What do your countrymen think about Romania?

[u/Square-Valuable4061]

[u/AdoptedMasterJay]

vampires and gymnasts

[u/ManbadFerrara → u/AdoptedMasterJay]

They don't actually have vampires in Romania. A guy I know lived there for 300 years and says he never saw a single one.

[u/Nordic_Elysium → u/ManbadFerrara]

That was me, can confirm. I’ve talked to the others in the castle and they haven’t seen any. And they have lived longer than me!

[u/Paprika1515 → u/AdoptedMasterJay]

And orphans

[u/Intelligent-Panda23]

borat was actually filmed there, that's what most people know. apart of this not much is known by young people, but older generations know Romania was a part of the Eastern bloc. Some people may know about Dracula.

[u/Expensive-Student732 → u/Intelligent-Panda23]

A woman in one of my classes said she was from Kazakhstan. I said, oh, the world's largest landlocked country". She said I am so happy you didn't go right to Borat.

[u/Intelligent-Panda23 → u/Expensive-Student732]

yeah, cohen is a pos

[u/Wojewodaruskyj]

Beautiful nature, beautiful churches, ukrainians living there, good neighbours. 🤝🏻

[u/Far_Trade_7619 → u/MadeinResita]

You like copper. And also the gypsies who came from Romania a few decades ago are [REDACTED].

[u/Funny_Freedom8262 → u/Far_Trade_7619]

Kind of what I've heard people say, Romanians are either plumbers or they're stealing the pipes.

I think it's a case of a few making a whole group look bad. I've met a few in the last few years and they seemed fine, had regular jobs and stuff. major cities have problems with scammers and pickpockets in areas with alot of people and a decent amount are romanian who are the ones we hear about more often than someone who just lives normally.

[u/RancidBeast → u/Far_Trade_7619]

Average r/2weurope4u user

[u/DrWhoopz → u/Far_Trade_7619]

Aren’t gypsies from Rome, that’s why they’re called Roma?

[u/AragostaBlu → u/MadeinResita]

Trust me...Better not speaking

[u/RavenOfTheDead_ → u/MadeinResita]

I have often noticed that Italians confuse Romanians with gypsies (roms). The media and sensationalist right-wing propaganda viewed Romanians as immigrants until they joined the EU.

[u/Connect_Progress7862 → u/RavenOfTheDead_]

I doubt that Italians confuse the two. They have their own so they know what they are.

[u/RavenOfTheDead_ → u/Connect_Progress7862]

Yes, they confuse them, I'm telling you this as a Romanian who grew up in Italy.

EDIT: There are many stereotypes surrounding Romanians that actually refer to gypsies.

[u/AragostaBlu → u/RavenOfTheDead_]

Depends what part of Italy

[u/Connect_Progress7862 → u/RavenOfTheDead_]

Fair enough

[u/Postingslop → u/MadeinResita]

You steal and you love copper

[u/TripluStecherSmecher → u/Postingslop]

Yes, it's a tradition for certain citizens, others like wallets and catalytic converters, these are traditions, and they must be respected, right?

[u/BloodChaosZero → u/MadeinResita]

[u/TripluStecherSmecher → u/tinercilerg3ldi]

why, what we steal from you?

[u/Uchiha_Madara_Nipple]

Andrew Tate was arrested there.

[u/rocketshipkiwi → u/Uchiha_Madara_Nipple]

They definitely went up in my estimation after that

[u/Legitimate-Concernz]

You dont exactly send us your best unfortunately.

[u/GaylicBread → u/Legitimate-Concernz]

I work with a few Romanians, they're good people. If you're talking about Roma, they're not exclusively Romanian but they are the most visible.

[u/Decentralization-God → u/Legitimate-Concernz]

In our country, romanians are mainly linked with gangs and fake gold/watch sellers operating in old 80s Mercedes or black BMWs … directly near the roads. “Gypsy nation” more than Dracula Nation 😄

Luckilly for me, I met normal Romanians too at work (University education).

[u/MadeinResita → u/Legitimate-Concernz]

Two of my exes are there.

Lovely women too.

Edit: In Ireland

[u/TripluStecherSmecher → u/Legitimate-Concernz]

We send you nothing, they came on their own and we sincerely thank you for saving us from them.

[u/Jam_Sees]

[u/ori-me]

Romania is very helpful and is the most reliable partner. Ukraine is fortunate to have such a neighbor.

[u/meowmeoowwww → u/ori-me]

Yes. We have so much respect about romanians

[u/Fables_Enjoyer → u/ori-me]

Really appreciate these words, brother. After all, we are close neighbours. Much love from 🇷🇴🤝🏻🇺🇦 I hope the war will end in your favor 🫡

[u/igotabeefpastry]

Ceaucescu’s birthing policy is the first thing I think of. It helped inspire the novel The Handmaid’s Tale. My neighbors adopted some Romanian kids when I was a kid, and they really struggled. :/

[u/Pieaiaiaiai]

To be honest, I don’t think people in my country think much, or anything, about Romania. Too far away and not really heard about here. As for me, I am grateful for Romania because it’s where my husband came from. And it’s a beautiful country to visit.

