Bucuresti is the first illuminated city in the world. 1847 Timisoara city in Romania is the first electrified city in Europe. I don’t know why they don’t teach anything like this about us in the west. And we’re never a Soviet country
To bad u missed a tone of things from Bucahrest worth visiting , maybe next time if came back ^^ Ro as a whole beside Bucharest has a tone to offer overall , def worth visiting .
That’s right it isn’t, but then again I didn’t say it was. I was talking about the whole wider conversation we had. Happy New Year to you too and thanks for watching🙏😊
I'm so jealous travelling around Europe like you are but I will as I've said before stick to this country. It certainly was a lovely day must of been nice to have a coffee and watch the world go by. I hope things are better for you on your next train journey. ❤❤
I've actually been back in Blighty since 21st November - takes time to edit these videos you know ; ) Just booked a nice little UK adventure for the week after next. Hopefully make a few videos out of it...
@JonDoesTravel O yes video editing is a long winded process my son use to do a fare bit of it along with mixing music at a purely amateur level. Hope you are having a relaxing time before you go on your next adventure
Thank you 😊 Yes I do know that. I was extremely tired in the video and was in a bit of a daze at the time. Several weeks of non stop travel can do strange things to your brain 😉
The worst and most brutal city in Romania is Arad City because it ia covered in nihilism. Literally you are mentally forced by social pressure not to think or feel anything in here.
@claudiuflorea2090 u shouldn't make fun of other people's pain... this city is full of nihilistic people who force you to feel nothing like themselves.
@@mariaelenafoote4819 Being able to sense or feel the "vibe" of a place or its people shows that you're highly perceptive and in tune with your surroundings. It’s actually a skill many people value because it reflects empathy and awareness of cultural and emotional atmospheres. When you travel to a new place, you're exposed to a different energy-whether it’s the way people interact, their values, or the pace of life-and it’s natural for sensitive or intuitive individuals to pick up on this. It’s almost like tuning into the collective energy of the environment. Have you experienced this before?
@@emye7983 No I certainly didn’t think it was a village and I am perfectly aware it is in Europe! But if you have travelled as widely around Europe and beyond as I have, you learn not to take certain things for granted - such as English being widely spoken to a high level..Just try going to Chisinău for example (which happens to be next door to Romania)…
@@margelatutrandafirulgalben3156 Haha thanks. If I do it’s only because I speak Spanish, Italian and a bit of Portuguese. All romance languages like Romanian.
It’s a beautiful country! ❤
Hope you enjoyed my city!
I did indeed thanks 🙂
Come in Maramures to show you around 😊
Would be cool. Next time I come to Romania maybe : )
Romania is a beautiful.. country...dear....❤❤❤
You are the one that chose the budget option...
@@crisanmot0 Yes and?
@@JonDoesTravel 18Euro a night is very cheap I wouldn't complain.. That's all, enjoy your travels.

Welcome to Bulgaria! 🇧🇬
Welcome to Bucharest
@@corlanmaria264 Thank you 🙏
It is ubiquitous to put a sentence "not as I expected" a video title, but what did you expect ?
@@plonss Didn’t expect such a good level of English in cafes etc, didn’t expect it to feel quite so Western European, etc.
@@JonDoesTravel The level of English is indeed surprising in Romania, and also in some neighbouring countries like Serbia.
Bucuresti is the first illuminated city in the world. 1847
Timisoara city in Romania is the first electrified city in Europe.
I don’t know why they don’t teach anything like this about us in the west.
And we’re never a Soviet country

Of course I saw more than what was in the video, but rushed for time anyway. Would love to travel around other parts of Romania some other time.

Have a great trip!

Not to like it as much 😉
@JonDoesTravel We are Central Europe after all, but even today after 35 years since The Berlin Wall feld, people are still calling us ' East' 🙂

Bucharest is most beautiful city in Europe after Paris. Cause its the Little Paris.
But what did you think, Bucharest was a village?We still live in Europe!!
Better inform yourself before making a video😮

NU ai văzut NIMIC din București, doar vecinătatea Pieței Unirii (Palatul Parlamentului).... Ești grăbit? WTF?
Yes I was in a hurry (as I mentioned in the video). Had to get the train to Moldova that evening…
@@iulianfulger8351 That is also why I called the video “First Impressions of Bucharest” and not “a guide to Budapest” for example…
