Bucharest people, as is the case in all major cities, including Romania, are rather a minority in their own city. The question that some of those who have moved in recent years have been transformed into a real debate on Reddit. And the answer to “How long do you become Bucharest?” found the most interesting answers.

The largest city in Romania, Bucharest, has grown in the years of communism as the brave story. It has been in a short time to have a population that exceeds one million people, but most of them were brought to the “golden age” in the villages and small provincial cities to work in the dozens of factories open in the Capital. Most of them and their descendants are considered to be Bucharest today, while others have chosen after 1989, given that most of the factories were closed, to return to their native places. However, in parallel, the capital has opened its gates for other and other people, who have moved over the past 35 years, most of the time in search of a better life.
If in London, for example, less than half of the inhabitants are British, for Bucharest there are no official data related to how many of the residents are Bucharest. But when do you really become Bucharest, if you already live in the capital of Romania? There is no official answer to this question, but there are hundreds of subjective answers, some of us, some more or less interesting. It was demonstrated by the posting of a young man on the Reddit platform, which was shortly after.
“How long do you become Bucharest? I do not know if there is any ideal for someone, but I still hear, especially for the holidays, the thing with the Bucharest people left and the city was released. This is how the question arises after how long you can reach Bucharest? Or is it something you can do in advance and automatically you will win the title of Bucharest?“He asked humorously.
The answers were tailor -made. While some sought to elucidate the “mystery”, others joked and had fun on this topic.
“When you know exactly where every subway mouth comes out of Unirii”, Someone answered. “All my life I lived in Bucharest. I go often by subway (which is right, to the Unirii I arrive occasionally). I still go out on a side other than I wanted”, Someone else replied.
“I know all the subway mouths from Unirii”
“I am Bucharest from birth. I confirm that I know all the mouths from Unirii”, Another contradicted. “And how many sewage mouths you have from home to the subway”, another took the idea further, but in jest.
“If you know you are empty that you are not Bucharest. And something else, necessarily when you want to land the Izvor Park to say” there near the Government “”someone else said.
“I am Bucharest, 28 years old, with parents and grandparents in Bucharest. I do not know where to take it on the subway at Unirii to go where I need to go, because I get to that area full of jag and buzzers every thousand years,” wrote another Internet.
“I haven’t gone by subway for years and I was born in Bucharest. And my parents. So it’s not very good by subwayL ”, there was another reply.
“I appreciate much more people from other cities”
Obviously, there were countless other answers to the initial question.
“Well, it’s good. As long as you go home in another locality, you are not 100% of the place. It applies to any locality not only Bucharest. Then, I think another condition is to feel that you have nowhere else to go if things go crazy. As long as you are 10 years old in the X, but when you lose the job and take debt to the houses, you go where you came from, from there you are considered to be. You are Ploieștean when (not to mention that it is related to B): You are born in Ploiești and you have the family in Ploiești. You are in Ploiești for a long time that you have no more connections with Constanța so you can run there to Belea. This may mean that you need to die your family there (parents/grandparents), because otherwise you will be constantly related to that place. To simplify even more logic. If you are Romanian left in Spain, when you consider yourself? About the end of your life, when you are 100% assimilated there and the knowledge there I don’t even know where you appeared but they just found you there and you were always there. As a note from a 100%Bucharestian, I appreciate much more people from other cities who have made a success of some success here. I lived with my parents until the day I moved to my house, not you home, you do not torment with rents divided by 7 people, you do not live with a package sent on the train train, reasonable material status not parents who gathered the belt to keep me in school in another city, more expensive than theirs. The people of Bucharest served it in Bucharest. If you are ever one from Bucharest you feel treated from one who is from here and feels special with this, you consider it like when the repeater of the class makes the class with the class. “ someone wrote.
“Only if grandparents and parents from both sides are born in Bucharest. Automatically at the age of 18 Nicușor Dan gives you the key to the city”, There was another reply.
“After the first sentence I think 90% of Bucharest are not” Bucharest “”, Someone was amused.
“If you need the vignette to go home, then with regret I announce that you are not Bucharest ”joked another.
“There are no Bucharest residents. Only Moldovans and Oltenians with old age”
“There are no Bucharest residents. Only Moldovans and Oltenians,” someone else was having fun.
“When you do not say” pfai, how much is 35 min to the office “, when you do not say” the spindle to the bottom “,” gumari “and” no, what do you do, sergiu, where do you hurry like this? ” Ah, and when you don’t say “I’m going to take a tram” and get on the trolley “, wrote a user.
Jokes of Bucharest ASIDE, I really do not see how relevance it has how long you become Bucharest. I think you feel in your soul what origin is relevant to you, for example I am born in Bucharest, my father is from Campina and I feel as “home” in Bucharest, and in Campina, although I have been in Ilfov for 13 years. And anyway, how important is it whether or not you are “Bucharest”? If you are 6 months old in Bucharest, but you have adapted to the rhythm of life and you like the city with everything you offer and you understand the good and bad parts, I think you can consider yourself “more Bucharest” than a man who was born here, but he feels suffocated and does not bear life here and is happier somewhere in a village with 600 inhabitants.”, There was another opinion.
“What would it be like if those outside Bucharest would not ask the question” Where are you from? ” In the hope that you can find someone from another locality so you do not feel off? This is something, but someone from Bucharest from an average family has no dilemma or problem with those outside the capital ”he wrote another.
“It depends on what kind of behavior you have, if you are obsessed with traffic then congratulations that you are Bucharest”, Joke someone else.
“If there was any other city in your question, what would have been the answer? I find it irrelevant how many years you live, how many generations of Bucharest people or any other BS. Important is where you were born and where you grew up. someone wrote.
“When you give up the complexes that all the provincials apparently have to be born here. When you no longer despise the city where you chose to move willingly”, There was another optics.
“The countries are advised to each other about when to give themselves to other peasants”
“You become Bucharest when reading this thread you will realize that it is a discussion in which the peasants advise each other about when to give up to other peasants that they are from Bucharest”, It was a killer reply.
“If you are born in Bucharest with a kind of residence there. Who gives good day to traffic lights, sorry …”, It was another point of view.
“You are born, you do not become. You will be a venetian kind, you may accept, a semi-Bucharest if you want. It does not mean that you are a sub-parish citizen, and if you are born in Bucharest it does not mean that you are better, they are just labels that do not matter. As desperate ‘when something awkwardly bothers you, but in front of churches to make a big cross as a day – you can be born in Bucharest, but if you are Gheteroi …“Wrote an internet.
“When you feel safe except in Bucharest and get you out of jumping to return to the hometown/city because they are idiots and lead that some robots ”, someone said.
“I am curious in what category I fit, I was born in Bucharest, I grew up in the province, I returned and I have a bulletin here”he wrote another. The answer came immediately: “The wandering son”.
“Two generations. Parents and grandparents. If you are not a cocked peasant. Go home,” It was a stinging reply.
“When you take it on the tram line, when you pass millimeter on the red (just put it). Throw in the street/garbage on the street. You use” right “instead of” hell “, you complain about the parking spaces (or as a driver that is too few, or as a pedestrian that you have no room for cars). Any above 3 -> You are Bucharest ”there was another omnitim answer. “3-4 generations would say Connoisseur ”was another opinion of the hundreds of Reddit.
