I'm from Romania and I was curious to see what Romanian apartments look like these days. :) Thank you for sharing! :)
Thank you for the tour of your home in Bucharest. I am in Sydney, Nova Scotia which is Canada. I completely agree with your comment on the efficiency of cast iron radiators. I live in a restored older home in the city center which was built over one hundred years ago. I did keep these radiators in the upstairs rooms as they keep the space very comfortable during our winters. I look forward to more of your videos
Hello, Deb and greetings from Romania! I know exactly what you mean. I was raised at my grandmother's place, which is in an apartment building from 1930. My Mom was always very passionate about keeping most of it's elements intact: it has a huge french glasvand door, all the rooms have the original cast iron heaters, the floor tiles are from the time it was built. In my home I have also kept the bathtub which is cast iron as well. Was thinking of painting it at some point but I have to say I am not that happy with the idea - not sure how safe it is. Especially since you then expose it to heat, steam and so on
I have the same doors in my flat in Ukraine))). My flat was built in 1997 by romanian company "ARCOM S.A."
That's lovely! I watch channels with people from Ukraine and I can definitely see a lot of similarities with Romania (though I think life in Romania is strangely more expensive). I will definitely google Arcom. I am not sure who built the building I live in.
Send you love from București ❤❤❤ lovely. Mulțumim pentru tur❤❤
Buna, Clara! Multumesc si eu pentru sustinere 🥰
Romania is a beautyful and rich culture I love Romania from the beginning when I was very young. I have seen Romania many times in the movies. i want to travel romania in my life .its my dream place.best wishes from india.hugs romania

Hi Thanks for the tour of your lovely home. It’s so interesting to see how other peoples live and we are all so much alike in our homes and things we collect. Best wishes & God Bless.
Thank you for your kind words, Michael. It is true and I have to admit I was a bit hesitant to post this but everyone has been extremely supportive. All the best from Romania!

Hi, Brian! Thank you for watching. Have a lovely day! Greetings from Romania!
Wow, beautiful apartment, love your channel, greetings from Bosnia❤️
Hi, Ana, sorry for the late answer. Thank you so much. You have a beautiful country! Greetings from Romania!
Your apartment looks cozy and I love your artistic style! I live in the US and rent a 150 square foot apartment for $1400/mo so I'm a little jealous of the space lol
oh, my, that is a rather large sum indeed. I am guessing you live in a big city. hugs from Romania!
I love your home, especially your animals.
Hey, Carole! Thank you so much. I love them, too. Can't believe they'll soon turn 10 yo in April!

Greetings from Australia, thank you for showing us how people live in other countries, as living conditions in Australia are bit different, although we have more and more apartments, I would say vast majority lives in a stand alone houses even in the cities. Thank you for the video again.
Hey, thank you for joining! Australia looks like an awesome place tbh. It looks clean and filled with nature (and legend has it, by spiders and other critters :)) ). I have an Australian girl that I've been following on youtube for a couple of years: Sarah's day. And I get to see some bits and pieces from your lovely country. Not sure where she lives, though.
I thought it was funny when she was trying to show "how to die hair by moving the mirrors." It didn't show well in the video, but I know EXACTLY she meant, because I use that trick with my bathroom mirrors to cut my hair, haha!
Sometimes it's those human moments of a video that really makes them memorable.
Felicitari !
Esti minunata, sper sa ajungi acolo unde iti doresti:)❤
Multumesc din suflet! Inca ma straduiesc sa descopar unde. Chiar si la varsta asta :))

Than you so much. I just posted a new video.
Hi from Ireland .I have just found your channel. I would love to see some traditional Romanian dishes. I have recently become friends some people from Romania and would like to surprise them with a meal .
Hi, Edward! Ah, such a beautiful country you live in. I've always enjoyed watching movies filmed in Ireland, so much green, fairy tail scenery! I actually came across a Michael Flately tape when I was younger and I still know the entire show by heart. :D A video about Romanian food is definitely on my list.

