Justine and Nika, two young people from Spain, set out to take some of the most controversial countries, and this is how Romania came. About Romania, the two knew only that it is a very poor country, having a huge crime rate, and the Romanians are very poorly seen in Spain. Only, to their surprise, neither Romania nor Romanians are just as their image is on the Iberian realm.
In the first part of the video, right at the beginning, Justine and Nika appear at Warsaw airport to fly to Romania. On this occasion, young people explain what determined to come to the country.
“Suddenly we are in Romania, one of the least visited countries in Europe. Very few people know how Romania is really. The stereotype is that Romania is a poor country, a dangerous country, and Romanians deal with thefts. Is it true? said the two.
Arriving in Romania, they were taken by surprise by the heat and agglomeration from the airport, but also from the streets of Bucharest. A pleasant first surprise had at the hotel. “It’s great for how much I paid“They said.
Less liked the communist building in which they were. “Well, the building, as you can see, is a bit old and I think this is from the communist era or something, right? Because it’s all of the iron. The door, look at the door. The buildings are super old. That’s all. Inside you can see that they were renovated, right? They are more beautiful, but on the outside it is … yes, it is … note that it is from the communist era. And look, the elevator comes and the rule says that you cannot go more than two people. I think it’s better one person. Look at it. Stay a little. I wait to see if I can enter. If the door does not fall over me (…). It’s scary. No, on their own, there is no room for more people. I mean, look, Justin hit the mirror. And here, that is, there’s nothing else, right? I am stuck to the lift ”they described the experience of the elevator of horror.
Delighted by Peleș Castle and Carpathian ridges
Young people changed some money to have a cash and explained the reasons: “In Europe we always use the card without any problem, but, of course, in Romania we will go through a small city and for any eventuality, it is better to have cash.”
For breakfast they chose a bakery in the capital and were delighted, and then they took it to Peleș Castle, who struggled to pronounce his name.
“The truth is that I do not know what to expect from Romania because I do not know much about it. I know it is very famous for its medieval castles and, as everyone knows, I imagine, the Romanians have a reputation, well, they speak discreetly because there are many people who are thieves, but in the end,” they said. Because, in the end, I think they are rather labels that they put on people. ”
Then the two arrived at Peleș Castle, and on the road they were impressed by the beauties of the mountains. “How beautiful it is. I have never seen how a medieval castle is like this. I had never seen it in my life. But now, to have it here, as wow, it is impressive. And it is not just the castle where we want to enter because it is said that it is spectacular. But look at this. Dracula’s castle ”they commented.
However, Romania continues to be one of the European countries avoided by foreign tourists. “Romania is one of the least tourism countries in Europe. And it is surprising because we are in the country only a day and it seems to me to be one of the top countries to see, without a doubt. It is very beautiful, it is not typical for Paris, Rome, Berlin, but it is as if one country has another culture and we are very different. they added.
Romania saw otherwise
After visiting the castle, a new day followed, this time in Brasov. And they had nothing to regret.
“And the city looks nice, isn’t it?“,”Yes, it’s great ”they discussed the two, conquered by the charm of the city. Also there, after eating, they met a beggar.
“It was merciful to that man, to be honest. She was hungry. And, well, if we had a little focaccia, at least I could give it. And we would get in a quieter alley because I want to talk about a topic related to stereotypes that people usually have from the country, but what I want from the country. And the Romanians are thieves In fact, in Paris, at the Eiffel Tower, it is well known for scams. they commented.
Sad truth
The two young people came to the conclusion that although Romania has a very bad image, and Romanians are viewed with contempt in the western European Union countries, perception is wrong. In reality, Romania is not the poor country that is talked about everywhere, and Romanians are not a people of thieves and beggars.
“The truth is that it is very sad for these people to know that there is a stereotype in the world or at least in Spain where the others automatically believe you, that you are, that you can be a thief, do not give you confidence. This must be very sad, and that is why I and Justin … like to travel, for you, Perception that is not real. Of course, I gave him a piece. France And Italy, in all the countries of the world ”, It was their conclusion.
