    You really managed to capture the soul of Romania. Congrats for the video!
  • I love Romania and Romanians, the most friendly people in the Europe. From Poland-Warsaw.
  • @yuksel1981
    I am writing from Turkey. I went and saw Romania. Romanians are wonderful people. The person who made this video is definitely a prejudiced and anti-Romanian person. She tried to present Romania as a primitive and Asian country and the Romanians as a primitive people. All the villages in the video are Gypsy villages. Likewise, people who are spoken to are gypsies, not Romanian. Supposedly there is a Romanian video, but there is no Romanian in the video. This is a disgrace.
  • I'm sure it was hard, but you really managed to pass through and avoid the best parts of the country, our cities, and our attractions and instead headed straight for gypsies, stray dogs in the countryside, and some of the nation's most destitute people in some of our poorest areas. If this video was representative of Romania, you'd imagine we're a nation of destitute gypsies (some who are soon to be rappers or manelisti), accordion players, gamblers, and old folks selling random stuff in empty markets, before going to sleep in Ferentari or our country homes where we live 8 to a bedroom next to our stray dogs. Even with the Monastery, I'm genuinely impressed that you managed to pass through a region with a huge amount of medieval monasteries and fortresses, avoided them, and instead chose to focus on one of the most unremarkable on a remote hill. 10 mins of googling would have provided so many of stunning examples. You filmed stray dogs, empty markets, a chapter on poverty, a chapter on Ferentari (because our most well known ghetto is of course deserving of a chapter in this tourist documentary of Romania). Then, as the cherry on top, in the thumbnail you hilariously photoshopped an image with gypsy watermelon sellers on top of an image of the People's Palace and slapped a big white "Romania" label. Its genuinely so insulting it's hard to believe it's not a parody. I can't imagine that this had anything other than malice behind it. Please, next time, don't come.
  • @kesirien
    Excuse me why did you decide for Romania to focus so much on the poverty and bad parts? None of your other videos present the Poverty in Albania or Italy, or the bad parts of Cities like Rome. Yet half the video for Romania shows poor people and bad living conditions when Romania is the richest country in the region(recently surpassed Hungary in GDP and purchasing power) and Bucharest and other Romanian cities are some of the safest cities in the whole of Europe. You are being manipulative and reinforcing prejudices.
  • @bardhylbuzuku8640
    l am from Albania l like it so much Romania ❤ Big respect for all people Romanian🇷🇴
  • @doruvlahu3365
    Am impresia ca daca nu filmeaza cu predilectie tigani , caini si locuri dezafectate , nu se face vlogul . Au ajuns la palatul culturii din iasi si nu au filmat nimic din interior . Depinde ce impresie vrei sa lasi ...
  • @DrCharlesApoki
    Romania is one of the best places on earth. Welfare packages the government offers to her citizens are very good. I visited Constanta in 2012 when my son graduated from medical school. My 3 sons got the best qualitative education from the most prestigious Universities in Romania. Education in Romania is very affordable but qualitative. Internet connectivity is one of the best in the world even in villages. My grandson is Romanian. My daughter in-law is extremely beautiful, intelligent and respectful like most Romanian women. Am Nigerian and I love rural Romania. Its like paradise. I like their humanity and simplicity. The Romas or gypsies have always fascinated me from childhood when they lived in caravans in different nations. No nation is perfect. Romania is exceptionally wonderful. God bless Romania.

    Greetings to our romanian neighbours from Bulgaria 👋
  • Romania 🇷🇴 is my favorite country in the world. I visited in 1997 and 1998, however I didn’t get to see all these places. Wonderful 💐 👩🏼
  • Sunt parțial Român. Trimit dragostea și respectul meu fraților mei de sânge. ❤️🇷🇴
  • @LiviaDuval
    Next time I go to your country I’ll make sure I point out all the poor areas and the most dangerous. PS Romania ranks higher on safety then the west.
  • @smit5590
    Romania is on my bucket list. It's such a beautiful, unique, and peaceful country. You guys seem to so kind, sweet, genuine, adventurous, and positive humanbeings. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿💖💖😊😊
  • @1jurinko
    We love Romania. Good people, nice land, awesom history!! All best from Slovakia, romanian brothers.
  • @tudorcamelia
    I am from Romania, currently living in Sibiu. You actually showed in the video the worst parts in our country. There are a lot of beautiful medieval cities, smart people, educated people etc.
  • @kday6085
    Hi Nicole, you did a great job, by showing us that you were in fact decided to show only not so bright side of Romania, and a good master of distortions. Good job in distortion! Although it looks like a friendly documentary, in reality is not. But hey! Congrats! You know what I like about Romanians and Romania, that they are unique indeed, and despite of poverty and many difficulties, (historically, and economically) , they remained friendly and hard working. For example, they treated you very well, although Austria had a long history of plundering many parts of Romania, and most recently stealing and chopping the forests. What a pity that you didn't do a doc about it. Next time, do a doc about how the wealth of Austria is based on stealing and plundering the countries. Tchus!
  • The video that denigrated Romania and only highlighted poverty and underdeveloped communities is a blatant example of media bias and manipulation. By focusing solely on the negative aspects of Romania, the video seeks to reinforce stereotypes about Eastern Europe and perpetuate a narrative that is both unfair and harmful. The video fails to acknowledge that Romania is a country with a rich cultural heritage, a growing economy, and a vibrant society. This kind of one-sided reporting is not only dishonest, it is also damaging. It reinforces harmful stereotypes about Romania and Eastern Europe, and disregards the many positive aspects of the country and its people. It is essential that we remain vigilant against these kind of biased and manipulative narratives, and work to promote a more balanced and objective view of Romania and the world as a whole.