Hi, Yvonne. I love your name. Used to have a co-worker with that name. I am really glad you enjoyed it.
The tiles in your bathroom are amazing please never change them
I think you are the only person who feels that way about them and thank you for that. It might actually not be a bad idea to keep it and just change other elements around it in the future. This pattern was actually considered super fancy back in the day 😄
@1day 1idea Definitely i honestly believe if you remove the tiles you will regret it and once they've gone they are gone forever lovely compact flat by the way
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Norm from Canada.
Hey, Norm. Thank you for stopping by and for your support! Haven't been to Canada but I have a friend who lives there and it seems like such a beautiful country!
Excellent tour of your Apartment.When I first moved to Copenhagen with my girlfriend,we lived in a 28sqm Studio,your place is Palatial in comparison,anyway,home is where the heart is....Subscribed :)
I actually was in Copenhagen when I was about... 14 years old. I absolutely loved it. Went to an amusement park. I think it was called Tivoli? Correct me if I am wrong. Yes, 28sqm is not that big but manageable 😊 all the best to you and your girlfriend!

Hi, Arturo! Muchisimas gracias. Que tenga un buen dia!
Imi place vlog-uriile tale, am crescut in bucuresti pe calea grivitei aproape de cartierul 1 Mai, cunosc zona SI e o zona frumoasa curata SI linistita, imi place SI prezentarea apartamentului , SI eu am avut calorifer de genu SI faianta in baie la fel inainte sa ma mut din capitala. Acest vlog imi reaminteste de copilarie.
Ma bucur ca ti-au placut. In ce tara te-ai mutat?
@@lifeinromania1688 stau tot in Romania doar ca in alt Oras.. tg jiu
Nice apartment 👍👍👍👍...love from Indonesia
Hello, Ida. Thank you so much. Greetings from Romania!
Si noi am pastrat caloriferele din fonta. Suntem multumiti de ele. Iar la casa parinteasca, de la tara, am pastrat sobele de teracota. Erau în perfecta stare de functionare. Ne-a placut si modelul si culoarea la gresie. Apartamentul tau e bine întretinut, curat si personalizat. In schimb, cred ca pe animale le cam jeneaza tipurile astea noi de parchet..
Ma bucur sa aud. Si eu prefer de multe ori sa pastrez, sa imbunatatesc acolo unde pot. Parchetul ne jeneaza un pic pe toti, din pacate. Am crescut intr-o casa veche cu parchet din lemn pe care il adoram. Asta nu se compara. Idealul acum ar fi scos tot, turnat sapa, pentru ca are niste mari goluri care nu s-a corectat doar cu izolatia aia, si pus altul. Nou. Preferabil din lemn 😁😁 sa nu mai derapam pe asta :))
I don’t know how i end up watching your video, but i have to say : You are so beautiful ! Go on , i wish you luck ! Greetings from Sofia :)
Здрасти! Hello, neighbour. Thank you for your lovely words! I visited Ruse and Veliko Tarnovo a few years ago. Such a beautiful city! Have a great day!

