Awesome! This is great inspiration to go visit!
This is not Czech my friend is romania
🔥☀️🔥☀️🔥☀️
1:15 Timisoara is in Romania, why did you read it as "Temesvár"?
just go to the local pub and say "Hi There, can i sleep with some one?" why didnt I think of this~
yeah. what could possibly go wrong?!
You can even do it in public if you have at least 4000 Czech crown in cash on you :D
I couldn’t tell, is he being serious or not. Because 350 crowns isn’t bad for sleeping with someone 👀
Tomáš Hamsa, you’ve been watching too much PHub bro 😔😔
Ismail Haque What kind of a youtube channel is this Phub?
There’s also a Czech village in Serbian Banat that’s called Češko Selo(which literally means “Czech Village”) and with 39 Czech inhabitants it’s the only settlement in Serbia with a Czech majority population. It’s really small but they have a small museum and a really nice church and they’re really trying to keep the village alive
Also known as Fabian
There’s another one in Serbia called Bela Crkva. I have great friends there
@@PedroGiomo it's awesome in the summer. The lakes are great for swimming!
Drago mi je da nisam jedini iz Srbije!
@@saint7225 isto hahahahha
I love my country!
Greetings from the "capital" of Banat (Timisoara, Romania)
Never knew we had Czech settlements here in Romania. Funny how I've learned so much stuff I didn't know about my own country through foreign vloggers lately.
On je taky Čech😂 Jmenuje se Janek, proto taky nepíše normálně mezinárodně "Banat" ale "Banát" with á
Someday you should go look for the Czech towns in Texas.
There is a big Czechoslovak community in New York, I attended a wine/beer festival the last time I was in New York.
Small country, but all over the world.
or Chikago, the Serbian vilage in America :D
Been there :)
Yo best channel
aaaaa you were in Romania and I was not aware of this? Next time, come to Timisoara and we'll have a beer... or two
Lovely to see that you felt good in our Czech communities and that you kept returning every year. Greetings from a Romanian living in Brno
Here are the places in Serbia/Vojvodina, South Banat you can visit towns and villages where Czechs live: Bela Crkva, Češko Selo, Kruščica, Gaj, Kovin, Veliko Središte, Vršac. But, come to Serbia anyway😊 You are the best! Keep up the good work✊
Da li je nešto zanimljivo u Češkom Selu ili u blizini? Htio sam da posetim ovo mesto, ali trebam znati, ako tamo je nešto za turiste?
I live in Vrsac, come visit it sometimes! (Ja zivim u Vrscu, dodjite nam ponekad!)
In Vrsac is Romano-Serbians :) which is mean if i go in Vrsac ( in romanian Vârșeț) i can speak romanian :)
@@AdonisRoGaming My Family Is Half Romanian. But i dont speak Romanian
@@theslavictroll how can you be Romanian and don't speak Romanian? Serbians in Romania all speak Serbian. This says a lot about the freedom in Serbia
Lol. I'm a romanian and never knew that we have czech villages. Nice. We love the czech people.
@celebrul_anonim_ Valahia e termen general. Puteai fi și moldoveni și transilvăneni. Păcat ca nici in ww2 nu ne-am interesat de ei, nemții chiar i-au considerat superiori. Caută goranenVolk
With ❤ from my village Eibenthal and Sumita 🇨🇿🇷🇴
Este bn :))
Greetings from a Romanian, living in Prague, with roots close to that area :-)
You guys went to Romanian thats awsom i live in Romania Big fan!!!😁
NUMA NUMA EI!!
@@herschelgoeth6099 actually that song is moldavian😂
@@sepitko But it's in Romanian language
@@sepitko say what?
@@matusmotlo3854 oh you mean Moldova is Romania ?
You should definitely visit the Czech villages in Vojvodina (Serbia). There is literally a village called Češko Selo, which translates to... Czech Village. :D
Really beautiful to see there are some villages with a very traditional life style
@Thomas Wagner are you from there?
stateradio115 i can guarantee he isnt but he’s unfortunately right. I’m from there, if there’s anything you’d like to know dont be shy to ask
As a Romanian myself, I had no ideea there was such a village😍
Looks very beautiful, it may be an authentic traditional Romanian village. You should do visit more of Romania, so many undiscovered jewels waiting to be seen 😍😍
It looks like classic Czech village :-)
He won't even go to Brno, so you are wasting your time asking. Sorry.
