Adventure Elliot is a bilingual travel vlogger (English and Spanish) with a particular interest in the Spanish speaking world. I enjoy taking adventures - big or small - and my goal is to show the Spanish speaking world 1 video at a time.
The goal of my channel is simple yet complex: I want to document and share authentic & educational content of anything related to Adventure Travel, Geography, & Language in the Spanish-speaking world. It's kind of a loaded topic, but it allows me to never exhaust my creative outlets. The truth is, I've always been extremely passionate about what I'm doing on my channel, but I never properly documented it when I started adventuring as a younger man in my college years. I've made over 150 TH-cam videos in both English and Spanish, and I have aspirations to make 1000s more. If that sounds interesting to you, join the community and follow me along the way.. After all, we're just getting started.

GYPSY GHETTO SPAIN:
Problems in Spain’s MOST DANGEROUS Slum (I Regret Going!) 🇪🇸

Hi from Bulgaria. How you not was scary you to go in the gheto? I write to tell you historical all spanish people are actualy bulgarians. And we have same colors flags and the lion is in Spain. And gipsys are actually indians from India but they not knows this.
What you have shown is a terrible insult to Bulgaria. You showed a gypsy ghetto without referring to it as such, as you did in your video of Spain. It was correct to write a "gypsy ghetto in Bulgaria", because there is nothing Bulgarian here !!! Greetings from one real Bulgarian !
Try going there without being able to speak Spanish...
Eliot where do you think is more common see gypsies, spain or bulgaria?
fakulteta - perfect documentary-
As a Bulgarian living in sofia i am so glad i can finally see how fakulteta looks like without risking my own life 😅
LMAO! xD
@@cymaticCS
I don't understand your comment. In what logic / connect are you offending atanasvlahov5186?
LoL indeed 😅😂 me too
same! i have never been, and i will never go. i value my life and not-being-raped too much! 😂😂😂

Аз опредлеено мисля че е по-важно да се мисли за разрешаване на циганския въпрос и премахването на тия гета вместо да им се смеем. Аз съм на ясно че психически слабите хора винаги търсят смеха ,защото просто не издържат на натоварвания, но в крайна сметка България е наша родина, а не на циганите и да има места на които Българите не смеем да ходим, защото чуждонародници останали в родината ни от османско робство на сам са превзели родината ни е нелепо и тотално лишено от справедливост. Въпроса е че на никой не му се занимава, а точно това е което трябва да се направи и то трябва да стане от уста на уста, от тема във ФБ, Туитър, Инстаграм. Аз винаги поставям този въпрос. Приканвам и всеки друг да го прави. Въпроса е че една птичка пролет не прави. Но въпроса най-малко трябва да се адресира за да достигне до общонационално равнище.
Аз лично имам ли власт бих направил нещо с циганите. Дали ще урдея транспортирането им обратно в Пакистан или преместването им в резервати не знам , но със сигурност няма да ги оставя по начина по който са сега.
Bulgarians are grateful that you showed us how Fakulteta actually looks like. 😃
Ahahhaha true!
more like depressed.
Yeeeessss I would never go there hahahahahah thanks from me to
Was in Sofia all Sofia is depressing
I'm getting more and more curious to travel to Bulgaria. I even started learning the language. Something is calling me there
I'm Bulgarian and i want you to know that in Fakulteta, in your case, there was thin line between having good time and have worst time. Trust me, only camera and fun factor saved you from getting robbed or worse.
And being a foreigner
Agreed.

Bulgarian here. You guys really have guts! Once I was biking with a friend and we wanted to get into Faculteta but the police stopped us at the entrance and said: If you enter here you will be walking back home (if you are lucky) . We were with bikes, know what I mean :)
Question is....why did you WANT to go in there?? Are u nuts??
The same happens to you if you enter Gary, nearby Chicago! You get killed there !
They went there for they are flamenco gypsies from España!
I'd fight
Even Nazi Germans dare not venture into this part of Sofia. No wonder there are still a lot of Romanies living here.
We the Bulgarian people would kindly ask you to welcome more gypsies in your wonderful country.
Ha ха ха
Absolutely! I vote with two hands for that! :)
da se mahat malko ot tuka che mnogo stanaha
I support that so much :D
According to some historic documents, when Gypsies first came to Europe and tried to settle centuries ago, they were often killed or not allowed to Western European countries. Eastern Europeans, on the other hand, gave Gypsies refuge and tried to integrate them into society. The emphasis remains on TRIED.
I admit you have balls. I grew up in Sofia and i've never been to fakulteta. For reasons :D
Не си бил понеже си женски полов орган,няма място в бг на което да ме е страх хахахаах...
Because you were instilled by your stupid parents that gypsies only steal and rob and lie, which is not the case, we are well-intentioned Christians who have a moral price system of yours
Какви причини 😂😂😂
Расизъм ли??