Hello! I live in a small space too, but i have created a nice decorated space for me...if the house is yours, or if you are allowed to make changes you can paint it, or you can paint the old stuff in it and it will look like new! you don't have to spend a lot of money or so to buy a lot of stuff, you can create beautiful space with the things you already have, just remodel them!For example you can paint white the bathroom, there are paints for bathroom tiles that are very economic, and it will look like a new bathroom(i am just telling some ideas). You don't have to be rich or have an enormous house to make it look nice for you❣
You are so right, Mary. I am constantly trying to make very small changes that will improve the way the apartment looks. The number one thing I have been doing for the past year has been constant decluttering and getting rid or things that I do not use (clothes, papers, miscellaneous etc). I have also just found a closet door at Ikea (Grimo), with a huge discount (it was around 6$), which I am hoping to use as a headboard to help cover up the deteriorated part of the wall as well as prevent further damage. I am considering painting the bathroom although a fresh start would be better for it as the walls are a bit swollen and crooked.
@@lifeinromania1688 yes, that is a very good idea! You can also paint old furniture so you do not need to buy new ones! I have done it to my apartment and they looked amazing! So if you have any old furniture somewhere, you can buy sandpaper to rub them and then paint them with a colour you like. Its a fun process and also renew your space with the minimum cost!
💜💜💜
From Los Angeles here, I've been having dreams of moving there , I work in tv amd film here as a makeup artist, but it's nice see and know that I can find resonable studios to live if I do, I'd need a a little more room lol! 200 250 euro places is amazing . A little paint and some plants sneak pillows om set..
Ha!! Thanks enjoy ypur vids
It's a very interesting city. I am pretty sure you would enjoy it
@@lifeinromania1688 I plan to visit soon
Salut din State, sunt din București!! Mi-a adus aminte de casa, mulțumesc!!
Buna! Ma bucur ca inca iti aduci aminte cu drag de Romania. O zi frumoasa!
du-te la mare anul asta. e la doua trei judete departare :D have fun
thanks share more of your town please
Hey, Catherine. Will do!
So nice mam,,,,i am coming Romania Bucharest in june,,,,,hope that i also get nice room,,,,like your,,,,,
Good to have you here! Do you know which area in Bucharest you will live in?
I have a large single family home now, but also raising 5 kids. With kids, I want them to have their own space. Kids crowded=bickering 24/7 lol. For just me, when they grow up (I'm widowed), that is all the space I'd need. For me alone, just a few rooms of peace and quiet would be perfect.
Balance is everything in these situations. In a way I would have really liked having such a big family like yours! But also a tiny place where I could escape for a day or two if needed. 😸
I like your apt, it's very nice, how long have you lived there? The bathroom tile does make me a little dizzy tho. Thank you for sharing.
Hey! Sorry to hear that. Hoping to get it remodeled in the next few years. p.s. I am a big fan of white so no more tile patterns.
I actually spent a few years of my childhood here (my first home after I was born). Then the place was rented for a long time. Then I came back here 13 years ago..
Thanks for the tour the place is alot cleaner than mine. Time for me to clean. If the building is sound earthquake proof.
I have a strange relationship with cleaning. Grew up in an apartment in a very old building. The apartment was huge and filled with stuff, furniture etc. It was impossible to get it cleaned up all the way through. Growing up I became more and more of a minimalist because of this. I can go into super cleaning mode or to super procrastinating mode :))
@@lifeinromania1688 My problem is that I do alot of physical labor at work than got into painting then headed to the farmers market on weekends. Just need to get organized and clothes and stuff get rid of thanks for ideas.
Watching from India
Hugs from Romania!
Thank you for sharing your cute little apartment. It is interesting to see how people live in other countries. I have not travelled across the Atlantic but enjoy National Geographic
Hello, Debra. So I understand you are from the U.S? Thank you for your supportive words. I know exactly what you mean, I really enjoy seeing different places and day to day lives of people from different cultures, as well. Greetings from Romania!
Thanks for showing your apartment. I visited Romania in 1993 but not Bucharest. Your English is very good. When I was there the water didn't run all the time and people filled their bathtubs with water so they'd have some for their needs when it wasn't running. Does it run all the time now?
Hello and thank you for watching! Yes, throughout my life I always had running water. Only in the past few years, because the city piping system is very old and they are trying to fix it, there are neighborhoods that go through long periods of time with no hot water or heat. Which is horrible during the winter. My neighborhood went through this last winter and just a little bit this winter. Very difficult and infuriating for everyone. Not to mention the electric bill goes through the roof because we have to use heaters etc.
Foarte frumos fi mandra zona foarte buna
Este. A fost bine ca a fost cumparat cand a fost. Acum nu m-as mai apropia la ce preturi sunt :))