@@ColinH1973 what are you talking about when did he say that?
Well this location historically belonged to Hungary. Together with whole Transylvania. Many Czechs went there. Austria-Hungary was a multinational state. Romania got this territory after treaty of Trianon. But the people remained :)
@@saiien2 Transilvania is Romanian, we all know this.
This might sound sad, but I’ve been excited for this all week
In transylvania we say 'musai' when we must do something, I now know where the word comes from.
They have a similar word in Hungarian. They all probably come from the German mussen.
@@tibork9668 you have no ideea how much I've done that verb in my German class at school somewhere in Transilvania, but never thought about the connection...
In Hungary we say "Muszáj",but we pronounce it like you do! I'm a Hungarian student who studies Romanian!
@@CHXKEBLXOD I am actually a part Hungarian from my mother, but I don't know hungarian pretty well, only knew some words and how to read with pronunciation.
What transylvania are you dreaming about? This is Banat.
Next time you come to Timisoara let's have a beer(I am buying 😁).Great videos of Prague.Thank you for promoting Banat and Romania.Cheers and stay healthy!
Thanks Robert, I will look forward to that.
Maaan, I love this video!! My dad is from Svata Helena and it was super exciting to watch this video! Love these villages! ❤️
guys, yous should visit the czech community in bosnia when you find time :) mostly settled in sarajevo (80%)... evne the czech embassy is, of course, next to the brewery :D
The is also a really cool Czech community in banja luka. Most of them don’t even speak Czech anymore, but they still keep their culture alive
These languages are so similiar, sometimes you dont notice that you arent in the local community, kinda good place, but has been scammed once too.(Not counting the bosnian pyramid myth)
You guys and your videos were a great help for me and my friends when I was in a cultural exchange in Czech Republic 2 years ago. We met you once in Prague and you were so awesome to let us be a part of one of your video ❤️ But little did I know you would actually make an Honest Guide video about the Czech villages from Romania, my home country! Welcome and well, enjoy pălinca ! 😄
Hi, I'm from Rovensko and im really glad you liked it here! I saw you when you were here but it took me a while to recognize you and i also felt a bit awkward to say hi randomly. Hopefully you will visit again :D
Hi minqa i hope u are ok
Romanians are always surprised that there is a Czech minority in Romania ... Yes, we have been here for several hundred years, we exist ... even in Bucharest!
Byl jsem v eibentalu (tiskovém údolí) a v Rovensku bylo to super a krásně se o nás starali. To je hustý že si tam byl taky.
My lovely home region of Banat!The place where many cultures meet
..and romania tries to kill all different cultures..
@@akostest Az nem igaz úram
@@akostest pls stopp hungarian men :)) u always cry after this idiotic drream
@@iliepetcan1736 Akostest is right.
@@yes5339 i hope u have some good arguments trust me u dont have
Wow, it just looks so humble.
I am so happy you are in my country good luck broo
Někteří cizinci maj problém už jen s lokalizací česka a ty jim začneš motat hlavu ještě s Banánem :D
Banátem.
@@SilverSurfeq1989 To bylo schválně proboha -_-
@@SilverSurfeq1989 - r/whooosh
Wow.. i was shocked when I saw the title since I was born are raised in Timisoara bur I had no idea about these Czech villages from around. I am so glad that you have come and visisted and actually enjoyed your time in our country. Wonderful!!
The Czech consulate is in my town(Oradea). :)
There are a few Czech villages close by here too! Come visit again but announce it. I'll take you to a brewery for a drink.
I’m from the UK and visited Oradea last summer with my eldest son. We had a great time in your beautiful city. I can’t wait to return there sometime
No way! These are slovakian villages like Șinteu- Nova Huta, Valea Cerului - Čer Potok, Borumlaca - Borumlak etc! Budoi where is the slovakian high-school, Mădăras near Salonta, some villages near Marghita or Suplacu de Barcău. But siovakian, not czech! And of course in the nearby county, Arad, the village/small town with almost 5.000 slovaks and slovak maire!
