    Hi, yep, I know she's not from Transylvania, (I've read books about her,) but I just mentioned her as someone who a lot of people are intrigued with, along with Vlad Dracule Tepes, Gilles de Rais (from France,) etc.

    Btw, what is my favorite English Youtuber's dialect or accent?
    That's a southern accent in the second vid.

    Yorkshire puds are nice... they're a popular savoury food here that's eaten with Sunday Roasts. https://www.google.com/search?q=york...w=1277&bih=641

    Salt of the earth folks, not materialistic. It's refreshing. I suspect the women in the background are "strong on plow"

    When we arrived to Brasov, again dozens and dozens of Gypsies in the train station. While we were leaving the platform and the tunnels, I had to be avoiding Gypsies ALL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME.

    Same stories in Bran, Rasnov, Cluj Napoca and Sibiu.

    Wallachia worse, but Transilvania not very far.


    You had to inform yourself first. Trains in Eastern Europe as a way of movement are not the same as in Western Europe.

    Only low class people use trains because tickets are very cheap. They are also not maintained at all and every normal person would prefer to catch a bus or to rent a car. You can guess who uses trains in countries with high Gypsy population - those Gypsies who don't have horses.

    Most of the people that I saw in the Romanian stations were not Gypsies, afaik.

    I think it's creepy because it's associated with the Huns. They were creepy and evil.
    Attila's domain was actually more in Transylvania than Hungary. Few know that.