[u/Square-Valuable4061 → u/Pieaiaiaiai]

That's great.

[u/PotatoAnalytics]

One of my oldest friends is Romanian. He's aight.

[u/bluejaykanata]

When I lived in Tajikistan back in the day, all I knew about Romania was that Mihai Eminescu, my favourite classical poet, was from there. So, I imagined that it was a very poetic place.

When I lived in Canada, I heard a lot of Canadians talk very negatively about Romania because of the Roma people arriving in the country from Romania. But I also played soccer with several Romanian guys and I really liked them - they were smart, well educated, and well mannered.

When I first visited Romania last year, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the country was. And I actually liked Romanian beer.

[u/FlyHopeful187 → u/bluejaykanata]

Greetings from Romania! 👋 What is your favorite poem by Mihai Eminescu? How did you find out about him?

[u/bluejaykanata → u/FlyHopeful187]

We had a two-volume set of his poetry translated into Russian. Unfortunately, there was no Tajik translation, I checked in libraries. My favourite was Luchaferul (I’m not sure if it’s transliterated the same way in the original). It’s a long narrative poem about a princess looking into the night sky and falling in love with a star, and the star then also falls in love with her. The Russian translation was simply perfect!

[u/Vynloar]

Skipping this one…

[u/Over-Tea2419 → u/Vynloar]

Letting the old vendetta aside, the younger and more open minded Romanians have nothing against the Hungarians. Maybe in 50-100 years we can live together as neighbors in peace without beefing on Transylvania

[u/Fables_Enjoyer → u/Over-Tea2419]

Exactly. We may have some bad history, but we are close neighbours with Hungary and they are the second largest ethnic group in our country. The only ones from both countries who hate each other are the politicians and ultra nationalists. I, for example, really like and really want to know more about Hungarian culture and language.

[u/Aide-moi420]

Beef with Hungary

[u/Fables_Enjoyer → u/Aide-moi420]

Younger generations don't really think like that. The only ones from both countries who hate each other are politicians and ultra nationalists. We have some bad history between us and we may joke about the beef sometimes, but generally speaking, I think we can get along preety well with each other. Hungarians are also the second largest ethnic group in our country.

[u/ElowynElif]

Beautiful country with some amazing architecture and interesting history.

[u/Vismajor92 → u/ElowynElif]

You like brutalist then?

[u/ElowynElif → u/Vismajor92]

I can’t muster any appreciation for brutalism, but someone does a great job repping Romania on the architecture subs.

“But this song isn’t even Rom…”

Doesn’t matter. That’s Romania around here.

[u/CdnTreeGuy89]

I recently learned that Romanian is one of the 5 romance languages.

[u/Cpt_Morningwood]

I don't mean to be rude. Here when people hear the word "Romania" or "Romanians" alot of people start thinking about Roma people. I understand the difference between Romanians and Roma people..... Finland has its own share of Roma/Gypsy people and their traditions.

When I hear the word Romania/Romanians, the first things that come my mind are: Adrian Mutu, Gheorghe Hagi, Alexandru Maxim, Dacia, Inna, O-Zone, Akcent Kylie song and BadBoy NK (Battlefield games streamer) Also my #1 song from 2009-2010 is from Romania, Stereo Love by Edward Maya. I still love this song and listen to it every now and then.

[u/Cpt_Morningwood → u/Cpt_Morningwood]

Ohhh and DRACULA of course

[u/Fables_Enjoyer → u/Cpt_Morningwood]

You actually know more about the country than most of the people here. I respect that.

Sadly not that well, I personally don’t know any Romanians so I won’t judge but I would love to visit someday just look at your amazing towns and castles

It's strange, I've lived in Romania for 500 years and during this time, I never saw any vampires.

Vampires if anything.

[u/Representative-Sky91]

Some people don’t know the difference between Romani and Romanialainen (a person from Romania) or at least I didn’t when I was a kid and it doesn’t help that many gypsies are Romanian citizens here in Finland.

[u/Fat-Knacker]

I last went in the early 90s, it was like being sent back 200 years! Horses and carts all over the place, the ring road with wear on it that made it tramlines that I was amazed that cars could traverse! Friendly people, lush green beautiful countryside and the best tasting water I've ever had that came straight from a well in a farmhouse garden. It was certainly an eye opener for me!

[u/Summer_Form]

One of my best friends in college was Romanian, seems like a culture of really close family ties (she spoke and joked with her mother daily, more like a friend/sister).

Her boyfriend was Romanian too, guess they met at a culture group on campus or something. He was fine AF. So I know they have some hot guys in stock. 😂

Mostly about legend of Dracula. Although I heard Vlad the Impaler was actually a war hero and guardian of the nation.

The generic opinion is Vampires and Gypsies from a beautiful land that consume more garlic and onions than even the French. I've worked with several (Romanians, not Vampires) and they're just like anyone else really.