Love this video!!!! I've been to Prague and your videos were my guide for the "hidden gems". Never thought you can show me a hidden gem in my own country. Really happy to see that in this channel there are some cool romanians also... not like the other ones from your previous videos. Thank you very much, guys!!! You are doing a great job!!!! Multumesc!
love from romania❤
Te pup
iee
Fortza
ahoj from Hong Kong! Romanian here with roots in Banat and Czech husband. Good video, keep it up
I am a romanian and i am so happy that you came here but i remained surprised by the diffrence between the names of the villages in czech compared with the romanian names
If you see something in Coca-Cola bottles and you are in the Balkans then you should know its most probably a spirit drink
Bine ati venit in Romania! Welcome to Romania (Dati like daca sunteti romani)
ce face
Salut!
Haha, nu sunt dar imi place limba romana si o invet! (Sunt ceha :))
I didn't even know that this place existed, you learn something new every day!
Welcome in Romania Janek, We love Czech Republic. Thank you for all your advises that i will need in 2 weeks.
Banát jsem navštívila dva roky zpátky, nezapomenutelné!
I learn a lot every time I watch his videos
Děkuju, že jste dali vědět lidem o tak úžasném místě, jako je právě Banát. Před dvěma lety jsem prošel pěšky některé české vesnice a nenapadlo mě, že se tahle místa někdy objeví desítkám tisíc lidí na vašem kanále. Třeba to i pomůže některým lidem žijícím v těchto vesnicích, protože způsob obživy tam není jednoduchý.
My great great grandfather came from village of Gernik to Serbia. I can't wait to see village of my ancestors!
POV: UR LOOKING FOR THE ROMANIA COMMENT WELL HERE IS IT "FRATE"
I am here frate :)))
good luck fratilor
Díky za tohle video! Moji prarodiče vyrůstali v jedné z českých vesnic v Rumunsku a bylo fajn se tam aspoň takhle virtuálně podívat 😊
wow... I never saw this I'm now INTERESTED!!
Miluji když Vám každý kdo pálí říká: "Ta není silná, taková jemná.". Skvělé video, díky za inspiraci!
I am from romania,and i've been watching your vids. ♥️♥️♥️
And just yesterday I was telling my friend about Czech and Slovak villages in Banat. Weird but in a nice way :D
Thanks to you guys, i learned something new about my country. Hated history and geography, but you make them interesting. Can't wait for more.
Its in the area of city of Moldova Noua cohnty of caras Severin and ne-ar to head of decebalus :)
I've been to Timisoara but had no idea of all this other rich, cultural heritage. Superb tour!
Im watching you for a few years now, and im from Romania. btw, i visited prague 4 years ago, great city !
I've been recently in the area and found out there were a lot of czech villages near the one I had visited. Thank you for sharing with us your experience from there! That festival looks fun :))
I hope u have enjoyed Ur time here ;)
Ooooh, from 6,000 km away I found my birthplace, Banat, in a video about Czech people. Thank you, my heart started to run faster and that strong feeling of "I miss my homeland" raises from the bottom of my soul.
I am from Banat. And also thanks for visiting ,I love your videos!
Another amazing video!!!!
„Hi there, can I sleep with someone?“. That‘s a question I use qiete often while visiting the local pub.
😂😂😂
does it work as intended or it gets you in jail? :)))
Thanks man i have learned something about my own country Romania! You are doing a great job !
congrats bro , really nice , i am romanian and I never knew there are czech villages in my country , thats brilliant ! nice video and respect for the work put in the video .
I'm happy to see you've been in Romania and welcome, especially in Timisoara (Temesvár) my home town...
Actually they were in a Czech village located in Romania but it counts :D
@@saiien2 Yes, but to get to those villages they flew to Timisoara, as they said...
In Romania, we usually keep the "hot drinks" (tuica, palinca, rachiu) in water bottles, and the wine in Fanta and Coca-Cola bottles. Sometimes we keep the "hot drinks" in beer bottles (like Grolsch bottles) :D
@@liviurau4036 yeah j have tight :)) bottles are everything dont dropped anywhr
Oh my god my favorite country
I m from romania. I watch you since 2018. I like your channel.
Wow, it's amazing that you're able to travel now. Enjoy yourself and stay safe!
