaneta]

@@0xe849 yep, same story here in Romania. Unfortunately that's their culture and as long as they grow up in it there's nothing we can do about their integration.

[@0xe849]

@@Zdamaneta yep :) Germany was trying to blame Bulgaria and Romania for not integrating the gypsies until they invaded them and saw that noobody can integrate them. That is why they remain silient for the last years and don't give us advice how to integrate them.

[@markstill515]

A lot of Romanians I’ve worked with reckon Ceaușescu was a lot better than what they have today

[@RaduRadonys]

Do you work with 60+ years old Romanians?

[@gytisk6998]

Justin needs to practice some Romanian, a bit rude not to try at least a few words

[@shutyourmouthnow]

he went on a gypsy market.....they speak rromani language, maybe he'll learn for when he'll visit cool places, not Bucuresti market

[@J.E.E]

That would be great!!! Unfortunately it is not realistic to learn every language of every country you travel to! A different attitude may help the tourist economy though, make your guests feel welcomed... I do my best though

[@pattynellis7347]

I don't see a Lithuania video

Related to the fact that during the construction 7000 people died, it is a lie, there were accidents but more than 5 people died there were not. My uncle was a batch chief engineer there, this figure does not exist.😂😂😂👎👎👎

It says in Obor market no filming, you're expecting that everyone knows English in the flea market and its not true. You're acting like a know it all and you really know nothing for visiting Bucharest so many times, it's pretty insulting to the locals