Interesting, maybe you can show little bit more from everyday life in Romania.
Hello and greetings from Romania! I will definitely do that. What would you be interested in seeing?
@@lifeinromania1688 nothing special, just normal things from everyday life. Buying food or other stuff maybe on market, driving tram in Bucharest, so everything what normal people do. I also like impressions from the streets and area. Never was in Romania, but i plan to visit this country sometime. I love to see the area like a native. Of course little bit tourist stuff, but not too much. Useful was also the info when you show the bus terminal, from where people can go to this castle in last video. So have fun and thank you for your work :)
I really would like to visit Romania. I’m romanian so I think it would be pretty cool to check out the culture. Could you be my tour guide lol
Hello! Where do you live now? You know, all jokes aside I actually received a few requests for this and am seriously considering as I am really happy to learn and share more about my country. I would have to really polish up my history knowledge first.
I have always lived in the United States. My heritage on my dad’s side is romanian. We have always lived here in the us. I really would like to visit Romania though probably next year sometime. It looks so beautiful and the people seem to be very welcoming.
@@Zen-sl7de That is so nice to hear. I'm wondering where in Romania he is from? Yes, it is a beautiful country with mountains, hills, seaside and fun things to explore.
I am thinking about going on vacation in may. How is everything going on over there right now
Thank you for sharing your lovely apartment! I lived in a 1960s Yugoslav building when I lived in Sarajevo, BiH and this looks very similar--more so than the apartments that I experienced during my time in Russia.
I now live in Washington, D.C., USA and your "tiny" kitchen is twice the size of mine! I live in a very small studio in a 1930s Art Deco building, but in one of the nicest and liveliest neighborhoods in DC, so it is a trade off.
Hey, Megan so great that you have gathered this much experience. We actually have some really nice Art Deco buildings in Bucharest, as well. One of them is a very famous hotel. Happy to hear that my kitchen is NOT the tiniest ever :)) Looking at other people's (huge) apartment tours I did feel juuust a bit apprehensive sharing my place
Lovely, thanks for sharing. Love your pets!
Hi, Kc! Thank you so much for watching. I love them, too.
👏❤️👍
Your English is impeccable, you even use American idioms. Have you spent time in the USA? Your fur babies are gorgeous.
Bronx is gorgeous, and so laid back, I can see he loves you very much.
I have a very old dog named Coco. I live 4 hours north of New York City.
Hello and thank you for your kind words. I am very passionate about the English language and I actually feel that mine is a bit rusty since I haven't spoken in English in so many years. I would love, love, love to visit the U.S., but I haven't had the chance so far. To be perfectly honest... I am super scared of flying! Hugs and kisses to you and Coco, as well. I hope you get to enjoy your fur baby for many, many more years to come.

Hi, Davis! I think anywhere that is near a subway station is a great idea as it is the fastest way to get around Bucharest.
I have a Swiffer too!! 💜👍🏼😁
Hello, Peter. I have literally been passionate about this little product since I saw it in a CZcams video years ago. We've only just got in Romania last year. I bought it first chance I got with the intention of doing a review video about it before starting to use it. And I still didn't get the chance to do that due to extreme procrastination 😄

A question from India.on the outskirts of Bucharest,how moderately an apartment for an individual can be searched
Can you vissit the dracula castle?
Can you make a video about new apartments in Bucharest or about buildings by "ARCOM S.A."??))))
Yes, I definitely have that planned - the new apartment in Bucharest idea. There are so many types of apartments and homes here: from super poor and super tiny, to million dollar homes.
I think the best apartments where built in the center of the Bucharest next to the House of People, in the late 80 s for the communist comunity... The House of People is the second largest buildind in the world.. After the 89 revolution those apartaments were sold to average people.. Now most are rent for tourists... And in the north area next to Herăstrău Park. Bigger in square, more rooms, western concept like kitchen island, but also more expensive.. You have also duplex and penthouses.. Not so ok are the ones that are made nowadays like the ones in the suburby or downtown... Less intimacy, less space... You can see the neighbours balcony
@@dianaconstantinescu9986 I worked in Militari Residence and I had that exact feeling of living with my neighbour. The apartments were sooo close to each other.

