A vlogger from the United States told his experience in Romania: Video capture
A vlogger in the United States has sparked a wave of reactions on the Internet after publishing a video in which he tells, with humor and irony, as Romania perceived as a tourist. Entitled “”Three things I would have liked to know before I came to Romania”, The video combines jokes, stereotypes and some useful information for those who want to visit our country.
National currency and culinary surprises
One of the first aspects mentioned by Ally was related to money. She reminded her followers that Romania is not part of the euro area: “Romania does not use the euro. Have their own currency called lion or ron. If you have the euro, you will need to change them ”she explained.
The young woman also spoke about eating habits, making a funny but not exactly encouraging observation: “In Romania a lot of meat is eaten. If you are a vegetarian, you will have a menu composed of onion, garlic and pickled cabbage“She said, laughing.
About Romanians: friendly, but too curious
Despite the ironic comments, Ally acknowledged that the people she met seemed friendly and hospitable, though sometimes too eager to get involved: “People are warm, welcoming, very friendly, but a little too intrusive for my tastes ”said Vloggerița.
Vampires, jokes and neighbors of 700 years
The references to the myths with vampires, specific to the international image of Romania were not lacking. Ally made a few jokes about this topic, including the appearance of unusual neighbors: “Many of your neighbors are people who seem to be 700 years old. It's not a joke. I asked them and felt offended. When they were invited to my home, I felt strange. I made garlic paste and got scared. It may have been allergic ”she said in her ironic style.
How the Romanians reacted
The video was intensely commented on social networks, and the reactions were divided. Some Internet users appreciated the humor of the vlogger and the relaxed way he talked about his experience. Others, on the other hand, felt the need to complete with more serious information about what a visit to Romania really means and correct some of the clichés promoted.
Regardless of opinions, Ally's post has managed to draw attention and cause discussions about the perceptions that tourists have about Romania.
