Translyvania

Review
Back at home. Home? Well. In Cluj, isn't is strange that I consider the campus housing "home". I think it is. I feel good here though, no objections. So last week I was for this trip in the Alps, skiing. We were 7 of us and we had a very good time. Sure ...

Transylvania
I dont know what it is, but it just sounds cool to say that we're in Transylvania! This city, Cluj-Napoca, used to be the capital when Transylvania was its own country. It's a cool little place which has a large universtiy student population, giving the ...

A return to Pantuflas El Grande
... of the girls on Sunday, and that was fun too. Cluj itself is lit up and decorated for the holidays, and it's really pretty. Romania still reminds me a bit of Mexico. The people are super friendly and warm, and there are lots of stray dogs running around. ...
Where is everybody?
