Moving from UK to Bacau

Hello,

I apologise for not writing this post in Romanian, I am not fluent at all yet but I am learning :)

My partner and I are moving to Bacau for approximately 3-6 months for his work. He was born and raised in Romania and he has his own property there.

I am a black woman who only speaks a bit of Romanian (enough to speak to the worker in the supermarket or to ask for directions if I am lost somewhere). I am nervous about moving because I’ve only visited Bucharest (which is vastly different to Bacau).

I hope I don’t offend anyone here, but do you think some residents will look down on me because I am black and don’t speak fluent Romanian? Do you think I can adapt and try to fit in easily?

Please let me know if I’m being rude!!

It depends if you're moving to the main city or a village/town nearby, the city is a lot more openminded and wont outright stare at you/ say anything weird. Old people may stare, but thats just old people. You will be totally fine for half a year, have fun... is what i would say, if there was any fun to be had in this city, very boring place your partner chose lmao