Виж човека не знае две думи български и се оправи,бой не яде,черпиха го,никой не го закачи.
Ти причини имаш,причините са във теб, семейството ти и обществото което те е научило да мразиш и да се страхуваш
А че българина няма топки е ясно на цял свят.
Няма какво да се хвалиш със този неоспорим факт.
Same here
Same
This is not a Bulgarian ghetto, but a gypsy ghetto in Bulgaria! It makes a big difference!
Isn’t gypsy not a good word to use? You can’t say Romani?
@@samtron5000Gypsy is an English name for the Romani people.
true, absolutley
@@samtron5000 Yes, Gypsy or Zigane
@@samtron5000 this is far better than what they actually deserved to be called. stinky vermin useless people.
Really enjoyed the video! As a Bulgarian, you need to have in mind, that every single one approached you with an attempt to take money from you and they were constantly talking between themselves how much money can they take from you. I think the reasons you were safe were the video camera, for one, they are very scared not to go on tape whilst doing something sketchy and second, you really cought them off guard. Considering nobody ever goes there, who is oustide their community. Also, having a buddy is also a good thing for these places.
Agreed!
Yeah if he was alone with no camera...good luck
Maybe surprisingly but completely not true, basically only one guy asked for a couple of pounds and everyone else was just being positive for the most part I mean even the fam with the small shop didn`t want any money for the beers and we are talking about "every single person". Of course ppl were trying to bargain about the horse ride I mean offering them free money for a something that doesn`t really have a market value - would be stupid not to go high 😅 Also they started at 20 not 50 but the language barrier was an issue - should negotiations started at 20 would have easily been a 5bgn ride with basic knowledge of the language and a couple of jokes 😄
@@e2ek1ellthey scared that’s why cowards
Bro thats not true,have u EVER walked inside of gipsy neighbourhood wth are u saying. Im a bulgarian aswel ive been in many gipsy neighbourhoods,in Vidin,Varna,Bourgas,Plovdiv,Sofia they are always really nice and there were only a couple gipsies that tried to make money from him (for the horse). Gipsy people in their neighbourhoods are really nice,what u just said u say it reading from the internet and watching BTV,not from personal experience. Dont get me wrong,i dont like the gipsy people,but u literally just lied and u also lied they were all trying to scam him,its a shame u come here to post such a coment.
This is not a BULGARIAN GHETTO ! This is a GUPSY GHETTO in Bulgaria ! There is a MASSIVE difference !
whats the difference lmao
@@mikeryan4552there is a big difference
@@mikeryan4552two brothers one of them forgot gipsy language 😂😂😂
@@mikeryan4552That we are Bulgarians, and these are Gypsies. You're one google search away from finding the difference.
@@mikeryan4552 Well, the only difference is that genuine Bulgarians would never live in this lifestyle.
Only gypsy live like that, it is their ''culture'' you know, and their ''culture'' is known worldwide to be like that, nobody else lives this lifestyle, they insist about it, they are proud with it, and they demand to keep it that way.
Every Bulgarian would be critical to such lifestyle, only a genuine gypsy would advertise it as their birthright to have such lifestyle.
That's a huge difference, don't you think?
I was touched by the part where the shop keepers gave you free beer. It's good to see humanity being kind to one another.
It's called a sign of good will
Я сам с Кавказа (Дагестан) меня тоже удивило это качество болгар, у нас тоже точно такое же гостеприимное обращение к гостям. Мы с вами в этом так похожи 😮
Sadly Bulgaria doesn’t have kind people
@@Pearlsrat How did you conclude that, based on what kind of experience and facts?
I love it! I am Bulgarian and admit I never even thought of visiting Fakulteta! Never the less your adventure showed me that Fakulteta is way more safe to visit than many neighborhoods in the city where I am living, New York!
👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Дори циганските махали в сравнение с Ню Йорк са безопаснни и миролюбиви 😂😅
It's definitely safer than a western ghetto and likely about as safe as London. Less stabbings maybe per capita
Hi, Elliot. I'm from Bulgaria and I've just noticed your video about Fakulteta. It is actually a ghetto, but not as dodgy and dangerous as foreigners would think. People who live there are in fact nice and friendly. Apart from the outskirts, the modern part of the city is also worth visiting. There are also beautiful villages around Sofia which are not dodgy at all. On the contrary, they are very beautiful. I live in one of them. I hope, you have had a great time in Bulgaria in the winter. The country is more beautiful and green in the summer. Estás siempre bienvenido en nuestro país! Cheers :)
I went to many videos and you’ll see them in the next videos.. thanks!
I'm Bulgarian, but I don't see it this way. Bulgarians are dinosaurs to each other. We play nice to Western Europeans or American people because for sure we don't have uneducated and unintegrated gipsies to take the population. For the people in these videos, there are no laws. They can kill you for just two leva, rob you and if you have a female with you assault her.
