December in Cluj

 So I'm back in Cluj after having spent Thanksgiving in Boston with family and friends. I actually came back on Dec 1st, which happens to be Romania National Day. Many events took place during the day which concluded with a "retirement with torches" followed by fireworks on the piata next to my appartment. Today, I went to the art museum, and took more pictures of the Christmas decorations.  One thing for sure is that the city does not spare anything when it comes to ligths decorations.

Today is the second turn of presidential elections in Romania. The results so far are 50% each. This promises to take a long time...


The last time I witnessed a "Retraite aux Flambeaux", I was probably 8 years old, in my hometown in France.



Fireworks over the Orthodox cathedral.

The Opera

Christmas trees and decorations on the piata Avram Iancu.

Colored fountains on Piata Unirii

Totally off topic, but so cute. A real Fiat 500

Ciao Cluj!

  1. When you were here over Thanksgiving, I noticed you were pale and what were those two bite marks on your neck about? ;)
