Apparently I've angered the Medium Gods as they have put another of your horseshit articles in my feed.
Do you make money just by trolling and getting owned in the comments? Or do you just enjoy being humiliated? I'm not kink-shaming. Humiliation (giving or receiving) is not my thing, but to each his own. Couldn't you just get a ball gag and have someone humiliate you at home? Writing horseshit like this might get someone to move to one of these "great" places and get very expesively surprised.
I'll only respond to 3 of your horse apples today, even though I could spend hours on these and another 5 countries on your list.
#12 One of my best friends is Lithuanian. Her folks comes every year to visit (just left last Saturday). My friend's mom does a year's worth of shopping for clothes and home goods while they're visiting (so much my friend has to ship all the boxes that can't fit in her mom's car) because Lithuania is so much more expensive than Austria (which is NOT a cheap country).
#4 Bucharest, where I've been traveling for 15 years, has the worst traffic in Europe. And with that horrible polution. And it's super dirty. Yeah, it is beautiful to visit once. Much of Romania is really, really beautiful. The people are wonderful. The corruption is insane. If you are not a local, good luck!
#1 You might mention the brutal civil war since 2014 in Ukraine before you recommend it. [facepalm] But the country is beautiful!