They don't go to universities and colleges to study. At best, they graduate from middle high school. They are richer than most native Bulgarians because they mostly do fraud and robbery business. A large percentage of their houses are built illegally and yet there's no law for them.
If everything was beautiful and friendly as the person who writes above, there wouldn't be immigration from Bulgarians. There is a reason why Bulgaria is the fastest-shrinking country in the world. Many left for the money and many like me to meet good people, not Bulgarians.
If you notice why every house you see in Bulgaria has a huge 2-meter wall with no sight of what's inside. Compare to UK short walls below 1,50 meters. It's because either to prevent robbery or to prevent talking by other Bulgarians. Jealousy is a huge factor here. The mentality of Bulgarian people is not to achieve a better life, but to heat their cold hearts with others' misery and suffering.

Bulgaria is not a good place to live. It's not Sunny Beach, Varna, Albena, Pomorie, Sozopol, Nessebar, Bansko, Pamporovo etc. that you see in tourist ads. It's a harsh place to survive.

@@jc8060 yeah, then America came over, destroyed our economy, spread their values, LGBTQ, corruption, etc.. and we're back to Medieval times!
he as an American cannot call any other place "dodgy". At least there are no Fentanyl zombies roaming the streets...yet.....
Wow! Guys, you're so brave 😄 I'm Bulgarian and I've been living in Sofia for something like 25 yrs, but I would never ever dare go to the Fakulteta. I'm glad that you've received such a warm welcome from the locals and that you were able to leave this place safe and sound. It was very entertaining to watch.
Are you crazy you do not see whats going around in europe bulgaria is one of the safest countries in europe.stop presenting it like its dangerous
@@efthymioszagkountinos7379 My comment was not about the country in general, but about this district of Sofia in particular 😀 Sorry, if that was not clear. Fakulteta is basically a ghetto, this is not a regular neighborhood in Sofia, so very few people visit there.
@@efthymioszagkountinos7379 It depends. I mean in Bulgaria if you get robbed by gypsies they tend to just take the cash and they don't tend to show violence if you don't resist and most bulgarins don't report these crimes as it is very difficult to locate the thieves as some of them have no documents or identification and it is just not worth the hassle for like 10-20 EUR usually so it does seem the crime rate is lower than it is. On the other hand Bulgaria has a very small population compared to other EU countries like the entire country has close to 7 million people while London alone has nearly 10, so naturally the crimes will be in severely less numbers compared to countries like England for example just based on the sheer number of people plus as the other person said it does depend a lot on the districts. So all in all yes there are not that many crimes or grape or murder but pickpocketing and thieving is something that does occur quite a lot.
Наивността няма нищо общо със смелостта.
I'm Italian, I've been living in Sofia for more then 5 years. I can def tell you this is not Bulgarian ghetto, but a gypsy slum, same one that you can find in any other Eastern European city. You need to be/look more relaxed when you go in to this kind of places, they could really tell you were genuinely scared from your body language, they could tell you were only saying hello not to show respect, but because you were scared. Anyway I'm glad that you were 2 people and not one, that probably prevented them to come kidnapp you, but hey anywa you have balls certainly no one can say the opposite brother. 👌👌
Hey man, look at the Gypsy slum I visited on my most recent video in Spain.. I wasn’t nervous in that one
Wake up dude. I would certainly rather around anyone in Fakulteta than around you.
@@ZWorldArts no, no, you better stay abroad. FOREVER.
@@bear1431Why!
@@jinankalo9386 Eh why not!?!?
This is essentially an autonomous zone inside Sofia. The law enforcement doesn't have (isn't allowed) much reach in gypsy ghettos. The possibility of something bad happening is large. And the fact that the police will most likely be unable to do anything, or at least anything in time, makes it even worse.
But today it's OK they are receiving more than many other peoples
I liked the hospitality of the couple who offered you two free cans of beer, in rich countries they charge highly and exact price to the last penny. ❤ 👍🙏
Me too I loved it
@@AdventureElliotjust to have an idea - those are gipsies that found God and it's their tradition to give you food and in this case a drink
And they were constantly wishing them good health and God’s protection.
@@damirkonopka2095 one guy from the kebab shop, in his way out wished them 'God bless you' as well ❤. A very interesting place indeed 👏
Bro, you two got off lucky! I have been living for 20 years in a neightourhood next to the Fakulteto and I have zero positive experiense!
Thank God nothing bad happened and you saw mostly friendly gypsies!
what neighbourhood?
That's because. most Gypsies are friendly.
Definitely not the ones living where the guy was walking.
People always say that, but very rarely something bad happens and I follow quite a few of TH-camrs doing this and I have done it myself as well in Latin America in the poorest areas. You need to be careful yes, but in my experience most of the nice people were the poorer people.
