My husband is American. He came to Cluj for the first time in 2010 (when we met) and 4 years ago he moved here for good. Some people just fall in love with this city. I lived in the US for 8 years and all I wanted was to come back here LOL. For the next time you visit I highly recommend the botanical gardens and the events scheduled all year round. We have tons of them!
Oh we certainly don't blame you Diana!!! We couldn't help but feel a sense of home in Cluj. It's so similar to where we're from in Nashville with regard to really neat coffee/restaurants, excellent parks, & phenomenal night life. It's probably the most at home we've felt in Europe thus far! Thank you so much for taking time to watch our vlog. It seriously means the world to us & makes us want to return to Cluj with so many people being so kind to us!!!😊
Absolutely love the way you guys presented the city! Makes me feel great to be living here
These are the BEST kind of comments to us. All we ever want to do is make content that A) make the local people proud of their home, & B) encourage people from other places to visit. Cluj was an absolute blast to visit & hands down our biggest regret was not spending more time. But that just means we'll have to come back! Thank you so much again for your kind words & for watching our vlog! It seriously means the world to us!!!😊
I loved this type of videos! You never know what will happen if you go with the flow. Lol keep up the amazing work! I'm loving the more videos!
Exactly!! It caused for a bit of stress at times just because we like to have structure in our vlogs, but thankfully Hannah's editing skills made these hurdles look seamless!! This was such a fun day though. We're going to be in a lot of places through the rest of the year where we'll only have a short amount of time to explore so there'll definitely be more content like this coming😂 Thank you so much for your support Eric!!!
Glad you liked it and enjoyed it. Too bad you missed the many events that take place in or around the city. Imagine the East European view that some movies portray to be, and how it actually was. Have a nice trip!
Oh we learned that QUICKLY! We found out that we certainly needed more time in Cluj, & definitely can't wait to come back! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our vlog!!!😊
Bravo for a SINCERE AND HAPPY vlog of an EXCEPTIONAL place - Cluj Napoca !
Exceptional is ABSOLUTELY right!!! We LOVED Cluj!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our vlog!!!😊
Well it look's like you peeps enjoyed our little city, if you get the chance, come back cause there are far more too see and do over here, especially in the summer time! ( Major festivals and events that happen ). Much love!
Oh we definitely will!! We were really bummed that we missed out on visiting Salina Turda, & have heard EPIC things about the Untold Festival. We're already eyeing a trip back at some point. Thank you so much for the kind words & thank you so much for watching our vlog!!😊
Thank you for your videos! I'm also going to Romania in October
You will absolutely LOVE it!!! We miss Romania so much & are already trying to find a way to get it back into our travel plans. We felt like we went a ton of places, but honestly only really scratched the surface. Have a great time & thank you for watching our vlog!!
Your day was like a "Choose your own adventure" book! Loved it!
Love that! Yes, it was a very interesting day. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, guys! There are so many cities to explore. Try Oradea, Timișoara, Sibiu, Iași, Sighișoara.
Every single one of those cities are on our list of places that we plan to visit next time we come to Romania. I feel like we say this about a lot of countries, but we really mean it when we say we'll be back to Romania. It's got SO MUCH to see & do. Thank you so much for watching our vlog Alexa!!
@@ProbablyLost You are amazing! All my respect to you! Thank you so much! All the best! 😍🙌🤝
@@alexakay4648 ❤❤❤
Thank you for your trip in Cluj!
Thank you very much for watching Filip!! We had a great time and can't wait to be back😊
Hi.
There is a statue of Mathias Corvin in the city Square because he was born in the city. His father was romanian.
Watch out, budojszekely might come any moment now, he's gonna give you a nationalist hungarian lesson and give you some weird youtube links... 😂
@@Zdamaneta he identified as ardelean tho not Romanian, Romanian didn’t even exist back then.
@@dacian_1346 no 💩 Sherlock, of course he identified as an ardelean since Romania didn't exist yet 🤣
I love that song at the end. "...trying to find out which one you might be on, and why..."
YESSSS!!!🤣 We honestly sing that song all the time when we're just sitting in airports while we're bored LOL. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video Joseph!!!