I think it was recorded earlier. Janek said the music festival happens in August. Perhaps last year.
My parents come from a German village in the Banat. Nice!
Your videos are always so cool. Na zdravy!
LOL, out of the Grolsch bottle!!! Greetings from California! Very interesting episode, I had no idea about small ethnic enclaves in Banat.
Te urmăresc de ceva timp, mai exact cu câteva săptămâni înainte de a vizita Praga! Ești super tare, un ghid onest, asa cum te recomanzi! Ma bucur sa te vad în România! Succes 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
Ty Vole, my favourite thing to say in Czech when something cool happens!
To jsem nevěděla, díky
Amazing post :). Hope that you really enjoyed Banat. Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but the village "Eibenthal" has also the Czech name of "Tisové Údolí":
Super video!! Na festivalu Banát jsem byl v roce 2019 a párkrát jsme se tam potkali a nevím jestli znáš jirku řeháka ale je to jeden ze zakladatelů festivalu a můj dobrý přítel. Fakt super video!
There are also about 50 thousand Slovaks in the Serbian province of Vojvodina across the Danube from Banat
heeey, thanks for putting Romania on the map! I didn't know we have Czech minorities, only Slovak. This video makes me want to visit that part of the country, even though it's kind of inaccessible. Greeting from Cluj-Napoca, in the neighbouring region of Transylvania!
PS: if you consider visiting let us know, Romanians will definitely take you out for a beer
2:53 This is how you tell a Czech from a Slovak
Amazing! You should try to visit Češko selo (Česká ves) in serbian part of Banat (Банат). It is the only settlement where Czechs make majority of population. Also in Bela crkva you can find Czechs there too!
Dude, I'm Romanian and I was not aware it's so beautiful in those communities! Will pack up my motorcycle and head there this summer. Cheers!
Thank you for this...very interesting.....Like the Welsh community in South America.......same for Poles in other countries.
cool! I didn't know that! I've been to Banat rsp Romania a few times: it's an amazing country
❤❤❤❤
We missed you ❤
Welcome to Romania bud. I hope you've had a great time.
Welcome to Romania, Janek & Co!
To me, you're one of the best CZcamsrs out there along with Primitive Technology (the real Primitive one)
Welcome to Romania bro! 🥺🇷🇴
I love this! Where did you get the "Banat" shirt? I am from a Serbian village in Romanian Banat .. There are many Czech/Serbian/Bulgarian/Hungarian, etc. villages in Banat, and they actually have an interesting history...Especially during the communist regime - I encourage you to research the "Baragan deportation".
Cheers!
De unde ești hermosa
Love from Banat 💛💛💛
Good video especially for me as a Romanian living in Prague who really enjoys your videos. Just a few notes: It’s not “thousands of Km away but merely 800 from Prague to those Czech Villages”. Second, Transylvania and Banat were never part of the Balkans, neither physically, not culturally. Wallachia and Moldavia can be considered culturally as “balcanic” as they were were Ottoman Vassals for 400 years, but even them are not part of the Balcans geographically. We love the nations in the Balcans though, just needed to be specific. Also good job for everything you guys do!😇
Very cool thank for sharing
Greetings from Romania! Interesting story.
Your history lesson is...
Better than simple history and that's saying alot
Wow AMAZING GUYS😍😍😍 such a magic place ❤️♥️
Is 'mangic' Romanian for something? Just wondered.
Colin Harrison haha sorry! My mistake 😅 t9
when a real cz man says "they drink more than me" that is my time to exit the building!!! despite mu training in CZ beer, I know I can not keep up!!! LOL!!! thanks for this very interesnting video.
Tak teď se mi po Banátu stýská snad ještě víc❤😅
Love your vids
good job guys💪 Romania is a beautiful country
Hope your having fun in Romania, welcome!
Thank You!
Good video, greetings from Transilvania
It must be dark there now if you have come out of your crypt.
4:54 Does the s -> š change always happen in the Banát dialect? I also heard "šlivovice" (instead of "slivovice", the plum brandy) at 2:46
Place looks so awesome.
2:53 a "small" one ^^
greetings from romania.. when you can visit maramures.. you will be surprised how beatiful it is