Bulgarian here. As the others mentioned, Fakulteta is a truly exotic place to the Sofia non-Fakulteta (and non-gypsy) residents, so we all learn a lot from such documentaries. What I observed here, and am not surprised by is the attitude of the young people, who almost exclusively asked for money, without any substantial reason. Then contrast that with the a bit older couple (Ivo and "Chakai" :)), who had a store and had all rights to sell it to you but they gave you free (albeit warm) Pirinsko beers. There is this stark generational contrast, that is discouraging to me and signals for a generation that is sinking, it is disappointing. Georgie on the other hand spent time in England and took with him some westerner attitude and perspective - he spoke a very good English and was eager to talk and exercise the knowledge of the language, not bug you for money. I want all youngsters to be more like him, but if they are stuck in that place you see what direction it develops them towards. The video was a fun experience, but trust me, I was watching with a bit of anxiety as anything could happen in that "barrio"
What you saw was, except at the kebab place which is obviously business, that the Americans spoke about money first. You have no reason to think that the rest of the young people are any different from Djordji.
@@ZWorldArts , do you know Bulgarian language or you draw these conclusions from the subtitles?
Some comments about your own comments.
1. The reason you had a good time and were safe was not that it's a safe neighbourhood. Somebody already mentioned the camera and the fun factor. I would add being exotic and luck to that list. If you were a normal person just lost there, trouble would be easier to find.
2. You said the government has forgotten about this place and its people. Well most of these houses are completely illegal and unregulated. No taxes paid for them. The streets are not present in the official city map. The people only work illegally, so not only do they not pay taxes but they collect unemployment. There is only so much the government can do :) There are many people who escape the ghettos and integrate into society. After a generation or two we don't even consider them gypsies. The defining characteristic of the gypsy ghettos is the lifestyle.
Абсолютно вярно 👍!
Not to mention that they are the government buddies when the elections are coming for 50-100 leva pp they vote for whichever political party pays them.
Fun fact ..Everywere Gypsy lives looks the same. I am from Greece and we have same ghettos like this one
but greeks also are gypsy u know
As a bulgarian this video was a ton of fun to watch.
I’ve got other videos in Sofia
Бате, дай 5 паунда, че немаме кинти :D 😂
@@AdventureElliot
Yes. You find another country for your future videos. 10x you
За мен беше тъжно.
@@vivi67530
И аз това казвам. Едно беше тъжно, второ видеото е като гавра с България. Още от самото начало на видеото с това представяне на родината ни: "мрачна и дъждвона София, България, не е като слънчева Испания."
Този бастун направо си се изгаври с държавата ни. Имаше едно видео за България пак направено от чужденец където представи България чудесно, но по едно време на видеото си я сравни с Испания като каза: "като Испания само че много по-чиста и добре миришеща".
И го гледам сега този испански бастун направил тези видеа за България казвайки тези неща за България каква била мрачна, пък каква била еди каква си. А то всъщност е просто един по-мрачен и дъждовен ден. Той го изкарва като че България перманентно е такава мрачна, сива и навъсена.
Отделен въпрос е каква сме я закъсали с тези цигани и с тази кочина около тези цигански гета.
По света има мн цигани, но тежи живеещите в България ( те не са Българи, само така пише на паспортите им ) са най-ужасни, защото идват от Пакистан. Преди четири-пет години Индийската държава викаше циганите от цял свят да се завърнат в Индия. Щеше ми се тези "наще" да си оберат крушите и да изчезнат за там, но уви, знаех, че само си мечтая.
Greetings from Romania to our Bulgarian Brothers, don't let your selfes down because of those Propaganda Videos, WE LOVE AND SUPPORT BULGARIA. GLORY TO YOUR GREAT LAND WHICH IS BETTER THAN AUSTRIA.
Thanks brother ❤
Love you brother ❤
Thank you very much brother
W for you homie❤
Thanks, but I don't really hear anything bad for Romania in our news (besides being almost as poor as Bulgaria, but I heard worse things for my own country nevertheless)
Hello Elliot. As a Bulgarian, nice work I'm glad for your interest to our country even if it's in the ghetto of Bulgaria as you call it. Please do your homework, the Romanian are not romani people(gypsies). Two different words, the one is country the other is like ethnic-. Every country has gypsy people even Usa and UK. And also in Bulgaria we are too, speaking Romanian but Bulgarian people, not gypsy. They are many words and meanings you can wrong. Love and respect for all countries and ethnics❤
I am ethnic Bulgarian, my family has lived in Sofia since 1913. I remember when I was a little boy my grandmother took the wrong way by car and entered Fakulteta, the local Gypsy people showed us the way. Then I personally went there several times without having any problems. It's true that there are sometimes more harms about some of these people there...
You’re a big boy now
Хора като хора. Баба ми живее на края на малък град. Съседите са цигани. Има и богати, и бедни. За 60 години съседство нито са крали от нас, нито сме се били. Един път един циганин се напи, тръгна да дрифти с колата и ни събори дувара. После си го ремонтира. Нашите пък им блъснаха кучето с колата, защото не го видяха. Нищо не казаха хората. Баба им дава яйца и мляко. Те и режат дървата за зимата. Т'ва е. Ако не беше бруталната стигматизация, отдавна щяха да са се интегрирали. Както отново и отново и отново се случва в родната история, само нас си можем да виним.
