Cluj and a birthday celebration

Sorry for the delay in posts, have had some kind of medical scare, which is perfectly fine now.
We went to Cluj by bus (sorry haven't got pictures from there). It was quite a bumpy journey, roads were pathetic to say the least. It was like a punishment, you couldn't fall asleep!
I think I love Cluj more than Timisoara, it's bigger and the population is greater as well. Timisoara has its own charm. You can walk everywhere. Everyone asks me if I will ever come back to Romania. I will definitely come back, when I retire and I want the peace and the quiet!

The trains have terribly stinky toilets. The next time I go anywhere by train, I'm buying myself a bag of diapers!

I have no idea how a car from Oregon crossed the Atlantic and landed in Cluj

The Cathedral in Cluj. It seems that most cities here have a Union Square (Piata Unirii and a Cathedral)

If you look closely both these buildings are an exact copy of each other. The left one is a museum and the right one is a Vodafone store (thus better painted) . Damn globalization.

I bet this owner deals in forex

We threw Liana and Ruxi a birthday party on Wednesday night. Marianna did most of the cooking. I was useless and just watching her prepare everything. On the menu was pasta, eggs with onion, peperonata, cake and salame turco (which is this incredibly delicious Italian sweet, but so easy to make!).

As usual we were harassing Vlad. You can almost feel sorry for him in this photo!

Liana began harassing Claudiu too

Salame turco

We tried to spell Liana with chopped bananas

Now its time to introduce people from work!

Gordana, I love love love her sense of style!

Andreaa, her make-up is flawless!

Liana, my buddy!

A special mention to the restaurant 'Ready's' where we eat at during the weekends. That was my breakfast: french fries, fried cheese, salad, pita bread and lemon tea. Delicious!

For Easter Sunday, we are going to the park for a picnic. On Monday, we are going to Sibiu by train and then coming back on Wednesday.
Right now the campus is pretty dead. Everyone has gone back home for Easter. All stores, hospitals etc are shut. We still have a lot of students in our dorm because most of them are internationals. Though the management doesn't seem to care. They won't switch on the heating, and we have to suffer by taking cold showers.
See you later!