Hi! Thanks a lot for your apartment tours information! I am wondering how much it's cost for monthly?
Hello! I am glad you enjoyed it. I am lucky enough to live in a rather good, central area. The studio is 37 sqm and costs around 270 euros/month. It is a rather large sum compared to Romanian salaries. But my studio was bought by my mother more than 35 years ago, during the communist regime, when prices were way more down to Earth than now. So I do not pay rent. You can find acommodations for a lot less than this in Bucharest

@@heather6987 Hi, Heather. I am truly sorry for your loss. I have been to Timisoara but many, many years ago. It is a lovely city and I have a few nice memories from the time I spent there. Unfortunately it is almost 400 miles away from Bucharest and to be honest, even though I try my best to show the good parts in Romania, the truth is that the roads here really suck. And we barely have any highways. So that makes a city that's a bit out of reach for me this very moment. However, if I get the chance to go there and an opportunity arises, I would be more than happy to share the experience.

Hello! First time on your channel. I am interested in your life. I am originally from Budapest, Hungary but live in the United States since 1957. Are you employed? Do you rent your apartment or did you buy it? How much is rent per month or to buy it? Is Bucharest safe? My sister-in-law is from Romania but lived close to Hungary so she speaks fluent Hungarian. My father was born in Szeged, Hungary so he went back and forth to Romania. I believe one time long ago these two countries were one. Correct me if I’m wrong. Do Romanian students learn English in school? Thank you and please don’t mind me asking many questions but I am curious and want to learn.
Your lack of basic history knowledge is out of this world - Hungary and Romania were one country? When was that? :)) If you want to learn a thing or two you can find "Memorialul durerii" on CZcams and you can see all the bad things that the Hungarians did when they occupied Romania - all the killings and so on...and now the leftovers are living in an area where almost nobody can find work or the salaries are low - so basically even now that population is kept poor by their leaders that promise to them all the time the union with Hungary just to get elected.
Hey, Joseph. This place was bought by my mom when I wasn't even born. Back then the prices were a bit more down to Earth. Rent in this particular area is around 300 euros. I am not sure how much it would cost to buy a place here but looking on real estate websites, people seem to be asking around 60,000 euros. But this is not a typical price for a studio in Bucharest (they're usually lower). This area is a bit more atypical. Yes, a lot of Romanian kids are taught English in school and most of us know how to speak English. If you ever visit Bucharest you would be able to communicate with almost everyone here. I am happy to hear you have Romanians in your family! And, yes, from my point of view Bucharest is mostly a safe space. Perhaps just try to avoid driving here as some people can get quite angry in traffic :))

Cost in US Dollars would be nice. 2022 prices for such a place ?
For renting around 300$, for this particular area. For buying, around 75k. People seem to be asking for that amount but I am not sure if others are actually buying. The prices vary a lot from one area to another. You can buy studios for 40k, as well.

