We found THE REAL ROMANIA in MARAMURES

Maramures is a gem of Romania. We stayed in the most traditional place yet and enjoyed the local life, explored the famous wooden churches and had a "laugh" at Merry Cemetery. Yes, it's all here, in this video.

Greetings from Spain. Romania is one of the most beautiful and authentic countries in Europe. I have many good friends from Romania since there is a large Romanian community here in Spain. The only thing is that many Romanians do not see the value and the beauty that many other foreigners see in their country. They prefer to leave for other lands and abandon their country because they think the grass is always greener somewhere else (like Spain for example) when in reality the Grass is much greener in Romania. They should invest in the future of their country or else it will never grow to it's full potential if everyone just keeps leaving. Romania is like the Cinderella of Europe, absolutely Spectacular but surprisingly underappreciated.

[@adigheju7921]

Thanks brother for your words. You are SO, SO right!

[@Adrian-dn6lw]

Well,not all the Romanians are leaving their country and some of those who are leaving they are planning to come back . I work in London as a nurse for 5 years now and ,I’m 27 and I know I miss my country every single day I’m there . I will come back to my country very soon !! ❤ gracias hombre

[@BROo554]

People leave the country because of corruption and human rights abuse .it's much more complicated than you think

[@sertyuhg]

I would say that some Romanians that left are starting to see how special their country is. Romania also did get much better. We left in 1996 and my mom just returned for retirement in Romania. We own real estate in the country and i will probably retire there as well. Since i only visit once a year i really see how the country is changing for the better. When we left it was common to see street kids huffing paint fumes, stray dogs everywhere, mean nasty people that never smile, dust and dirt everywhere, bad roads and overall depressing environment. Now it is a very civilized, clean country with more modern thinking people that are slowly leaving behind the crutches of communism. I am pleasantly surprised

[@rahelatudorie]

I am from Romania and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this video and for highlighting the best of Romania: the kindness of the people and the beautiful and simple way of living that we have here. As grandmother Ana said to you “you are a kind lady and he is a kind man”, I definitely agree with her. You’re one of the most authentic KZbinrs (storytellers). Very grateful for everything you do! Keep up the good work and God bless your beautiful family! ♥️🇹🇩

[@ledoutrip]

Because I was driving a little too fast here, the vehicle lost control when I was in the corner, and my car crashed into the ravine. During the two days of dealing with this matter, the people here warmly helped me without asking for compensation. , I really feel the kindness and simplicity of the people in the northern mountainous areas. I will come again in mid-October next year to thank those who have helped me!

I am now, here in USA ,for about 36 years, but I never got something similar in America.USA is a great country ,but people are not as they are in Romania.

[@Popyrpopy2312]

All the wooden churches are there because Austria and Hungary, which ruled that territory in the past, forbade Romanians to have stone churches like all of Europe. So, in order to keep the faith alive, the Romanians bypassed the rule and built wooden churches.

[@ramona5366]

Ana told you, in the hug moment, that you are a good person, a good heart. She has right.

That grandma is happy because she live in village that she was born. That kind of people never could live some else... But most of sure is sad because she's nephews are go in big city or maybe in some country in west of Europe so she see it so rare... Most of sure your family remember her family.... You are nice people, a beatiful family and we thank you for showing the world how amazing Romania is.

[@danielagheorghe262]

You really make me cry when you meet the "grandma". The way you connected with each other even tho you didn't know the language. The lady treated you like her relatives that she didn't see for so long.

[@andreal2891]

[@am7148]

[@ppn194]

Ai impresia , că Lenka a pronunțat Săpânța sau , mai degrabă, Sapanta ? Lenka e cehoaică, iar fonetica cehă față de cea română sunt mult mai apropiate decât oricare dintre cele două față de engleză. De undeva a prins, că S din Maramureș este un ș... Iar dacă ai avea o ureche versată, Breb pronunță Brep, pt că în cehă (sub influența limbii germane), consoanele sonore la final se pronunță surd: b > p, d > t, g > c

[@familyontherun]

Thank you! It means a lot! Usually, we are so off with the pronunciation so it's nice to hear I did a good job☺️

[@ppn194]

@@familyontherun Lenko, ty jsi Češka a česká fonetika je daleko podobnější té rumunské než té anglicko-americké. Musím Tě zklamat, ale pouze Maramureš jsi vyslovovala dobře a snad to, že u Casa Colț jsi vyslovila C jako K a ne jako C česky. Jinak Colț se čte Kolc (psáno česky). ă a â v názvu Săpânța se těžko vysvětlují písemně, ale rumunsky určitě nezní Sapanta. ă můžeš vyslovovat jako indefinte article like in a book. Máte pěkné filmy, a hlavně nemáte předsudky , kterými trpí 70% české populace.... Tak šťastné cestování dále.

@@familyontherun Hi, my friend! Greetings from Bucharest Romania ! I love Czech Republic!

[@doce7678]

@@familyontherun You will find the same Romanian soul in the Czech Republic, Vlach Moravia ( Valašsko) It is a region in the east of the Czech Republic, a former «Popular Romania» possibly founded between the 10th and 17th centuries by Romanian shepherds who settled then on the border between Moravia and the Kingdom of Hungary. In the 10th century, the Hungarians drove out the Vlachs (Romanians from Pannonia and the Carpathians) and took their lands. In the city of Roznov (this name also exists in Romania) there is a Museum of Wallachian Culture and Civilization, which houses numerous collections and unique pieces from the residents' heritage. The development of tourism in Moravian Wallachia led to the emergence of a fictitious "state", called the Kingdom of Wallachia popularized in the Czech and Slovak mass media.

Great video! But you missed one ICONIC thing about Maramures: the folk music, which is utterly original! Basically one guy plays a guitar with only two strings on it that you don't even need to make chords on (you just move one finger up and down the frets), and he strums like ONE chord for an entire minute, then changes it to another chord for 15 seconds, then goes back to the first chord. It's the most punk rock thing I've ever seen. And yet it is paired with one of the most rigorously skilled fiddle playing styles ever invented! And then maybe the guy with a guitar, or some third party of any gender, will join in and sing or shout. It really is utterly unique and quite a treat. And it only comes from Maramures.
