Hello Everyone! 😃We hope you're staying safe and healthy. This video was filmed before the lockdown. We're doing our best to work on our back log promise! 🤞For anyone new to the channel - stay tuned - we’ll be putting out more quarantine videos from the Philippines ASAP! ✌️- Anna & Trevor
WOW! I'm actually a Filipino world traveller who met my Romanian wife there in Sighisoara! Now we are living in London watching you with envy as you quarantine in one of my most favourite places in the Philippines! Stay safe and healthy! Greetings from us here in UK!
Sighisoara is such a lovely place. (Timisoara is another favorite place of mine.) Romania, as a whole, blew me away with its beauty and charm when I travelled around EU two years ago. I think Romania is one of the underrated countries in EU. Definitely a must to visit before being run over by mass tourism. :)
Yeah, come to Timișoara! It is the New York of Romania! Hungarians, Serbs, Germans, Romanians, Bulgarians, Gypsies living together, sharing their culture, food, traditions! I have always celebrated 2 Easters - the Orthodox and the Catholic ones, at times I celebrated 2 Christmases - the Serbian after the old Christian calendar and the Romanian one. Timișoara is the most western city in Romania, having Hungarian, Turkish, Greek, westerns influences! Here our differrences bind us together because we have lived this way forever! And it is a great!
Your video brought me to tears. So much harmony in the way you filmed. My country of birth is so beautiful, I realized after being in Canada for the last 24 years. I should rediscover it too. Thank you for this beautiful reminder 🙏
I was born in Sighișoara, and for me it's the most beautiful town in the world.I'm glad when I see the peoples who know appreciate such a beautiful old town.
I have been here to both places. I have been coming to Romania since 2007. Romania is so beautiful. Thanks for this video. You all did a great job. O I LOVE your scarf !!!
@@papaszem44 Hungary regained about two-fifths of Transylvania during World War II (Vienna Award; August 1940), but the entire region was ceded to Romania in 1947.
Sighișoara - you read it like this See-ghee-shua-rah. Hope this helps! Ciorba (the first meal) - Chi-or-bah. In Romania, onion and garlic are considered natural remedies for colds. We have lots of crows and pigeons probably more than Paris.
This seems to be such an enchanting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Thank you very much for showing the best from our country . Also Anna, you have a beautiful soothing voice. I like the way you describe what you see, eat etc
I think it's even more captivating during summer! It's a pretty cool place for us romanians to visit during summer vacations, too. I never miss the chance to pay a visit whenever I am in the area... it's a piece of history, a short travel back in time and a legacy for future generations.
In 1973 there were big floods in Romania, and what you've noticed as the "new" side of Sighisoara, on the river shores, was built after the old houses were demolished. I remember passing through the city two years later, and there were still many of the old houses. One could see that the water had reached up to the roof, and the walls were badly affected. Even as a child, I was able to understand the drama of the people who had to climb to their roofs and wait to be recued by helicopters. Many died, it was a tragedy. In schools were organized donation centers, I remember my parents and I going to donate clothes, blankets and food. Oh, that cemetery is the resting place of one of my great-grandfathers, Pantelimon. I do not know where his grave is, my grandmother was hardly remembering, because he died in the hospital, they used to live very far away. I do remember walking through the cemetery, though. Thank you, also, for showing so many images of the old city. I am from Brasov, and old buildings used to be part of my life for many, many years.
I love the structure and the colors in those house's, the colors reminds me of old San Juan in Puerto Rico' what a nice looking little town thanks for sharing!
So glad I’ve found you guys! Thank you for the really great content and also for being so considerate when trying new things and describing it 🎄❤️ hope you’ll get back for more Papanași 🦄
Wow! how delightful you guys look being under the weather and taking us along On your travels !! That yummy hot soup did the trick ! Glad your both feeling fine now ! Adorable town great video thank you ! Patty 😇❤️🌞
what a great video; thanks for putting this out. That's why I love Europe...cobblestone roads, architecture, people and ...FOOD!! I, too, am fascinated with cemeteries, what better way to see the history of a town! great job, hope you both are doing well :)
@@DelightfulTravellers I am from Romania, but from different side of the country, I visited this place in 2012. Now I live abroad and I miss the Romanian soups :). Hope you enjoyed, keep safe and healthy in the Philippines.
Sarmale. Mici. Drob, snitsel de pui, mamaliga cu brinza, varza calita cu afumatura, ciorba de burta.... Si multe alte bunatati romaneste care imi lipsesc foarte mult ca sint departe de tara.... 😳😟😥😥😥
all the time tourists are advice for Brasov( Dracula) Sighisoara....and so on..there are a plenty!!!! my country is sooo big.we have many,many beautiful and interesting places!!
I live now in Germany, but friends that I talked to, are fine. Thanks guys for showing the nice part of Romania, I hope you enjoyed it. I lived some years actually in the upper town / citadel area and went to the highschool that you found on the hill. So yes , those stairs every day for 4 years. 🤓
Sighisoara is my hometown. I love the city where I was born and I respect it. But those in power do not respect him because there is corruption. The walls are collapsing, the pavement has been sold and replaced with normal stones and many other things from which they could steal. I'm glad you like this place and you informed yourself very correctly! But still I think it should depend on the citizens to choose their leadership well to save our small medieval town, "Pearl of Transylvania". I wish you good luck in your travels!❤️
Great video, guys! I'm glad that you've enjoyed the country and I love the fact that you do a little bit of research (even if it's wikipedia) before you visit places.
I also tried to visit Sighisoara when I went to Romania last year but the commute from Sibiu was confusing so I didn't make it. It's on my bucketlist though!
