the capitals (budapest/bucharest) the difference is the most noticeable. but even in the countryside, although transylvania is beautiful in many parts and the people seem nicer.   in matters of trustworthiness, helpfulness, intelligence and general vibe, the hungarians beat romania easily. in hungary you feel like at home, the people are nice. in romania everyone has suspicious eyes and act as if they're trying to scam you. they're also have a nonchalant "who cares" attitude about everything. romanians take no pride in doing maintenance, establishing order, doing things to perfection. everything is "fine enough" if it's pure dogshit. the culture of ambivalence is demoralizing. everything is falling apart, everything is a scam, nobody trusts anyone. also when you look like pic related they really love trying to scam you.  nazi germany would have had much to teach romanians.