Fun Fact - "Fakulteta" does actually mean "The Faculty" in Bulgarian ;)
Those people who gave the free beer are so heartwarming. Talking about Jesus and how they don’t want money from them for the beers. See! Not all Roma gypsies are bad in this area or in general. Definitely beat the stereotype!
I will subscribe just because u did a vid for Bulgaria . Thank you. I'm not a gypsy but I am not a racist as well. Everyone deserves a chance ! Good job ! MORE !
Thanks, I’ve got other videos in Bulgaria and many other places.. check out my Spain videos :)
@@AdventureElliot Could you stop tarnishing Bulgaria, please. Do not believe you are anonymous. How long do you believe you can insult our nation without somebody to get nervous about your racist slander?
currently watching this whilst on holiday in bulgaria, love the country, friendly people and a beautiful country
Man, you are brave! You probably didn't get robbed only because you were there in the morning and because locals probably through you were crazy and got stunned. 😅 You can see the disbelief in their eyes.
Big like for the unusual video. 👍
Как си позволяваше да наричаш хората крадци.
Ти видя ли някой да краде, че пишеш тези глупости.
Ти знаеш ли какво е в родината ти, там където си се родил, от дете да си подложен да дискриминация и расизъм.
Ако не знаеш какво е, не съди , хора за които нищо не знаеш.😠
Na bro if ya going to get robbed you’re going to get rob.
He maybe on their side, see, he agreed to advertise them for two beers.
It is not co-incidence that he advertises them as nice and civilised. Must be some kind of propaganda, as see, nobody buys it. A bunch of disagreements underneath this video, and he is still censoring the disagreements, stinks like Marxism.
Just out of curiosity, why don’t you have one of those translator apps on your phone? Just imagine the good conversation you could have if everyone understood each other. Enjoyed the video, it’s good to see how people live half way around the world.
As a person from Sofia ive never visited fakulteta and im seeing some new stuff from you😅
You probably are the only brave enough tourists to go there
Dude I'm Bulgarian and I live in Sofia. Your journey there was so fuuny. I understand perfectly what they say and of course what you say and it was... very funny. These people live there whithout any papper for any property, but instead tends they have or at least some of them cool new houses from bricks. 😅 Imagine if anyone could come and build anything whenever and wherever he likes. Of course it would look like this.
You are insane my guy. As a Bulgarian living in Sofia all his life, i wouldn't do this
Why? He blends right in.
When I travel, I personally love to stay in places like this for longer, than some overpriced tourist trap and resort areas. In such areas you can actually see real people and I personally enjoy gritty vibe.
Wow! I am amazed how brave you guys were going straight ahead into that places. I am Bulgarian and I am afraid going there just because it is really really dangerous. And the young boy wich you were chatting in English was a big surprise for me. 😮 Definitely I will wait seeing more videos of strange places like this from your channel!😊
A small secret from me. When the electricity panels are down on the pillars, it is still kind of soft area. When you see them at the top of the pillars, then you must have entered the real bad area. Just because they steal the electricity.
I am a Hungarian and we have some regions where you should find just the same ghettos. especially in the north-eastern region. Was great to experiance this.
Wow! I'm glad I watched that video that was very educational, and entertaining. Awesome video! I just found your channel because I've been considering moving to Bulgaria, from the United States. I really enjoyed this. Thank you it was good work.
The lady and gentlemen who gave them the beers and good advice about a translator. Seemingly having virtually nothing but yet generous to strangers 😍
I was there in 2008, as a 18y old dumb teenager. Me and my friend covered us as 'journalists'. We were welcomed by the young kids and older generation. But as time proceeded the tension with 'the in between generation' was getting too much. We sort of ran out of there, luckily not bitten by dogs :)
Nice video bro, Ivo and Giorgi seemed like decent fellas. I love how you said 'bad fame', directly translated from 'mala fama' presumably 😂
Haha man you know how my brain works at this point being bilingual 😂
i just came back from varna and sofia the people are brilliant over there i'm so happy you shared your experiance i'll definately go back
If you have a good heart, Bulgarians will be nice to you. It is a very special place. Great video. 🖖👀
Bulgarians are so kind...I really enjoyed watching your video
it is called Fakulteta , bc there was a military school there , and it had faculties like school faculties

The store owner couple are touching my heart..🥰
As an American being many times in Bulgaria, Romania and not only I gotta teach you some basics. Gypsies or Romani are not coming from Romania but from India. The name Romani is not coming from Romania, which comes from “ The Land of Romans” but from their goal to reach Rome during 9th-11th century. As a leaving India tribe struggling to reach Rome, they called themselves Romani, from Rome ( English) = Roma ( any other language). Romania has a 2 pct gypsi population but Spain and Hungary has a much larger one.