Min. 7:36 - CIORBA = sour soup. Ciorba read as "Tschiorba". The name is of Arabic origin and it means "to drink" = yashrab. In fact, this word was taken by the Ottoman Empire from the Arabic occupied parts and changed into Turkish as "çorba", read as in Romanian. Romania being occupied by the Ottoman Empire for about 480 years, the Turks brought not only the word to us, but also the...sour soup. CIORBA is NOT dressed with vinegar but another kind of liquid called BORȘ (read as Borsh). It's simply water and wheat bran left to sour for 2-3 day in a worm place. In Transylvania and Northern Moldavia, they use to eat Ciorba with sour cream. SIGHIȘOARA - read as Sigishoarah. The wood roof over the 180 steps was built to protect the kids going uphill to the school on rainy or snowy weather. It looks like you guys missed the house where Vlad III the Impaler (Dracula) was born., now a restaurant. Nice video, informative.
I live in Romania (at the south of moldavia region) but never been to Sighishoara. What is interesting on that cemetery from what I see is that there are no crosses so I guess up there in the old times they weren't orthodox by religion. The crosses in a cemetery is a characteristic for orthodox people. 08:19 I heard that usually tarragon is used in food recipes only/mostly in Transylvania . Here in moldavia we don't use tarragon and I think I know why : its because its powerful perfume is kinda similar with the washing powder ' perfume so we need to be very careful on dosage otherwise the food will smell like a very scented soap. My family did such a mistake on the dosage of tarragon , added to much tarragon and as we are not used to this powerful smell we had to throw away the whole borscht food. Big like from Galatz. Edit : another reason why tarragon is not so used in food recipes in the south of Moldavia it's, maybe, because this plant is not grown here, I mean not mass produced, so it's kinda an unknown aromatic plant.
Well you saw it the wrong way, they are all just tombstones and crosses everywhere. Crosses are characteristic for catholic cemeteries, too. Of course you don't understand that, they are all German-Saxon crosses and inscriptions in German language, all with the names of the people buried there. And the Germans were all catholic in that area, just like the buildings and churches there, not in orthodox, but catholic-gothic style. I hope you understand now. Have a nice day!
Another amazing video!! Really makes us want to get back in the road! We had planned Turkey & Romania for March & April this year maybe next! Thanks guys again fabulous job!! 😍
I personally love the sour flavors in the soups in that part of the world :) I don't know about that soup particularly but I know some of them use pickle juice and it's so yum
By the way Vlad the Impaler was born in this City . Another fact about Romania . 98% of beverages spring water is used , like beer , juices ,sodas . The food is not GMO and not processed and taste like haven . People are frendly . If you stay to long you might get in love . So there is your warning .
174 Stairs till our amazing german Highschool up on the hill 🥰. Immagine going there everyday for 4 years. Torture 😂 Happy that you have had an amazing time! 🥂
I'm glad nobody showed you that side of Romania. We were under three empires because when they saw the other side of Romania, they wanted it for themselves.
I always seek out historic graveyards on my journeys. (Being respectful as possible to local tradition ) There is rich history on those old stones. I remember as a child going on a field trip to a colonial Connecticut graveyard in my hometown. We used crayons and cardboard to trace the info from the old gravestones, then later talked about them in class.
@@DelightfulTravellers Yes we are. Can't wait until we can explore the world again. I am booked on a flight to Germany in October. I figure 50/50 chance at this moment it goes forward.
Enjoy seeing medieval citadels... Hoping to get to this (eventually)... :) Zagreb has the upper (olde) & lower (modern) town setup also... But much less in the way of (obvious) walls / towers... Could do with some of that soup, weather here is cooling right off... (3.5ºC this morning)
We so miss Zagreb.. we've always said that's a city we could live in for a month or so. It was everything we like. Sounds like a chilly morning over there.. find some soup PP! 😅- Trevor
It is definitely one of my favs! Pronounced (Sigi shwara). Glad you ventured out to this country. One of the things I will mention that you touched on in a previous video is that customer service in the restaurants and stores are very much lacking in being helpful and friendly as a rule. But as a people they are a kind, giving and hospitable … hopefully in time more emphasis will be placed on the importance of customer service with regard to the tourist industry.
Just subscribed, you guys are awesome!! I found your channel through the Endless Adventure page. Looking forward to new content! Also really like your opening!
Hello Ana, one small suggestion: next time you eat Mici, don't cut it with a knife because you miss/waste the juice of it. Micii(plural) are finger- food; and...use less mustard on it to preserve the taste of it...😊👍
Hi guys greetings from Montréal Canada. I hope you enjoy your new destination and stay safe. I will retire in 60 days July 17, and will travel to my hometown in Chania Crete in October for the winter in my friends hotel only 50 meters from the beach in Agii Apostli ⛱☀️🏊♂️
What a quaint and creepy town all at the same time.lol A grave yard that dates back like that I have always found super interesting. It was awesome to watch you guys getting around pre-quarantine. Lol Stay safe
Creepy are you Maureen,you dont have in your freek country what we have here in Romania, and please try to learn more about everything,because we romanians are very prepared,educated,bilingual people,the smartest i could say,please dont be more stupid that you are!its an advice for you
@@cristinaionica3399 Well, I have done some researches on the inscriptions on the tombstones in that graveyard and I realized the ancient Romanian language was very similar to the modern day German language. Look at all those names, they all sound like German, just like the texts themselves. I thought Romanian is a latin language, i was wrong, sorry.
chorba, and Sighishoara. e have extra letters from the English alphabet, which actually translate into the sounds sh, and ch,. so, if you say church, try to say chorba! it is easy. cheers!
You've been here and i don't think you tried "ciorba de burta", it's freaking delicious! It's made of cow stomach, with sour cream, garlic, vinegar, spices... Mmmmm... Such a pitty...

