Así es el TREN NOCTURNO entre RUMANIA y MOLDAVIA | MOLDAVIA #4

In this video I'm going to show you an interesting trip I'm leaving Moldova which I've been visiting these past days If you haven't seen it I recommend the video series I left in the comments And now what I'm going to do is take a train that will take me to the capital of Romania to Bucharest This is the country that's right here next to us But the train takes 12 hours to get from Kishinev to Bucharest So it's a night train It leaves now at 5 in the afternoon and arrives at 6 in the morning in Bucharest So nothing else let's see how well you sleep how good the train is I'm going to show you all this in this video I think it's going to be interesting it's going to be curious That's why I also feel like doing it because it's going to be a different experience Because obviously you can go by car by bus it's just 8 hours If you fly even though it's expensive the flight between Moldova and Romania is expensive But anyway it takes 40 minutes Obviously those are the best options The train is the slowest way and it's not the cheapest either So if you do it it's for the experience of living on a Soviet train But I'll tell you about it soon I'm now at the Kishinev station That's the train I'm already inside the wagon This train which has a super Soviet look as you can see It's a super old train that takes 12 hours to get to Romania so it's pretty slow But there's also something that happens halfway through that I'll explain to you later As you can see everything related to the upholstery and such is very classic There are two types of classes There is first class and second class The ticket doesn't vary much in price I think second class is around 30 euros The first class is 35 Then the difference is that in the second class there are about four bunks And in the first class there are two That is only two people can be there It's perfect I'll be here and I'll be alone in the beginning They told me no one else is coming I'm going to give you a quick tour of what the cabin is like since I have 12 hours of time What I have told you the train leaves at 5:20 and arrives at 6:10 in Bucharest So well I hope to sleep And nothing I'm going to give you the tour Here is one of the parts where you can lie down I don't know if this can be made into a bed or what Or if they'll give us blankets at night We'll see as we go There's a small table here Here with this blanket with the little train and such Here it says Moldova the curtains also say CCM Moldova It has European outlets here There's one on each side The light switches that are over there And here is the door to close There is the hallway I think there's no wifi It would seem very modern but okay And here is a small mirror both in front and back So well that's it The tour is ready We're on the move The downside of coming now in winter is that it gets dark very early Then it's half past five and nothing is visible anymore That means I'll have zero views of the trip Here you can only see the reflection in the camera I don't know if something nice will show up As a tip if you take this train I imagine that this will be most of the people who watch this video that you will be eager to take it I recommend that you have supplies for the trip Because there's no food sold on the train there's no bar nothing at all Then it's 12 hours you can get quite hungry Eating more when bored as it increases hunger Therefore I strongly recommend that you bring supplies and entertainment I've bought a lot of healthy food here which you can see around here And entertainment I brought the iPad here I have my phone I have headphones So I have everything I need to pass the time in peace Hold the plug and that If I had wifi I wouldn't even tell you but with the one that has a plug I'll be here as long as needed My plan is it's 5 in the afternoon I'll be here until 9 or 10 And by that time I'll try to go to sleep if possible And if anything happens I' ll let you know as it happens But I think not much is going to happen We have had almost 3 hours of travel We have stopped now at the border with Romania We are exactly in the town of Ungheri It is a village located here bordering Moldova and Romania They just asked us for our passport I still have it but now we will have to give it away We are still standing here at the border between Moldova and Romania It's interesting what is happening here because what they are doing is The train is constantly moving forward and backward a few meters And that's because What a blow They are giving the train constant blows Very strong and all with whistles and such I don't know if they can be heard But that's something quite interesting What is happening here between Moldova and Romania And what happens here is that the train has to change its wheels to put it briefly The thing is that the track gauge is different in Romania in Western Europe and in Moldova There are the train routes that go all the way to Russia This comes from the Soviet era In fact this was a idea of Stalin He wanted different widths o hinder the railway lines to complicate an invasion by Western Europe into Russia And this has lasted until today not because of anything historical or anything like that but because of lack of money This is a night train that is not very popular They don't have that many people Now there are people but nothing compared to the number of people moving between the two countries Most come by car or bus or in any other way The train takes 13 hours but 2 hours is the change of wheels We will be standing here for 2 hours But anyway it's something very interesting That's why I also wanted to have this experience I wanted to experience the wheel change And I also think it's so unique that I wanted to live the moment I've been lucky because they're just changing the wheels on the train that's stopped in front of me So I can roughly see the process Here you can hear a lot of hammering I think the one across is quite far along and ours is still waiting It's 10:30 at night 11 minus 20 We've been traveling for about 5 hours already Although it's good I've already told you that two hours have been spent changing tires And nothing else they' ve already asked for our passport twice At the Moldovan border Now at the Romanian border We are already on the Romanian side They have changed the tires and so on Well we've been stuck here for more than 2 hours in the same area The train will start again soon Straight to Budapest We will arrive at 6 in the morning That leaves about 7-8 hours So I'll try to sleep as much as I can It's almost 6 in the morning and we've just been woken up We arrived at 6:20 That is 25 minutes before arriving They are waking you up to get you to wake up And nothing else the truth is that it hasn't woken me up Because I've been awake since 4:30 I've slept terribly It's quite uncomfortable besides It seems bland but this leaves your back in bad shape And Well besides that with the train's jostling that makes a lot of noise They make a lot of noise whistling and such There's a lot of constant noise Which is why I've slept like crap I guess I've slept for 3-4 hours off and on Not continuously at all But anyway I've said it It's a different experience I'm glad I did it I would do it again Sure if I can avoid it no So nothing else see you next time