It is the first time (and not the last for sure) I see one of your vlogs and I can say that I like the way you presented my hometown. Also you are a cute and funny couple :) and yes, you were right, you only "scratched the surface" so we are waiting for you two to come back and do another one :) Cheers from Cluj-Napoca 🍻
Thank you so much for the kind words Andrei!!! Our goal of this channel is to explore new cities & show what makes them special, while also staying true to who we are & not trying to come off as though we know everything about a particular place. We love having fun when we're filming our vlogs & that's always something we try and show! And MAN did we have fun in Cluj!!! We can't wait to come back & visit again. Thank you so much again for being so kind & for watching our vlog Andrei!! We're incredibly grateful for you taking the time to watch!!😊
I just arrived back in Austria, drove several hours from Belgium on the autobahn and was so tired I just wanted to go straight to bed but then I saw you uploaded another video and couldn't wait to see it. I wouldn't miss your videos for anything no matter how tired I am. I also use "Lens" on my cell phone, many people don't know this fantastic application that translates any language to English, so easy to use. Stay safe and until next time.
Eddy🤣 you're more than welcome to take the break to sleep though!! LOL. We're thrilled to hear you made it back home safely!! We'll have to check Lens out! As of now we use the Google Translate app but it's not always been the best 🤣 Thank you so much for watching & being such an amazing supporter of us!!!
@@ProbablyLost Microsoft Lens is a fantastic application, best of all it is a free download. I use it whenever I see text in a language I am not familiar with. So happy to be back home!
*KLAUSBURG (Cluj - Napoca ), It's wonderful, and you are both as always so adorable! !!*
Thank you so much for watching & supporting us Dan!!!😊
In fact is KLAUSENBURG.
Riding Flamingo on the lake? That's cool.
We felt like we couldn't pass up the opportunity😂 Thanks so much for watching John!
Hi Guys! Great video! Keep up the good work and keep improving you vlog. I would suggest to buy a camera with a little bit more "image stabilization", otherwise, watching the vlog on a big screen can end up make you quite dizzy :) Greetings from Cluj!
Hi Dan!!! You're ABSOLUTELY right. Our camera has in-body stabilization, but when we began filming that day, for some reason it'd been turned off. So we filmed basically all the way up to the climb to Cetățuia Park before we realized it. That's why after that climb, everything is MUCH more stable. And it's also why before we start filming for the day, we ALWAYS check to make sure the SteadyShot is Active😂 Thank you so much for the kind words & for watching our vlog Dan. It really means the world to us & hopefully we can make it back to Cluj at some point to see MUCH more!!
Cluj used to be part of the Austro-Hungarian empire until ww1 and Mathias Corvin's father was Romanian
Thank you for the background on it!! We'd seen a few different takes online as to who he was/where he was from/how he's perceived, etc. We just didn't want to say he was something & others see him differently ya know😂 thank you so much for watching!!
@@ProbablyLostand Cluj is the birth town of Mathias.
Romania didn't even exist then, and Transylvania was stolen from Hungary only 100 years ago
@@antisnowflake8618 just thank your lucky stars that we didn't keep Budapest for ourselves and turn it in another shitty Romanian town
@@antisnowflake8618 thanks professor but you Hungarians should have kept an eye on it if you didn't wanted to be stolen in the first place
Mathias Corvinus father Ion/Janos son of Voicu was a romanian noble according to the sources from that time, mentioning his father and himself as vlach (Romanian), and that they have roman blood in their veins. Mathias mother though, was an hungarian noblewoman and he was king of Hungary. He is from Transylvania which at that time was multi ethnic.
Romania didn't even exist then, Transylvania was stolen from Hungary only 100 years ago, and the Romanians have nothing to do with Rome, they are Slavs, writing Romanian history is a science fiction... All the historical cities of Transylvania were built during the time of the Hungarian Kingdom
A little correction. Mathias mother was German, not Hungarian!
Cool video
Thanks for watching!
I Love Cluj
We do too!!! Thank you so much for watching our vlog Dan!!😊
I was born in Cluj Napoca and left at the doorstep of an orphanage and eventually was adopted by my American parents through a foreign adoption program. I fully intend to some day return to my birth city and see if I could somehow find my biological parents. My hopes aren't high but I will do everything I can.
They have 5 star japanese restaurant in cluj the food is so tasty you better try it
We'll definitely add it to our list for next time we visit!! That was probably the worst part about our time in Cluj. We only stayed for two nights which is ABSOLUTELY NOT enough time😂 but hey, that just means we'll be back!! Thank you so much for watching our vlog & giving your recommendation Miles!!!
