Actually you ate romanian dishes with hungarian names. The Hungarians tried to made everything to be in hungarian language. Everything romanian must be in hungarian on hungarian time. For business and money the restaurants keeped it in hungarian.

Many visitors consider the Balkans the Hidden Gem of Europe. Even I as a Balkanian was amazed by many places in Bulgaria, Montenegro, Serbia, Albania, Croatia, Greece, etc. Romania occupies a special place, perhaps the most eclectic country, the most religious, with many traditions and customs that come from ancient times, some even from pre-Christian times! Romania will always welcome you smiling, always shockingly beautiful and surprising.

From there in 2 hours, 2 hours and a half you are in Bucharest. In order to think more coherently about a travel plan, I inform you that you have a small international airport in Suceava (which is the unofficial capital of Bucovina) with connections from London, Dublin, Paris, Milan, Brussels, Rome, Vienna, and many other cities small from Europe.

Restaurants are cheating when it comes to papanași. What you get in restaurants is NOT the traditional papanași, it's the fast food version (basically fried doughnuts). Traditional papanași are made from semolina and boiled, not fried. Restaurants prefer the easier version to make, and customers prefer the higher calorie content per Leu. But traditional papanași are much tastier (in a lighter, more subtle manner) and healthier.

Darlings, this video is a bit disturbing. Being Romanian means both good and bad and it also means a lot, a lot of pride. In history, we were a shield for Europe in front of the Turks, Tatars, Russians and when we thought we had friends...religion, faith, culture...the Romanians were always alone. No one understands why a Latin people is surrounded by Slavs, the great Romanian mystery and miracle. I have been following, since I returned home from the USA 4 years ago, what vision foreigners have about us. I couldn't, I didn't want to abandon my nation and my homeland .. with all its evils .. because I would only blame the Romanians who tortured, killed and humiliated the Romanians. Imposed by Russia this mess of communism (and maybe the naivety that there is another world more equal for people) you too saw Sighet full of Romanian brains that could have made this country another destiny. I am delighted and grateful that you were at sighet, even as a passer-by you brought to the world a little of the pain and suffering of people who lived under communism and what it means even today. HERE ..how Ukraine spills its blood to get rid of the Russians, this people infected with savages and murderous animals ..and which brought the Romanians only death, thievery, mental dementia, and ended their natural path of evolution. I don't know if it's good to mourn or to do what we're doing today... to keep our pain and drama deep in our hearts and carried forward with dignity. There is something in our gene that cries and suffers in silence given at birth as a curse. We don't forget the tragic history we went through, this permanent threat that one and the other will come and because of this it is sacred for us to know the roots and traditions. HUNDREDS of years in a row came and for hundreds of years we were divided.. into blue (Transylvania) yellow (Wallachia) red (Moldova) by Hungarians, Germans, Turks, Russians, Austrians..even Poles bit from Romania. And today we have lands and Romanians through Ukraine, Serbia, Hungary and Bulgaria...but we are here and this overwhelmed you too when you walked and breathed in my Romania. The biggest sin experienced by us today is regret .. that we fought between ourselves and Sighet is proof and that we did not go over others .. that's how Romanians .. to defend their needs and our nation. Sighet, like many other places in Romania, is the absolute shame of human dehumanization...not of Romania. And all the easier to understand, for you, that you are a few km from Ukraine, where the primitive commune returned...with this garbage of the people called Russia. For the rest .. Romanian STEW is 10 classes above Hungarian goulash, a poor man's food .. neither soup nor course 2 :))) Bread, haven't you received it? a lot of bread to put in goulash?:))) Finally.. you touched me badly in the soul with the prison in Sighet, there are many Romanians who refuse to go there.. for shame :(( Thank you for this and I felt that you are different from many travelers. I am with you and I will stay with you!

This is not really true that the romanians was guilty for the atrocities happened in the Stalin period. Let don't forget that actually all the Russian communists commissioners was no one romanians but jews. Except few strange events in the ww2 the Antonescu regime did a lot of efforts to escape the Jews from Poland or Hungary crossing Romania but after they didn't accept that the romanians are not happy to accept what Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt decided in terms of preparing the east Europa for the globalization. Actually Marx said that the romanians are the most reactionary people in the world and should dissappear. And yes the romanians are still a stone in the road to globalization. We still have an ancestral memory of the Dacians freedom. And you she know that Sighetul Marmației was part of the hungary in the ww2 and the Jews who escaped from the area crossed romanian territory helped by the Antonescu regime. Thanks for this Elie Wiesel force the romanians to convict Antonescu as a war criminal. The history isn't everytime fair.
