So interesting to see what foreigners outside of Europe or the US think of Obor Market, this is the market I grew up going to for produce and still go a couple of times a month, you even bought cheese from the shop I buy cold cuts for breakfast. Got there at one of the best times, when there's all the summer tomatoes and berries in season. These produce markets are all over the balkans but this one I think is the largest. And yes, Romania is a country not part of the slavic ethnic group and our language is a latin language like Spanish or Italian but with slavic influences whereas the others have other influences. That's why it sounds like slavic spanish in a way and it's easy for us to learn Spanish and Italian but harder for them to learn Romanian. Culturally I'd say Romania is Balkan so in that sense we are similar to the slavic countries around through shared history and influences(The Ottoman empire, the soviet communism, etc) and in Transylvania there's culturally more of a resemblance to the former Austro-Hungarian territory