Mathias was an hungarian King, but his family was romanian. This happened because Transylvania was a hungarian territory back then
Thank you for clarifying Luca! We got a bit more detail on the history of the area after we left from some people on our train who were from the region. It's fascinating to hear about all of the complex dynamics that make that area what it is now, & how peoples opinions differ. It's something that we were never taught about in our education growing up in America, but is hugely important to Romania/Hungary. It just goes to show us that there's so much more in the world that we have to learn. Thank you so much for watching our vlog & giving us some background on this Luca!!!
His father was romanian, his mother hungarian.
He was the only king born in Cluj, that s why the statue
@@3dfxvoodoocards6 Mathias Corvin's father was János Hunyadi (Johannes Hunyadi). His father, Mathias Corvin's grandfather was Sigmound Luxemburg. Nothing vlach or romanian.
@@miklosgabor6637 Wiki - Ioan de Hunedoara / Janos Hunyadi: "According to most contemporary sources, he was the member of a noble family of Wallachian ancestry." His nickname was THE VLACH and his family lived in Wallachia, he just moved to Hungary. You hungarians just do not want to admit that one of the most important hungarian heroes Iancu de Hunedoara (Janos Hunyadi) was a romanian and his son Mathias Corvinus half romanian.
Loved the video! If you ever come back, i'll gladly be your friend and guide! Just give a heads up. Cheers from Cluj!
We will ABSOLUTELY take you up on that Julia!!! We had an awesome time in Cluj, even if the weather gave us a bit of difficulty🤣 If anything it just made us want to come back more. We already know we're going to visit Romania again because there's still so much more we haven't seen, but we've heard amazing things about places outside of Cluj as well. It's such an awesome place. Thank you so much for watching our vlog & for your kind words, it truly means the world to us!!!😊
You have to visit Brasov too !
Oh we certainly did!! Brasov is actually one of our favorite cities in Europe. We had an absolute blast during our time there. If you'd like to see that video then here's the link. Thank you so much for watching our video!!!😊 th-cam.com/video/FXZ9EDCoUUI/w-d-xo.html
Also The fire station (isu Cluj) on bulevardul 21 decembrie 1989 and The smaller one at colina next to The ctp (public transportation depot)
We'll definitely add those to our list!!!!😊
my ex colegue aunt owns that restaurant and thats where my class and i made our year 8 photos and album where u took dinner and i live at 400m of cetatuia park as u said it :)
WOW!!! It's definitely a small world. Cluj is such a cool city!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!😊
The hungarian king is there because transylvania used to be part of hungary and cluj is in transylvania. :))
Matthias Corvinus was born in Cluj in the building visible in Your video at 3:46 :D
Thank you for pointing that out Lorand!!! We didn't find that out until the end of the day of filming & hated that we didn't get to include it. But we'll just have to return & dive a bit deeper into Cluj & Corvinus!! Thank you so much for watching our vlog!!😊
❤️Cluj
We love it too!!! Thank you so much for watching Halaszi!!!😊
I live here!!!
IT'S nice to see people who like my City!
If you cime back you can go see:The train station(gara) The biggest (i Think) hardware store în România HORNBAH it's on str cânpu pâinii
Thank you so much for the recommendations!!! We loved our time Cluj & thought it had such a cool personality to it. We took the train into & out of Cluj in our other vlogs & the exterior was GORGEOUS! We definitely have a lot of reasons to plan another visit!! Thank you so much for watching our vlog!!!😊
Odd to see your hometown on TH-cam randomly.
The reason it's expensive (the most expensive city in Romania) is due to the economic boom it had in the last decade. The local authorities encouraged tech companies to develop here with lower taxes, and since it's also a university center these two went hand in hand. You've got high income earners in a low price area(at that time) so the prices started to go up year by year. Not to mention we're facing a 15% inflation atm. Meanwhile the rest of the non tech salaries have stayed much lower (can't compete).
So for anyone not working a well paid corporate job its a bit of an issue. The city also developed well in the last 2 decades that's for sure from the infusion of capital but the income inequality gets worse every year.