Also as an American you should stop playing superior to some European communities when we have the worst communities here in ol’USA, plus the largest homeless community in the world.
Bulgarian and South eastern European looks same as Asians. 🤷

@@markdean1984Sorry if it hurts your feelings but it's true.

7:45 an Albanian flag there in the Bulgaria's slums... that's crazy. Most probably an Gypsy from Albania might have moved to Bulgaria.
I greet you with all respect, from Romania for our Bulgarian brothers
bg friends ? ? :D :D :D , this is fcking jypsies bro...
The reason why in America a ghetto like this is extremely dangerous is that everyone is armed and they are not afraid to steal and kill you...here no one wants to rob you because they do not want to end up in the Bulgarian prisons .... believe me, those prisons are hell holes. Those who rob without care are junkies and here there is no such thing...
DUDE, why the f did you do this to youtself. Fun that an american had to come and show me (a bulgarian) how fakulteta looks. Thanks a lot:D:D
No problem man.. watch my other Bulgaria videos :)
Great video..
Amazing that those with the least are so willing to give things away..
Respect to Bulgaria 👍
As a Bulgarian im never even going close to the fakulteta im surprised bro didn't get robbed or jumped
Fakulteta is what Western Europe will look like in 2050...
💯 Right
France and Germany 2023 look like this now...
Not really.. Keep in mind that no Bulgarian gypsy wants sharia and such stuff. If Western Europe doesn't take action soon, it will be worse than in Fakulteta
😂😂😂
@@Hello__Hi Not quite, but we get more and more people of such kind.
Greetings from Cologne, Germany.
Woow this was so interesting 😄 I am from Varna, Bulgaria, in Varna we also have big gypsy neighbourhood called Maksuda, I would never even think to go there to explore. You are adventurous and more importantly, not prejudices. The thing is that, they are people like all other, with different culture, they understand life just for fun and living for the day. I don't blame them, but most of then are highly undereducated and can barely write. During the communism time in Bulgaria, all the gypsies went to school, we treated better, the government made efforts for them to behave and be normal integrated people. Nowadays there is a huge gap between bulgariana and gypsies, it is kind if sad, but explainable in the same time.
Аз също съм от Варна и навремето, само веднъж бях ходил с автобус 23 до Каменар, като бях дете на около 14 и исках да видя от любопитство какво представлява едно тяхно гето.
Беше ужас, трябваше да се върна пеша към града (слава Богу, че разстоянието не беше голямо) и за да ме упътят циганите, искаха 2 кинта, а тогава автобуса струваше 60 стотинки.
Тия са големи късметлии!
the "chakai " lady wasn't telling you her name, she was telling you to wait. she was trying to facetime her son who speaks english lol.
Loved the video, even thought you were in one of the shittiest places in Bulgaria you kept a positive attitude and didn't say a bad thing about anything. Keep on keeping on man, god bless.
That’s the attitude you have to have
Bulgarian people so kind with good heart ❤️
Interesting video 🙏👍🌎
My father is Bulgarian, but I am wary of Roma, not discriminatory. This is because my mother's side is Japanese, and in the past there was an incident in which a Japanese female university student was murdered by Roma Romanians. It is true that there are many good Roma people, but I feel it is a little irresponsible for foreigners to promote only good things to the people living in lawless areas.
Amazing video I’m Bulgarian and now I wanna visit faculteta haha anyway with Russian in Bulgaria you would be able to communicate only with the old ppl and not even they can speak they can basically u understand. But young Bulgarians speak mostly English or German.
Talking about people can't speak language , bro you can't even type right .Not in english ,but in any language..кво си тръгнал да лафиш е маймуно, ти да пишеш не можеш! трябва да викнат Монк да реши мисерията кво си написал.
I've never met a Bulgarian who doesn't speak Russian at some passable level
Кой ти шляпа немски,само англииския и това е...
Yeah, we thought German and thought we would be fine with my clarinetist who's a native speaker but NOBODY spoke German. We had to use my terrible French.
Please come back in here but in the summer it will be so much fun i really want to see u there. I appreciate that u was in our neighborhood. And i hope that i see you in my street where i live. I love the video i enjoy it soo much...!❤️🙌🏻btw im Gipsy and i live in the neighborhood ❤️
Hello, im a gypsy from finland, we dont have places like that where all gypsies live. Is it dangerous there? What is the most dangeroust thing
I have been to Bulgaria and had nothing to do with this video.Bulgaria is very beautiful place
My other videos show the good sides of Bulgaria
Thank you, Burbery 777!
So far your Bulgarian "arc" is so great.
Some of the dudes you were talking to I could tell were so conflicted between robbing you and trying to understand what you were saying😂😂Amazing you managed to get away with all your shit
to be honest, most of the people were nice to you because you take pictures and they get scared of the camera, but in the faculty it's really dangerous, most of the people wanted to take money from you
Oh my God !