We so miss Zagreb.. we've always said that's a city we could live in for a month or so. It was everything we like. Sounds like a chilly morning over there.. find some soup PP! 😅- Trevor

I am glad to see that You feel very well in my Birthtown.
👍🤝👍
Sorry for my bad Englisch.
It is definitely one of my favs! Pronounced (Sigi shwara). Glad you ventured out to this country. One of the things I will mention that you touched on in a previous video is that customer service in the restaurants and stores are very much lacking in being helpful and friendly as a rule. But as a people they are a kind, giving and hospitable … hopefully in time more emphasis will be placed on the importance of customer service with regard to the tourist industry.
I was just there, and I loved it! Would love to go back and spend two more days there
Just subscribed, you guys are awesome!! I found your channel through the Endless Adventure page. Looking forward to new content! Also really like your opening!

Hello Ana, one small suggestion: next time you eat Mici, don't cut it with a knife because you miss/waste the juice of it. Micii(plural) are finger- food; and...use less mustard on it to preserve the taste of it...😊👍
Thanks for the info!
Hi guys greetings from Montréal Canada. I hope you enjoy your new destination and stay safe. I will retire in 60 days July 17, and will travel to my hometown in Chania Crete in October for the winter in my friends hotel only 50 meters from the beach in Agii Apostli ⛱☀️🏊♂️
Enjoy retirement! We love Crete and have a few videos on that amazing island on our channel - Anna
Yes I started following your channel after your visit to Chania and I will follow in the future 💙🙌🌺
Good job

What a quaint and creepy town all at the same time.lol
A grave yard that dates back like that I have always found super interesting.
It was awesome to watch you guys getting around pre-quarantine. Lol
Stay safe
It's the cutest and creepiest place we've ever been all at onnce Maureen haha - Anna
Creepy are you Maureen,you dont have in your freek country what we have here in Romania, and please try to learn more about everything,because we romanians are very prepared,educated,bilingual people,the smartest i could say,please dont be more stupid that you are!its an advice for you
@@cristinaionica3399 you don’t sound educated writing this.. just saying!! Lol
@@cristinaionica3399 Well, I have done some researches on the inscriptions on the tombstones in that graveyard and I realized the ancient Romanian language was very similar to the modern day German language. Look at all those names, they all sound like German, just like the texts themselves. I thought Romanian is a latin language, i was wrong, sorry.
Sour soup good for a cold
It is Segesvár in Hungarian. What a beautiful town! Wow, on my bucket list now.
You have to visit this place at some point Aaron! - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Segesvár - Schäßburg - Sighișoara
@@DelightfulTravellers original name for 1000 years: Segesvár: seg, ség = hill, vár = burg; Segesvár = Burg on the hill !!!
It's pronounced 'chor-ba' (with roll 'r') :) (c in Romanian is hard C, like k, but with +e, +i it's the soft C).
the soup does not contain pieces of chicken but contain stomach pieces its a stomach soup is a traditional Romanian soup
Not that one. Check again it's chicken.
Te iusbec guys!

Hi guys stay safe always