Hi Mihai!! Thank you very much for taking the time to watch our video & provide some context! That's kind of the hard part about cities hitting a growth spurt. On one hand it can be incredibly beneficial for the city with regard to attracting outside investment, tourism, etc. but on the other hand it can really be felt by the local population. That's the goal of our channel though honestly. We make our videos in order to encourage people who might've never heard of Cluj or thought of going, to make plans to visit one day in an effort to help boost tourism & the local economy in whatever tiny way we can. We just really enjoy doing our small part to show how great these towns & cities are. Thank you so much again for giving some context & watching our vlog Mihai. We greatly appreciate it!!!😊
"income inequality gets worse every year"...Welcome to what they call CAPITALISM ! Inequality is normal in a free enterprise...! Not the same in COMMUNISM when things were so much different ! But I bet you're too young and have not experienced the years before 1989...
Unfortunately, the current exhibition at the history museum, although more modern than the former one, is only a figment of what can be. Not all the artifacts from the main exhibition are shown, and not from all the eras. The museum is in restoration for a very long time. We hope the museum will get restored properly in the near future.
I am glad you are interested in the history of these places. You really needed a cool guide for Cluj to enjoy it fully, even if it is only for a day.
That's so sad to hear. The first floor of the museum was okay, but the second floor blew us away with how well-done it was. It looked as though the building was under construction on the inside so maybe they're working to expand it? In any case, we didn't plan on visiting but did so kind of spur of the moment. We're definitely glad we did. We're hoping to get back to Cluj in the future & have a guide to help us because that always makes the experience much more enjoyable! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our vlog Ionut!!!
Mathias father was Iancu de Hunedoara (from Hunyadi familly) a Romanian nobleman and he (Mathias) was also born in Cluj Napoca
Thank you very much for providing some background on this Bazileia!! We definitely aren't experts on the places we visit, so we love to ask people like you for more context behind monuments like this one. It certainly helps us & our viewers. Thanks so much again & we greatly appreciate you taking the time to watch our vlog!!!😊
@@ProbablyLost thank you for visiting our city. Safe travels 🤗
Haha, even tourists consider restaurants in Cluj-Napoca expensive 😂
Hi Paul!!! We definitely thought the meal was a bit more expensive than we anticipated, but I will say it was DEFINITELY good enough to be the price. It just kinda caught us off guard😂 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!!
u guys are so cute togehter #omg hope u stay together for the rest of ur life #lovelife
Cluj is OK,Brașov is amazing !!! VISIT BRAȘOV! ♥️💛💙
We did! Check out our other Romania videos 😉👍🇷🇴
of course it is
It 1000000% is!!! Hopefully this vlog inspires others to visit because we had an incredible time. Thank you so much for watching our vlog Vosto!!!
@@ProbablyLost my pleasure, the only thing I can say to you is that you should spend more time like you say in your video so you can interact with the locals and not just rush from tourist point to tourist point, have you seen bald and bankrupt? he does random stuff and the video ends up entertaining even if he doesn't visit the "important" places of a city, people get the real vibe of how the people are, one time he even went with a russian drunk to his home and played guitar until the morning :)) so it's less of a civilised trip advisor type vibe but an amazing unique thing, thanks for visiting our country Romania, we're definitely underrated and I hope us romanians get your channel up because we like hearing foreigners talk about our country!
@@GamesExposed Oh we DEFINITELY know who Bald & Bankrupt is!! We love watching his videos because he's incredibly charismatic & does an incredible job of making situations that you'd think would be uncomfortable, look so comfortable. That's the biggest thing that we've learned from our travels this year. We're planning our future travels for 2023 & our number one priority. What's crazy is we spent 16 days in Romania, making it our 3rd longest period spent in one country (Spain & England were a month each) & we regret not staying at least a month. So next year, we plan to focus less on seeing a ton of countries & more on seeing each one that we visit more intimately. We agree though, this strategy will definitely help us showcase the place we're visiting much better. Thank you so much for your kind words & giving us feedback on this!! We can't thank you enough for taking the time out of your day to watch our videos!!!
@@ProbablyLost it's all good though, only add the random encounter if it happens, doesn't need to be forced, perhaps it's less awkward for a guy that is alone to say hi to random people and maybe for you as a couple it would be different, I wish you good luck, just do what feels natural! for next year in summer I don't know if you've been but Vama Veche is the place for random encounters in Romania ;) just a tip
Yes it was worth the the visit.See if you can visit brides market of the gypsies.😊😊😊😊
We actually hadn't heard about the gypsies until after we left, but it's all we talked about for a few days!!! I wish we could've gone into the little town that they all live in. That'd have been such a cool experience!!!!