Are they still doing that .
I haven't been to Bulgaria for ages .
So many pickpockets !
@@voskreglavincevska7080
Still doing it,bulgaria didnt move even an inch from 1990s😂
@@theoneandonly8504
Exactly in that 1990 my daughter was small girl .
We had some relatives from my father in law side for diner !
I told her to watch after small very nice spoons because they are all bulgarian burglars !
On the end when they left our house he told me !
Mother , they took two spoons only !
Ha ha ha
@@Xaw312
Good luck Bulgaria is still in the 1990s i live in Bulgaria dont lie...
Very nice video, so interesting place that you have showed to us the whole world. Thank you
The people there are super friendly and nice. Nothing to worry about
Im from Bulgaria and you guys are kinda lucky you didnt encountered with some shady and nasty people as there are plenty of them in this shithole. Great video tho.
That's like going to a Detroit hood and saying - Here is an American neighbourhood
As you can see,even in faculteta there’s no any homeless people. On the streets of Sofia too,something which is much better that American states
And streets
Great point
Because the climate doesn't let them, if by mistake they fall asleep on the street, the next day they find them completely frozen... there are no undergrounds,holes, or bridges where to live and the houses are expensive, there are no abandoned or empty houses. The poor who want to work can ask the town hall for a plot of land and build themselves a room or a small home but the majority who do not have a house live with relatives, in Bulgaria 85% of the population has their own house.
Elliot, I wonder how you feel after reading all the bad comments from Bulgarians about this neighborhood . I do hope your tour wasn't really that risky! Anyway, the video is very enriching and revealing! I've learned a lot. Good luck!
As a person who lives in Bulgaria , i never traveled to Sofia only once . I live in Kozloduy because it's small city and has so many shops
i really dislike how misleading these kinds of videos tend to be. privileged, pampered tourists (no insult meant whatsoever) going through objectively *dangerous* areas, coming out safe (which is not a surprise, since opposite to what people believe, being a smiling, friendly tourist will generally bring better treatment in slums than if you were a native/resident!!), and then having the audacity to claim "it's not that bad." yeah, dude, it's not that bad when you have camera plot armor and you don't live there. but the second you're a native Bulgarian it gets significantly more complicated than dipping your little toes in and saying "yeah it's not that cold"
As a Bulgarian, I'm a little sad that most "ethnic Bulgarians" think that the dude was just lucky not to get robbed. You admitted that you never went to the Faculty, but you find it hard to believe that the people in the neighborhood are different from your stereotypes - friendly and calm. I've been to some Roma neighborhoods and I've always felt both sad and safe at the same time. Sad because of the misery and our attitude.
Thanks for you comment .. I went there because I knew it wasn’t dangerous. If it were too dangerous I would’ve never done it. Gypsies are nice people.
Romania just
Bad in general
Shit ton alcoholics
Go film in Marseille's "Quartier Nord" for example Cité Felix Pyat...ahah
The interaction at the Beer stand made me smile.
Those people who gave him the beer were so sweet. You can find nice people all over
You are wtih big balls to go there guys, most of us bulgarians are creep out of that place.
Im glad you have done some Bulgaria videos, im planning a trip there in a few weeks, I am flying to Istanbul and getting a coach into bulgaria and up the coast to Varna. I really want to see the stray dogs too.
Gracias por otra aventura, aventura Elliot 🎉
Hola amigo. I also went to varna and the Black Sea.. you’ll see in the next videos. Good luck on the trip
@@AdventureElliot Ah really, nice, I will look forward to those, it will give me some ideas of where to go.
be carefull if you go in a places like that one, if they are outside Sofia.
@@КрасимирИванчев-ш6д I don't know mate, have you seen outside of London these days 😂
@@wendyHew it is like to walk on a powder covered track.. ))
my god what a terrifying video while simultaneously most of the people seem completely sane even cheerful , but the place must look completely different when the weather is dry and with blue sky , but the visual of the "ghetto" and the gloom looks absolutely like the definition of desolation , 12:13 omg every human on the earth is watching youtube 17:51 omg the Bulgarian people have nothing but they are so sane
Why go to a ghetto in Bulgaria when you can see the same thing any city USA....
Bulgaria like many eastern European countries was never given the chance to fully develop as it was caught in between greater powers. Imperial Russia first then Ottoman turkey and austria hungary etc. Its Brave warrior nation.
FINALLY someone who understands well
bulgaria is free more than 150 years so do not blame another nations like turks or russian bulgaria like this because u are so lazy
A very nice video🙂.....if you visit the Balkans more often, try Serbia e.g. Belgrade is also a very nice city and people are nice as well as in Bulgaria
I am appalled that you still haven't changed the title of the video. This is an illegally built Gypsy town (not as dangerous as advertised), not an ethnic Bulgarian gettho. In fact, there aren't any Bulgarian getthos in Bulgaria.
