How can a person doing the same job struggle to make ends meet on one side of the border while simultaneously planning for the future on the other? We're exploring this question on a road trip from Istanbul to Romania.
My mother and I set off from Istanbul, cross into Bulgaria via Kapıkule, and reach Romania via the Vidin-Calafat Bridge over the Danube. Our final stop on the first day is Arad.
Along the way, we discuss the hidden costs of the trucks waiting at Kapıkule, Schengen, Bulgarian politics, and the history of the Balkans. Is converting prices to Turkish lira enough to understand a country? How many hours does it take to work for a tank of gasoline? How much does building a bridge change the lives of the people living around it?
In this section, stretching from the Danube coast to the roads of Romania, we look at the economy behind the landscapes we see.
On the road, the Academy's European journey begins.
SECTIONS
00:00 We set off from Istanbul: Same labor, different lives
02:11 We can't make a living in the big city, why can't we leave?
04:10 Kapıkule: Who pays the price for waiting?
07:25 Schengen and Serbia-Romania route choice
09:46 Bulgaria: Affordability or purchasing power?
11:45 Elections and small towns in Bulgaria
14:49 On the banks of the Danube: Vidin, history and drought
17:33 Can a bridge enrich a city?
20:06 Crossing a bridge from Bulgaria to Romania
22:55 From Orsovo to Arad: Romanian roads
Route: Istanbul → Edirne → Kapıkule → Sofia area → Botevgrad → Vidin → Calafat → Orsovo → Timișoara → Arad
In your opinion, what best indicates that life is good in a country: the amount of salary, the number of hours worked to meet basic needs, or being able to look to the future with confidence? Let's discuss in the comments.

Çok güzel insanların yaşadığı, dileyen herkesin bağ kiralayıp., kendi şarabını ve erik rakısını yapan bir köydük. Köy kenarında, şarap ve rakı damıtma binası vardı.
Okulumuz tek kelime ile şahaneydi.
Ülkemizdeki yaşantımızdan memnun olmakla birlikte , özlemle anıyoruz o köyümüzü.
Hayvan muamelesi görmekten sıkıldım. Etini ye sütünü iç arada otlat, Oh ne ala memleket!!!
Batıyorsa batsın ben bir kurtuluş savaşında ölmeye razıyım yeter ki onurum her gün aşağılanmasın. Onurlu ölmek onursuzca yaşamaktan evladır.
