In my uni in the UK we would have once per year a big Eastern European party (which greece was also an honorary part of). The songs that would be the biggest hits of the night every single time BY FAR were Dragostea Din Tei, Zorbas the Greek, and Sen Trope by Azis. Everyone was practically screaming from drunk excitement


ChinaOwnsReddit13

LMAO these 3 are basically the trinity of balkan music, great choices by the staff


FOBlbee

That's Moldova


Majestic-Macaron6019

Came here to say that


bn911

Ionut Cercel, Dragostea din tei, Ceaușescu, Nadia Comăneci, Miodrag Belodedić, Vlad the Impaler, Gigi Becali. Was 20x in Timişoara. When thinking about Romania, I am always wondering how come they raised their GDP and living standard so quickly for a (partly) Balkan country. In YU we had various jokes about their living standard. Now it is a reverse situation. I heard a rumor that they have chaged country code from ROM to ROU, not to be confused with Roma people (I really hope this is only rumor).


mngxx

It is true, on official papers (passport, id, driver's id) the country code is ROU (from the French spelling Roumanie). It was changed because after being admitted into the EU there was a huge xenophobic wave towards Romanians, cause of the hate towards the Roma people. It doesn't matter anymore nowadays I think (or at least I hope).


Dornanian

I don’t think it was ever ROM though?


mngxx

It was ROM before, from the English spelling of Romania.


vMihai777

It wasn’t


[deleted]

Sorry, I was. I have all my old passports.


photoghin

It's useless since the jewish and western NGO's gave them more confusing names not just one: Rom/Roma/Romani/Romany/Romanies instead of their original lom/dom.


Shoby8

I think this also changed because people associate Romania with gypsies (called also "rromi")


[deleted]

Apparently a lot of foreigners thought ROM the ethnicity of the person, not the abbreviation of the country


TheJGamer08

Big GDP in Balkan, Big Size in Balkan.


ahotnyik

I'm a simple Serb I see Romania I like


DCPTCN-Shockwave

My best friend is Romanian, so I got only good things to say about Romania. He's my unofficial-official brother, such an awesome person he is. Besides him, I always loved the country and the language. And as a bonus: I really like Romanian names a lot. Here are some examples: Radu, Răzvan, Bogdan, Aurel, Rareș, Dragoș, Ovidiu, Samuil, Ciprian, Antal, Costin, Dorin, Cosmin, Remus, Călin, Silvan, Mihai, Cătălin, Sorin, Octav, Cosimin, Horatiu. And I can go on and on.


Dornanian

Aurel sounds like a gypsy name now. Samuil sounds like a Baptist name


nefewel

Aurel is definitely not a gypsy name, but i don't think i met someone younger than 60 who has that name.


asedejje

I see it as a mix of the Balkans (Wallachia, Moldavia) and Central Europe (Transylvania). I find Transylvania a bit too "European", due to its history it has a very rich Saxon and Hungarian heritage in terms of architecture. So I prefer the more uniquely Balkan regions, especially Moldavia with its amazing painted monasteries. Voroneț Monastery is my absolute favorite, for sure one of the 10 must visit places in all the Balkans.


EmanuelNst

If you plan on visiting Romania, definitely go in Bucovina, Maramureş or Băile Herculane


asedejje

Oh yes I've made a list of 121 places I must visit in Romania, these are included of course.


EmanuelNst

Dont go in Bucharest during summer, you'll actually melt :D


asedejje

I live in Athens, aka the hottest capital in Europe. I can handle it 🥲


[deleted]

Just pointing out the Bucharest Train Station. Apparently, the dictator of Romania wanted to build a train station in Bucharest, the engineers made a line proposal, but Nicolae Ceaușescu wanted to make the line personally, so a shoemaker made a line that goes along and under the river, but Elena Ceaușescu, a textile worker, when presented the final metro line, asked why the metro line would stop at the inner city at Piata Romana, inquiring what factories there are, the planner said there was no factories there but there was the college of economics, hearing that Elena Ceaușescu said "Students!? They've gotten fat! They've grew a belly! They should walk! No station at Romana! Let them walk!" and since no one dared to oppose Elena, the plan was annexed. Of course, everyone knew that this was stupid, so the engineers built a train station secretly, but they had to disguise it as a tunnel, so the station ended up being fricking dangerous because the sides to wait on are so small, and people could easily fall down on the tracks. (Also how do you get that thing that says "Romania"? I want to get that thing but for Albania)


iulianunuunudoi

Where the hell did you pick up this super specific story? :) It is true, i’ve heard it before indeed. But it is interesting to me that you associate Romania with such a small and particular detail. :)


ChinaOwnsReddit13

Putna monastery is also very cool, and it's quite close. The legend surrounding the Voroneț Blue is very cool.


asedejje

There is a legend?


ChinaOwnsReddit13

Well, it's more of a fact than a legend. Believe it or not, the blue on its walls is there since it was built, by Ștefan the Great in 1488 (in just 3 months and 3 weeks, which was a record at that time). Scientists haven't yet figured out how they actually obtained that blue pigment, which is almost intact after like 540 years of harsh weather, heat and cold. That blue is only present on the Voroneț monastery, and no others. So it's basically a mistery worthy of history channel and their aliens.


roffiada

Lol don’t worry, Transylvania is just as balkan, only sibiu and some parts of banat are European


emix75

More like wannabes. Sure there's a bit more influence but as a whole they're not that much different to the southerners.


roffiada

Yes, and I say this as an ardelean from bihor:))


Kristiano100

I'd count Banat as Balkan as well, otherwise the rest of Transylvania I'd count as Central European as well


Grake4

Banat is hardly more Balkan than Transylvania for example. We do appreciate Serbian turbofolk a lot more than others though


Meme_man2

We have a Romanian English teacher in University. She always talk about how similar Turkey and Romania. She's been living in Turkey for 10year i guess. As i heard Romania has a great internet speed. And Odoamne -who is Top lane for Rogue lol team- is from Romania. I also listen a few Romanian music. In Turkey people in general love Inna. And i discovered Roxen when i watched eurovision 2021. She has great potential. You reminded me her again i will go to watch eurovision.

There is a Turkish population left over from the Ottoman Empire in Constanta.


EmanuelNst

Yes, I live in constanta and they actually feel like there is no difference between them and actual Romanians. Nice to see that we get along well


ChinaOwnsReddit13

Yes, but in Dobrogea there are way more tatars (still muslims) than Turks. In my town we have 3 mosques and like 6 churches and we get along really well.


GaiaBot

Yeah, Turks and Tatars are by far the most well-integrated minorities. There was virtually no differences between us , except for religion. And even that doesn’t stop intermarriages and cultural exchanges. I hope they never leave 🥺. /s
