Hey Barbie, my name is Andrei, I'm 18 years old and I'm from Romania. I've been watching geography now since the end of the A countries or the beginning of the Bs, I'm not quite sure, but I certainly became a big fan of it. I really love my country and talking about it and this video is to show you why I do without very much research. I'm very sure you are going to do more research than I did in the things I'm going to tell you are just from the top of my head. This video is very spontaneous because I just popped into my head one night when I couldn't sleep. I thought, hey, let's make a video for Barbie. Even though it's the end of May and you just announced the Haiti episode, but whatever. The idea to make this video for you came up to me in order to give you some information in advance before you even start thinking about making the video about Romania. In order to, I don't know, interact with you because I used to make a cool guy. So let's dive in. It's a intelligenteography. No! As you probably know and mentioned in the chat episode, our flag is quite simple. It's that basic rectangle with three stripes, blue, yellow and red. Legently blue stands for liberty, yellow stands for justice, and the red stands for. Brotherhood. Romania is located in the south-eastern Europe, ordered by five other countries, Ukraine to the northern east, Moldova to the north east, Serbia and Hungary to the west, Bulgaria to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. It consists of 41 counties or 42 if you consider their capital and the largest city, Bucharest, which lays in the southeast of the country. That's quite difficult because around the city of Bucharest there's a county, Ilfog, and the Wikipedia page of Ilfog says that the city of residence of the county is Bucharest. And that's kind of confusing because Bucharest is its own county. I don't know. The shape of Romania is quite interesting because it looks like a fish. I really hope you see it because my current Germans, colleagues, can't see it. I don't know why. I've been in Germany since 2012. The most important national appers are of course in Bucharest, two of them, actually. And the Gwander and Aurel Vlaikov. Another important one is the CBO International where I come from, Kuznapocha International and Turgumur International. Aside from them too, there is Timishwara, Treyanvoya, Yash International, Krayova and Constanza, Mihai Kogarnichano. The most important river of the country is of course the Danube, shared with Serbia and Bulgaria and a little part with Ukraine. Because at the tail of the fish it splits and reaches Ukraine somehow. And then of course it flows into the Black Sea. Apart from the Danube, another important river is Muréš, Alt and the Prud, which is shared at Bordor with Moldova. We often refer to the Moldova as our neighbors across the Prud. The highest peaks are Moldoviano at 2500-44 meters. I've been there. Negoju at 2500-35 meters. And I've been there too. The most forest in Romania are in the southern southeast and in the west. There we can see lots of animals like foxes, bears, wolves, lynxes and all. Sheep, goats, back goats and of course the national animal, the eagle. Apart from those, Romania has a lot of castle fun fact. Prince Charles of Great Britain has relatives in Romania. He even bought a house in Romania. The most popular food in Romania are of course my Maliga, Samale, which is kind of Turkish and of course meat. Almost every weekend you can see Romania's outside with the barbecue preparing some meat. There just must be on the barbecue. Romania consists of 20-ish million people. Most of them are Romanians obviously. The major majorities are Hungarians and Moldovans. I don't really know the numbers but out of experience I just know that they are the biggest minorities in Romania. The currency is the Romanian lion or leo. That's the new lion because this is the one leo bill. The old one was 10,000. This one is the 50 bill. It used to be the 500,000. The cons for Romania. Money, which basically translates into money. Now you got 50 money. It's kind of weird but we like it. We mostly use the C and F outlet and we drive on the right side of the road. There is a total of nine regions in Romania. East we have like I said Moldova. Romanians with Russian accents like the Moldovans themselves. In the north we have Madamurish and Bukovina. They are mostly alcoholics but a little related to the Moldovans. To the west we have Kishana and Banat. In Banat are many Serbs because it's like on the border with Serbia. To the south we have Oltania and Montenia. Those parts are basically Bulgarian. Not really but there are many Bulgarians there. Many Romanians from there go to Bulgaria in the summer. To the southeast we have Dobroja. That region is just about the sea. You go to Dobroja you go to the sea. And in the center and heart of Romania we have Transylvania. That Transylvania is a region where country class becomes famous. A side note. A very good friend of mine lives near Stuttgart in Germany. His colleagues thought that Transylvania was a fictional place like Narnia or something. In Transylvania there are some counties where Hungarians are very dominant. They have to remain in citizenship. They bring their children to life in Romania. They have to remain in citizenship but they just don't speak the language. They basically remain Hungarian. For example, a few years back when I was still living in Romania. I used to ski a lot and participated at Romanian national championships in skiing. I was teammate with some Romanians, but I couldn't get along with them. Our national language is of course Romanian with specific dialects in the region. For example, in Adelaide, a little part of Transylvania we say fine. Every kind of shoe we call papuch. But the rest of the county does not. Looking at the religions, the most Romanians are Christian and Etext. I personally haven't heard about Muslim Romania. Some of our famous people are Jorge Haji, Nadia Comanec, Yon Ciriak, Ilian Estase, Mihai Minezcu, Konstantin Brunkush, Petra Ketboehnaro, who invented the pen. And of course Dracula. It's actually a character based on former king. We had called Vlad Cepesh, who used to punish people by... Considering that some cities in Romania speak German as their second language, and it's taught in school as the main language, because Romania has been influenced by the Saxon to the Austrian Hungarian Empire. But basically German. The cities have those plates when you get in that are in three languages. Obviously Romanian, German and Hungarian. Not all of them, but mostly in Transylvania. Romania and mostly get along with people from countries that speak Roman's languages like France, Spain, Italy, Portugal or neighbours. Hungary is like okay, but we had some controversial background. And it's the current thing that the Hungarians and Romania want autonomy, build their territory there, is like pissing us off. Serbs are like... With the Bulgarians, the Romanians are very competitive, like in soccer or national sports. They're very competitive, whatever. Romanian side plays a Bulgarian side. It really gets on. I like the two sibling football clubs in Romania and Bulgaria, because both were clubs affiliated by the respective armies, and they are like brothers to themselves. With the Ukrainians, we have nothing special, really besides of very well-known Romanian soccer trainer, who trained Shakta Donetsk for a very long time, and basically won everything with them as very respected there. Our best friend must totally be Moldova. These students from Moldova travel across the border to us to study, to work afterwards, and gain the citizenship many people, as well from Moldova and from Romania. We reunification again. We speak the same language, we have the same blood, actually, and we just want that back. We just want our little brother back. So that's basically it. Remember, Barbie, these are just things on the top of my head. I didn't quite do any research at all. And I'm sure you will find a lot of more cool stuff to teach the geographies. In conclusion, I hope you liked this video. I hope you learned something new about Romania from me, and I hope you would respond to me to this. And keep in touch. Stay safe, stay tuned.