Oh we definitely will!!! We were supposed to get some traditional Romanian food for dinner at Hanul Dacilor but unfortunately the weather didn't allow it🤣 It just gives us more reason to come back! Thanks so much for watching our vlog Vasile!!
@@ProbablyLost well, Hanul Dacilor is a really bad restaurant :) Popular, also really bad
Mathias Rex was the king of Transylvania and Hungary. Transylvania was 1000 years of Hungarian territory. That call history.
Mathias The Rex is romanian
Bulgarian King total Romania
Matia Corvin, the famous king of Hungary, was of Romanian origin, being the son of Iancu de Hunedoara.
"A Hungarian chronicle by Bonfini says that Iancu Corvin the Valah, the father of the great king Matei Corvin, was a Wallach - Romanian ( Wallachia - the medieval name of the region south of the Carpathians in Romania. Muntenia today) , from the "Plaiul Oii", and the Romanian legends identify this plai -field with the village of Corbi in Arges county-Romania". The Romanian Iancu de Hunedoara (b. 1407 - d. August 11, 1456, ) was a dominant personality of Romanian history from the 15th century. He was voivode of Transylvania in 1441, governor of the kingdom of Hungary between 1446-1453, then supreme captain of Hungary and Transylvania between 1453-1456.
Is very simple why Mathias called also Mátyás is in the center of Cluj Napoca also called Kolozsvár. Read a little bit history guys. Transilvania was hundreds of years part of Hungary or alied with Hungary. In Romania there are more than 1.1 million hungarians in the center of the country called Székelyföld which stands for Seklerland. Also Mathias King was born in Cluj Napoca. Actually the city was till 1970 populated in majority by hungarians. Nowdays is a cultural hub for a lot of etnicities.
Cluj used to be part of Hungary for around 1000 of years, right up until the end of ww I, and Mathias is the only hungarian king born in Transylvania or at least Cluj. The fun addition to this is that he was 1/4 romanian too. The statue was raised when under hungarian rule, and probably was kept standing because of the high percentage of hungarians living in Cluj and also his romanian background. Most of the historical buildings you visited were actually built in hungarian/austro-hungarian times. It's a complex history, with a lot of turmoil, but I am hoping that it will get better with time.
Thank you very much for providing some insight on it Tamás!! That's kind of how these things work honestly. It will be a bit contention & a topic of debate for a couple of generations, but eventually it calms down. We honestly don't have really any idea of who's right or who's wrong, but we definitely know just how proud the people are & how hospitable everyone was to us. We absolutely loved our short time in Cluj. Thank you so much again for watching & giving us a bit more background!!!
Maybe 1000 years in the Hungarian calendar,but in reality, between 1526 and 1920 (400 years), Hungary did not exist as an independent state and did not have its own capital. Transylvania was a principality and an austrian province for 4 centuries👍👍👍
04:50 'cool art from hundreds of thousands of years ago' ...😂 Bruv...
We aren't exactly the greatest of historians🤣 Thank you for taking the time to watch our video Ennio!!
Mathius Rex was king of the Hungarian empire. Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvar in Hungarian) was his home town. All of Transilvania was Hungarian land until the treaty of Trianon after WW1. Ergo there is a statue of him in his hometown.
Not quite like you wrote!Transilvania land is more accurate!Means roumanians and hungarians shared this beautiful land!Back to school!And keep calm!
@@dorinvesa1109 let's just agree to disagree as, trust me, we were had slightly different history classes
@@Eleniel13 If you are hungarian, we all know why your history leassons are so different, but let's not forget that hungarians decend from nomadic tribes that came to this lands way after our ancestors already lived here... Dacinas lived here and romans visited also...
@@Eleniel13I'm quite curious!What type of history the hungarians learned at school about dacians!?😁
@@dorinvesa1109 I am not disputing the history before hungarians settled here, that is something normal and accepted, just that there are some discrepancies between the 2 nations about what happened after hungarian settlement. I do agree that Transilvania was kind of apart from Hungary but at the same time it was still ruled by hungarians with a majority of hungarian citizens as opposed to Moldova and Tara Romaneasca (Valahia) which were under romanian rule with a majority of romanian citizens.
Hungary sometimes doesnt like Romania that much that is why Mathias Corvinus cant possibly be half Romanian.... lol.