Sorry for asking ,hope I am not mean, but what is the purpose showing your apartment? It’s not kind of apartment that needs to be shown necessary. Pls do not take me wrong , it’s just an innocent question 🙋♀️
Hey! I considered doing this video because I enjoy watching these types of videos myself. Especially when it comes to people documenting their lives in countries different than mine. I love seeing how other people who share this kind of content live, what traditions they have, what types of food they eat and so on. I know it is modest but it is my home at the moment. And the interesting part is that I am sure there are people who are watching this that live in much better conditions just like there are people who have messaged me saying they live in poor conditions and would love to live where I live. It's just a documentation of regular life.
@@lifeinromania1688 I understand!🤗
how much do you pay for rent and how much for utilities
Hello! I do not pay rent but, in this area, rent is around 280 euros for a studio apartment (39 sq m). Utilities depend on the season. Right now I pay a total of: 100 euros - which includes the running water, gas, electric bill, internet etc
@@lifeinromania1688 hello, on average how much do you pay for water, gas, electric bill, internet, do you know a realisble real estate agent or agency to contact to find a studio apt
How much two bed room for rent
Hi, Samantha. Well, it really depends on the area and your budget. On average 2 bedroom apartments are around 350 euros at the moment.
Is it your property or are you renting?
Hey, Ludka! It is my apartment. It was bought by my Mom when she was very young.
@@lifeinromania1688 May I know what are the costs of paying an apartment? Or better can you make a video about living and costs in Bucharest? Its an interesting topic.
@@ludkamotylikova3060 I will do my best. In this particular area, the price for renting an apartment (39 sq meters) is around 280, even 300 euros. There are areas where you can rent ok places for 250 euros. It all depdends on where in Bucharest you want to live.
what is the average cost of living in romania ?
Hello, my next video will be about this. I will try to incorporate as much as possible about rent, food expenses and so on.
@@lifeinromania1688 Thank you so much, glad to know you are willing to make a video regarding of the idea despite the covid and probably possible refugees in the country, thank you again and wish the best.
@@teatime7807 Thank you for the support and lovely thoughts!
Cand am vazut piata aia de pe vremea lui Pazvante Chioru' , zău asa , nu ai gasit si tu una modernizata ca sa dea bine la clip ?
Greetings from Barcelona ! It most certainly brought me back on the memory-lane (borough of Dristor - Salajan). You are a lovely girl, and this brings me to what I was actually thinking during the time I watched our video. The is not a great deal of work and neither investment in order to give an aesthetical lift to your apartment. I am sure you have some male friends, you must have. For a few seconds I felt a bit ashamed with my male Romanian compatriots who are your friends and are not helping you, not even with drilling a few holes and help you hung those cabinets. What a shame! Anyway, you are a lovely girl and I am sure you have your own reasons for not asking for help. Cheers girl, and keep the videos and ideas coming.
Hey, Costel si multumesc ca urmaresti! I do have some great people in my life and the cabinet is now officially and finally up on the wall and looking great. My goal in the near future would be to find some cheap ways to switch up some things that will improve how the place looks. For larger renovations I unfortunately have to wait as I am only working part time at the moment and have some other priorities financially. But I am very optimistic that I can still do some nice stuff with smaller amounts. 🥰
I really like this video. besides a beautiful house, you also have a very beautiful smile. I smile when you smile too. I hope you have Instagram, to see more of your smile. greetings from Indonesia
Greetings, from Romania!

Hello! I would be more than happy to. I actually just did my first Bucharest tour with two lovely ladies from the UK last week. I helped them out with their vacation - found acommodations, recommended restaurants, parks and sightseeing tours. I have just created an instagram account. You can reach me there: instagram.com/1day1idea_ro/

