    Bucharest inhabitant here. I can tell you that Ferentari got it's "fame" during the '90s to the mid '00s, back when almost ALL the neighborhoods were more dangerous. Nowadays it's not that dangerous anymore, especially if you go in broad daylight. Sure, it looks like crap and it's full of poor people, addicts, prostitution but the criminals are more reluctant now to attack random people passing through their hood. Also if you don't flex expensive stuff, the chances of getting robbed are very low. Still, I wouldn't venture there on foot after midnight.

    I’m an Englishman living in Almaty, and spent time in Odesa, Yerevan, Tbilisi, Bishkek and Moscow…and I can say that’s just how it is. Looks grim and is pretty grim but it’s nothing too ghetto. Just drug addicts and poor people…no proper gang stuff.
    To be honest I feel more intimidated in my home city of Birmingham in England in the wrong area.

    As a Romanian born and bread in Bucharest :D
    - Ferentari is not a suburb, it is a neighborhood. I think there's some political and economy implications. A suburb would be administrated by a local mayors office. Ferentari is administrated by the Bucharest General City Hall and also the 5th District City Hall. The 5 district also administrates one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city - Cotroceni.
    - 5:49 we have some even older trams (the Tatras) still woring on different lines :D
    - 7:33 - that long ass tin pipe is either an exterior garbage shoot, or a chimney tower for a restaurant located at the ground floor. If it's a restaurant they are oblidged by law to release the smoke above the building, and not into their windows :)
    - 10:51 - many of the residents in those buildings are drug users and ex-cons, illiterates, people who have turned their back to the system and the system turned its back to them. They live day to day, doing oddjobs to survive (foraging scrap metal, petty crime and so on) . Unfortunately these people exist in many countries and a city as big as Bucharest will naturally attract them.
    I hope you enjoyed your time in Bucharest :)

    • @nicolaeionescu6538
      @nicolaeionescu6538 Před 6 měsíci +2

      The General City Hall only administrates protected areas (Ferentari is not one of them) and main avenues. I think it lands on District 5 entirely. Everything else is just spot on. Too bad this area got stuck in time, it has been like this since forever.

    Heyo, I have lived there for most of my life, to be exact in the big block shown at 05:23, for almost 23 years. My parents still do live there. Now, they have let me live in their studio which was bought back in the 90s, when retail prices weren't that crazy, situated in downtown Bucharest. They have kept it hidden it from me, to not let me think I am too much of a privillage, I guess. This studio was used to rent, and by being situated downtown, now they kinda give me a chance to live in much of a better place after I left home, finished school and started working 🙌
    I know I am lucky lad, because rent prices/apartament prices in Bucharest have even passed central areas in some cities in Western Europe. Btw minimum salary in Romania is like 350 euros and the average rent in Bucharest is roughly 300 euro, where the average salary is around 800-900 euros.
    It was so funny seeing you taking 323 bus, because you know, that was my bus like 😂, been taking it all my life from the block to metro station or wherelse. Seen lots of crazy shit in that bus, like people fighting, opening doors while the car was still running, loots of roadmen and vagabonds using bus as a place to sleep for a few hours, avoiding winter's cold...
    Ferentari is a rough neighbourhood, indeed, but you can also meet interesting and kind people, not only drug addicts, pimps, smugglers, mafia and roadmen 😅 Also, on some streets around the places you walked, you have like crackhouse-crackhouse- 2 miliom euro house- same- crsckhouse. The distribution of wealth is highly unregulated in this neighbourhood and so visible.
    Even if you kinda missed its atmospheric vibe populated by manele playing out loud, I think you guys have an insight now hehe.
    Thanks for taking time to say hi to my neighbourhood 😎

That place was way worse when apparently it was still not the roughest part! But the amount of garbage, and the lack of metal.. there was a block with no doors and no railing, everything that could be stolen and scrapped, had been.

    You have this in a lot Eastern European countries. Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia. Go to the old parts of Eastern Berlin and you’ll be amazed by how shitty it looks. In all honesty, these neighborhoods are usually way better than you might think. Never felt unsafe when visiting these areas. Looks horrible, but it was a way of constructing homes back in the days of Communism.
    Edit: sorry guys I meant Eastern Bloc. Living in The Netherlands, we are also used to calling countries east of Germany ‘Eastern Europe’.

      ​@@Milosz5013 there's a big difference from the safety of a country and a neighborhood. Romania and Eastern Europe are generally safer , no immigrants what-so-ever. Even the gipsies are ok , they wont bother you if you don't look fancy. just a low % are making trouble .Ferentari is a dark place , even Taxis don't take you there through the night. There is a story i know , that a taxi went on "Liverzilor Street" and basically people stole the car.
      It's great to hear that you haven't got any trouble , but obviously is dangerous . Don't induce the idea that is safe to go on sketchy streets in any country.

Judging just by the news on tv (not an accurate metric, agree) the place is left just with the reputation as I saw on tv no major crimes committed in there (such as shootings and stuff which are anyway extremely rare in Romania so if it happens will make Breaking News) and as we all noticed, with junkies and poverty.

    You’ll find this type of brutalist architecture all over the eastern block of Europe. Some of these places might even not be too bad but they just look gloomy and unsafe. I think you’ll be fine as a tourist, the mafia usually just leaves tourists alone because their business model isn’t robbing tourists but racketeering and all the other traditional criminal forms of generating income.
    The only place I’ve ever felt unsafe was in Casablanca, Morocco. When you have groups of 10 men following you asking for money, then getting on a bus full of football hooligans, it’s definitely a bit intimidating.

    Thumbs up for your videos. In my opinion, what gives your videos value is your perspective which was constructed from, I'm guessing, living most of your life in these underprivileged environments. I also grew up in poor Melbourne neighbourhoods but luckily for me, my dad would take on an army alone to make sure I didn't stray towards the wrong crowds. He was a thug of a man, albeit in a one-man gang that passionately despised drug use and criminality. I've walked through all the poor neighbourhoods in Bucharest and Iasi dressed in shorts and a t-shirt wearing a Tag watch (I mention this to show that I could be a target), but no camera as I like to blend in as a person just meandering about in these very poor areas. Yes, these neighbourhoods are extremely poor and very sore to the eyes, but in terms of danger, day or night, excluding drug use, I felt far safer compared to many neighbourhoods of let's say Athens, Rome or Barcelona, and even some underprivileged suburbs of Melbourne. What your camera captured was the manifestation of some people/areas being left behind during a 30-odd-year transition from one polar opposite political/economic/socioeconomic system to another. When you feel hopeless, you become hopeless. When one has to rummage through rubbish bins that contain the rubbish of the poorest people in Bucharest, you immediately appreciate the circumstances these people are in and possibly accept that the neighbourhood could not look any different. “Poverty is the worst form of violence.” -Mahatma Gandhi
    When you're hungry, you're drug addicted, and there's scarce welfare, you're perpetually experiencing the violence Gandhi referred to. Considering this violence the people of Ferentari have/are experiencing, the literal violence they exact on others is surprisingly extremely low. Take care, bloke. Keep rockin' on.