Please, don't ever come to Bulgaria again.
Gipsies in Bulgaria have traits from India, not Romania. They just classify them as the same, but they’re totally different. Their languages are too different and also their skin colour is different than the ones in Romania
the only thing that saved you was the fact their curiosity about you as a foreigner overshadowed their usual instincts of trying to secretely pickpocket you or straight up jump you.
that and the fact it was daylight.
Yes horse riding is my dream ❤ thank you for sharing
For romanians, even them romanis it's something normal to migrate to Spain or Italy due to the cultural legacy that we have with these people... We can learn italian and spanish in just few months :)).
You are confusing Romanians (Europeans) with Romanis aka Gypsies (Indian people).
Romanian is a very similar language to Spanish, Portugese, Italian and French but not the gipsy language Romani sib which is very different from most European languages as it derives from India. I could understand lots of Romanian when I was there because I spoke french and knew some words in Italian and Spanish.
Hey I'm Bulgarian and really enjoyed your video. I just wanted to say as a heads up that the big glamorous houses in somewhat of a Baroque style belong to usually very wealthy Gypsie families, so I don't recommend sticking your camera and filming over the fence as you never know how someone might react to you filming their property. Also some of them are very dodgy so take care and proceed with caution
Thanks for the info on the houses :)
@viktorparvanov8863 Gypsie Baroque houses? HAHAHHAHA u must not be well
@@sro331 its a poor rendition of a style that was usually tied to money, the style of these houses can be categorized by Gipsy baroque which is a quite common saying. We aren't talking about the poorly constructed sheds here as you might have misunderstood, but the big marble like houses with Roman pillars. its a complex artstyle of decorating which cannot truly be put in a single place because people want a good looking house. Education isn't really readily available to gypsies as well so aesthetic becomes more important than the contemporary artstyle, that's is why I wrote in a "somewhat of a baroque style"
@@sro331 you have no idea nor prior knowledge to what I'm talking about and act superior, don't be a bitch
@@viktorparvanov8863 it's just gypsie slums, there is nothing fancy or complex about them; they work abroad, come back to generate garbage and weird loud noises, avoid paying taxes, don't speak the language and couldn't care less about you or me, so quit trying to fantasize or beautify something that is eating our society from the inside
What great people. So friendly.
Bulgaria is a nice country,of course it has some bad parts as well,just like any other country in this world. From Romania with love my bulgarian brothers!
What you have shown is a terrible insult to Bulgaria. You showed a gypsy ghetto without referring to it as such, as you did in your video of Spain. It was correct to write a "gypsy ghetto in Bulgaria", because there is nothing Bulgarian here !!! Greetings from one real Bulgarian !
The bloke is a jerk … report the video ! I live in Spain and was pissed off he did that video so bad too
Isn’t that racist? You’re European, of course you are racist
Bulgarian Gypsy chainsaw man doesn't exist he cannot hurt you.
Bulgarian Gypsy chainsaw man: 12:20
Very interesting video, I did enjoy it very much! But I couldn’t help but notice how many times you said “nice bulgarians, I can hear some bulgarian music here etc”. This is an entirely gypsy community with gypsy music, customs, lifestyle… which even often spoke their language…in fact they used bulgarian with you as some sort of an “official” language as they don’t know english. But usually between themselves they speak their gypsy language which is completely incomprehensible for us. True, they are very much part of the bulgarian society, we see them everywhere and they are people like people, but the feeling of “us” and “them” is absolutely always there. You met very kind people but some could be very dangerous as often they are uneducated and somewhat primitive. We don’t hate them, how can you, look how funny some of them were :)), but we’re just wary as sometimes they get really aggressive.
And one more thing… it’s slightly offensive to give to the lad with the carriage who took you for a ride some pocket coins… I’d probably get offended too! :) A tenner is a more substantial number, they might be poor but they’re not silly!
All the best, great video!
It applies to most countries: don't believe the propaganda. Go and see for yourself. Very nice and friendly people here. Great video!
Did you know that Mongolia, also uses the Cyrillic alphabet.
So what
@@G_Channel_G So, it's not just Slavic people, Asian as well.
@@MrMig1978 We know that 1/3 of the world uses Cyrilic and many countries. Not just Bulgaria and Mongolia. Suprised why u mention Mongolia exactly. The Stan countries do too.
@@G_Channel_G Something not widely known,Eliot mentioned some countries in the video,I thought I'd just add.
Great video was expecting Borat to come running out at any moment 😅
Very friendly people in the vid .
I will stick to Sunny Beach Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Very nice! Great success!
Im Bulgarian american . Ive visited bulgaria about five times. I've been to dve mogili , sofia , varna and another village whos name escapes me atm.
Anyway i just wanred to say it felt like i was there with you guys ! It was fun. This is how bulgarians are . Kind people who would give you the shirt off their back. Thank you for wanting to learn about the culture and people.