Diffusere are dangerous for cats. Please dont use them.
Hey, Yannick. Thank you for taking the time to share this with me. I actually use the diffuser quite rarely and use around 2-3 drops of food grade (can be ingested) essential oils for the entire diffuser. I always thought this would be safe for humans and pets alike.
was in bucuresti more than a 10 years ago, at friends flat near bucuresti nord train station..it was still like ex soviet ambient, which i liked..flat of this age is like classic interior style.i remember dogs all over the streets and gangs of little children..was planning to go even further to kisinev but didnt have visa..was nice time in bucharest.greetings from croatia..and dont wear the mask outside, dont accept being under this vaccination terror.
Hello! So nice to hear you have been here. Yes, Bucharest does have quite a lot of issues though I am using my videos to try and get myself to focus on the good side of the city. The dog situation has been managed (in a horrible manner) but there are no more dogs on the streets. Yes, the city is a very interesting architectural mix, with some soviet influences that makes it resemble parts of Russia and Bulgaria. p.s. about the mask, unfortunately it has been mandatory. Trust me, I m not the biggest fan. Especially since tons and tons of people around me are getting infected, even with wearing masks and vaccinations and so on. I have 10 friends and family members who got covid in the past few weeks. Myself included. Fortunately everyone is ok.
There are no more dogs or gangs on the street since more than 10 years I think 🤔
The dogs…. Hmmm let’s just say that they been killed by the city hall because they been to incompetent to find a different solution.
And the kids gangs I guess mostly was about the homeless gypsy kids that now they grow up and they go abroad to the west for a better life.
Bucharest has improved a lot last 10 years, but of course there are still issues mainly the horrible traffic (every Romanian and his dog have a car 🤣) and the overall infrastructure for pedestrians and bicycles.
@@lifeinromania1688 will probably travel once again to bucharest and down to moldova, shame for the dogs, i kind liked that street ambient over there, like true balkan style.greeting from Sibenik
You are beautiful
You are beautiful
Wow, so houses and villas were torn down for a bunch of these complexes with puny apartments. Communism sucks. I have 2,200 square feet. I worked for it and pay for it. I would hate for my government to take it from me.
Hey, Donna! Unfortunately, yes. During those times they built a lot, a lot of factories and brought in people from smaller cities and rural areas to work in them. And in order to accomodate those people, they tore down houses and villas to built these complexes. Fortunately, I actually live in an area that has pretty large studios and apartments and that also has plenty of quieter streets with charming houses.
@@lifeinromania1688 : oh please. De ce aceasta tendință de a exagera ? Situația caselor in Bucuresti era dezastruoasa. Insalubritate , case intr- o râna, o cișmea in mijlocul curții si 3 familii care o utilizau ...and so on. Dudesti, Moșilor, Iancului, Obor ...etc. ...erau intr- o paragină. Câteva case car erau mai ...acătării. Ce si câte vile mari au fost dărâmate ? O sistematizare a unui oraș nu se putea face fără anumite dărâmături. Lumea are memorie selectivă. Ce bucurie era sa stai la bloc , sa ai caldura, apă curentă si caldă. ( după 85 am mai avut ...din părți) . Nu glorific nimic . Dar și sa lăsăm impresia ca s- au daramat case ..boieresti...
ca la Paris, mi se pare toooo much. E fara ofensă. Dar am simțit nevoia sa intervin. Va doresc o zi bună si succes cu vlogul. Numai bine .
@@cameliap1146 Interesant ca asta s-a inteles. Am scris "houses and villas'. Nu vile de lux. Recunosc ca nu am asistat la daramarea lor, stiu doar din povestiri. Iar in clip faceam referire la zona in care stau eu, unde nu erau doar case intr-o rana. SI nu am zis nicio secunda ca este rau ca au fost daramate. Chiar iubesc blocul in care stau. Poate doar estetic, vizual, prefer sa fie un echilibru tip case + blocuri in detrimentul cartierelor care au exclusiv blocuri. Dar asta este doar gustul meu :)
@@cameliap1146 P.S Si e foarte utila interventia ta. Orice feedback este binevenit! Pe masura ce mai fac clipuri, invat din ce in ce mai multe despre Bucuresti si Romania.
@@lifeinromania1688 : intreventia mea nu s-a vrut agresivă sau offensantă. Doar o rectificare sau o alta perspectivă a situației. Cu titlu informativ: pe vremea " aceea" Bucurestiul era oraș " inchis". Erai Bucurestean prin nastere. Sigur. Se devenea prin ...casatorie, angajare / repartiție după terminarea studiilor sau prin achizitionarea unui ap. " proprietate personala" - ceeace nu era chiar la indemana tuturor- Ipoteca era cam 25...30% dintr- un salariu ( ca orice ipoteca pe lumea asta...dar s- ar parea ca mulți au uitat). Cei care veneau sa lucreze in marile uzine din București ( IMGB, 23 August & co.) erau oameni din București , mulți din " periferie" si ...da, unii din provincie. Ca sa stea in București , trebuiau sa aiba o adresă " flotant". Bref...nu era chiar asa de simplu sa "stai" în București. Daca va interesează, faceți o tură intre Sf- Gheorghe spre Moșilor...-nu stiu ce nr de tramvai mai trece pe acolo-. O sa va dea o idee de cum arătau casele...nu mai vorbim de interiorul curtilor, igrasia din case ...and so on. Reiterez. Nu fac apologia guvernului Ceausescu. Dar situatia orașului era destul de complexă. Si nu uitați. Era modelul " standard" de construcții de blocuri ...in toată lumea. - criza de locuințe era acută peste tot-. Le Corbusier a propus ceva similar . Uitati- va la " banlieue" - ul Parisului/ Marseille... ( si nu numai !) Oscar Niemayer a facut acelasi lucru la Brazilia. La noi , pacat ca nu sunt întreținute de coproprietari - ptr că ...Da , in România, 85% din populație est proprietară- ceeace este un imens avantaj- Așteaptă sa faca guvernul... întreținerea ! Infine ...ar fi multe de spus. Va doresc succes cu vlogul.