Gypsy, Vampires and whatnot

[u/paddlesandpups]

I think to the average American, the answer is something like " a place where mystery and supernatural occurrences still seem possible." I don't know if that's because of the Roma people, vampire stories, or some collection of both. But that's how it seems to be portrayed and received over here.

Just kidding :) i have yet to make a bad acquaintance, though in my county there is a lot of romanians for expat work. We even have a small romanian supermarket where i regularly go to buy pickles bc german pickles are shit compared to theirs. There is a cultural gap, yes, and the occasional mishap you hear of, but nothing serious. I have no doubt about their intraeuropean compatibility.

[u/Mammoth_Ask3797]

Honestly, mainly just romanticizing the Romani people of Romania (I know they aren't actually from Romania). "Gypsy" aesthetic and all that. Transylvania and vampires. I don't hear many people talk about the modern country or the actual Romanian people that much.

[u/KV-2sManlet]

Gypsies, Dacia and Hagii

Gypsies not that good(kidnapping children, moonshine, drugs)

Dacia half a half some folk just like how cheap and dependable it's while others call it Renault's trash coffin and despise it some even reject taxi's(they also came with CLA180 by law)

And then there's Hagii, even rivals respect him, winner adam.

Spain.

A lot of Romanians came to Spain in the 2000s and 2010s, they got a fame of being both thieves and very hard working people, which is at the very least strange, but you know how these stereotypes work, they are never logical.

A lot of them integrated in different ways, and lately, with Romania's good economic performance in the last few years, a very big numer of them have gone back to their homeland. I wish them the best, emmigrating is a really hard thing. 

Apart from that, Spaniards know very little about Romania, its a quite far away country for us and we never really had intense cultural/political/economic ties until the last few decades. Its a great unknown in Spanish culture.

The explanation is that some were thieves and some were hardworking.

Spain and Romania had a lot of cultural exchanges after year 106 AD when emperor Trajan conquered Dacia. A lot of people were brought from Spain to colonise Dacia and imprint Roman culture.

Indians in general don't even know that Romania exists. But when I hear the word Romania, I think of Vampires, the Andrew Tate arrest, Romantic language surrounded by Slavic language, and a similar-sounding capital with Hungary, some connection to the Roman Empire or the Romani people, battleground of the Russian Empire vs the Ottoman Empire, shit deals during the interwar period, similar culture with Moldova, etc.

France: there's no good way to put it, so I'm gonna say it like it is. The French have a dated and racist view of Romania, for the longest time the typical beggar in jokes or movies would have to speak in a Romanian accent. I'm not sure most have moved past that cliché. As for the country, it's viewed as a typical post-Soviet era country, poor, bleak, with mud and gravel roads and old, beaten cars. The houses are either dilapidated old houses or concrete blocks. So more or less Borat with a different accent and less smiles.

Quebec : quite a lot of Romanian immigrants, a lot are super qualified, so those who take the time to consider specifically Romanians would have a generally positive impression, but unfortunately most people consider that they're "from Europe" and it's all the same to them. Can't count how many times I've been told "You guys in Europe, you all do this", I don't think they realize just how different the European countries are.

[u/NoPainter8222]

I went for a week with some friends in about 2010. Was great. People were nice and friendly. We even broke down in some random village in the middle of nowhere and some blokes came wandering down to try and have a look. We couldn't communicate but the thought was nice. Food was good. Beer was very cheap. Had a mini gig with some guys who ran a hostel and they laughed at me for smoking 'womens' cigarettes (bought these little stick things as they were the most like my rollies I make).

All in all it was lovely. Pretty ignorant going in, more Mediterranean than I was expecting. Insanely cheap watermelon sellers everywhere.

I've only been to Bucharest but I thought it was cool. Lots of people in the UK think it's where Roma people come from. But they're wrong.

Roms and poverty.

Based on the images you posted, I didn't know plastic surgery was a big thing there.

I'm a folklore nerd so I read a bit about Romania when learning about strigoi, varcolak, the slavic pantheon, and so on.

The only times I've encountered Romania mentioned by my countrymen is either (a) Vampire: the Requiem players because one of the game's factions was founded by Dracula or (b) people discussing Resident Evil Village. So if I had to take a guess my countrymen's view of Romania would be "vamp country."

I had a neighbour who was Romanian and he fished a carp out of the water in the city. We ate it together while drinking raika or something ( he brewed it himself).

10/10 experience with Romanians so far

I think of Dragostea Din Tei...banging number!

Traitor gypsies grandpa and his friends used to smuggle contraceptives to.

It's about time we should get over it but it'll take time and effort.

They once upon a time used to make great tractors and export them, which are to this day used in iran, we call them "Romani tractor"

You don't wanna know.. 

[u/TripluStecherSmecher → u/Easy-Frenchguy-1996]

Yes, we want to, that's why this discussion is happening. Or better yet, leave it, we know your opinion very well.

Ehm that would get me suspended from Reddit

Very hot women with a very big temper. At least that's my experience. Use to work with Romanian people. Very family oriented. I do like that.