He did speak Romanian quite well however =). And that is not even some definitive argument but I wont get into details, unless I trigger someone and they make me =).
P.s. we still like Hungary however ... even if they charge me 3Euro for a very basic coffee near the border =)
😘
That's hilarious🤣 Believe it or not, I'm all for a 3euro coffee at this point. We're in Ljubljana, Slovenia & we're noticing prices REALLY start to rise😂 Thank you so much for watching Adrian!!
Im only trigger by the fact that you say Hungary is the only one not liking Romania. I think its pretty clear in our shared history that we all had envy and hatred towards each other, both done atrocities against each other(war crimes) and this fuckin hates only still lives because the politicians keep making loaded statements to hype the voters for a new election. Its really fuckin sad you think this, im sure the average hungarian from Cluj would disagree with you.
Ps. In history nothing is black or white. Its a gray usually. So hungarians are the same basically as romanians, no one is all bad or all good...
@@zebrarusz92 Im definitely not talking about ordinary or ethnic Hungarians (be it from Romania or Hungary), some of which I grew up with, and I never put Romanian friends in any way above Hungarian friends. And it felt natural for me to hear Hungarian language being spoken even if I didnt understand but just a few words.
That being said...on the other hand its also pretty clear that often Budapest politics are pushing certain rhetorics and they can take some roots in some more "receptive" regions like lets say parts of Harghita.
But its all good my frien... I like Hungarians and I like Hungarian culture, and Im sure most or at least many Hungarians feel the same about their Romanian neighbors even if they are from near or from Budapest.
Cheers.
@@L2Xenta we don't care about Budapest politics tbh.
so you cry about the breakfast that is expensive , but you did not spent a peny on food before dinner.
Hi Bobi! We definitely weren't crying about the price of breakfast, just saying that it was a bit more than we expected (but that's not the restaurants fault it's ours...and to be honest it was 100% worth the price). One thing that definitely changed in our plan for the day was that we planned on going to Memo 10 for lunch, but the breakfast was so good/filling that we weren't even slightly close to hungry😂 That also goes to show that as we said it the video, most of the day didn't totally go to plan (like our dinner plans to get traditional food at Hanul Dacilor). So in total, the breakfast turned out to be a great bargain when factoring in not getting lunch, we just didn't know that would be the case at the time of filming. Thank you very much for watching our vlog Bobi!!!😊
The name of Romania did not exist until 100 years.Here was Hungary.
@@kostas0352 Yes, but not under the name of Romania.
Cluj had been a Hungarian city until 25 October 1944 when Romanians occupied it. Hungarians only built everything, Romanians only claimed its theirs. The statue had been a subject of dispute and was miraculously spared by a former Prime Minister from demolition by Romanians, who destroy anything they touch. One of the fighters you see there is Duke Paul (Pavel Chinezu - a regional uttering of Cneaz, Slavic for Duke). He fought in 1479 on the Bread Field (Campia Painii). He massacred Turks and in the end drunk and lost his mind, dancing with two Turk corpses under armpits and a third one hung down by chalvars (pants) from his teeth.
Because Transsylvania use to be Hungarian for 1000 years!
King Matthias Hunyadi was Hungarian (like his father Janos Hunyadi). If he was romanian, why did he fight against his own people (vlachs)? Maybe he had a vlach relative in his family, but that doesn't mean he was Romanian. Romanians are well known for falsifying history.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 right.
so, all the old town (where you were) and all the old buildings(by old i mean classy) in some neighbourhoods, have been built by hungarian architects, well documented, facts not fiction, the St. Michael cathedral built in XVth century by hungarians for Matyas ofc with the popes orders, and Matyas's statue also done later in XIX by a hungarian sculptor. Their play is to claim the origin to make it seem it is all done by them. "some" brainwashed by their late dictator claim things that are not true, cause that's what their parents thought them, cause they have no culture, no gastronomy, and like to steal words even from other languages, their lexicon being very poor. I let you decide. I rest my case. Also ask in the west who are known as thieves, liars and have a bad rep. Also almost all the minorities, schwabs, saxons, jws, hungarians have almost all moved out of this corrupt country that took their property. So yea you decide. history repeats itself lying and thieving is their bread and butter.

We loved it too! It's got such a youthful spirit. Our biggest regret is not going out to the bars!!
