Michael Palin's New Europe - Wild Romania (my edit 1/4)

Another great BBC documentary, in which Michael Palin visits Romania.

I clipped off the Moldova bits from the original video.

BEAUTIFUL ...

[mailman63155]

There is still corruption, but it seems to be easing at street level.

@mailman63155 esti un prost :)) Si cam ignorant

[mailman63155]

@jestersunshine He's not a scholar, just a tourist with a camera crew. He can hardly be expected to get all the facts right. Relax and enjoy the fact this is a generally positive film.

So why did you cut-out the bits of Moldova? Following this documentary, Michael Palin said that the best place he visited was the Republic of Moldova, so I think its a shame that you removed those bits!

[mailman63155]

The country of Moldova is not the country of Romania. I'm posting this so I can embed it into a Romanian tourism page and the Moldovan bits are unnecessary for that.

Moldova and Moldavia were once ONE...thanks to the russians now there are TWO, and one is independent...forget the fact that they are of the same ethnicity, language, heritage, cultural background as romanians...i hate those fcking uralic motherfuckers.

even now they're planning ways to rape nations by economic blackmail in the energy sector.

Such ignorance is understandable when your name is "The SUN", not when you call yourself BBC. "Moldavia" and "Moldova" 2 different things??? "Moldavia" is only the translated name of "Moldova". The only difference is "MOldova" - part of Romania, and "Republic of Moldova" - ex part od USSR, stolen in 1939, and now independent country, but once part of Romanian Moldova. Learn history, BBC! That applies for other foreign media chanels too!

Those "Christian armies" are Bulgarian,they literally saved Europe from Islam.It's depicted there,because that part of nowadays Romania was Bulgarian in 8th century,for which we're talking about.Also there are thousands of churches like this in Bulgaria,all with golden iconostasis and walls painted with very old icons.My respect to our neighbours Romania,but my point is...WHY DID YOU POOR MAN PALIN SHOW THE WORST OF BULGARIA?!!!!!

@Kingsmead87

There is also corruption going on here in the UK too. That is true, look up the MP's expenses scandal.

[jestersunshine]

[GYKY62]

@Kingsmead87 yes like in any occidental country and it was they the occident who corupted Romania !!!

[edeszabo1977]

he talks a load of rubbish, he seems to be confused, not knowing the difference between Moldova and Moldavia it is a shame. At least try read about the country which you are visiting f**ck sake.
