Cluj-Napoca


I live in Cluj-Napoca. Cluj-Napoca is in the centre of Transylvania in the northwest of Romania.
Transylvania is a beautiful country: with hills, mountains, forests, wild boars, bears, wolves, deer, foxes, peacocks and pheasants. Hunting is popular and the hunters like to display trophies on their walls.

Ceauşescu used to hunt bears and deer and had thousands of trophies on his wall.
He shot the one of the largest bears in Europe--the champion bear trophy!!
But, if you go to Cluj-Napoca beware of the taxi drivers!
One day I had to go home from Bucharest to Cluj-Napoca. I had a free ticket for this flight and only had to pay the insurance.
After landing the taxi driver (who didn't know I was from Cluj-Napoca) said I must pay 50 Romanian Lei. More than the cost of whole journey and five times what I would normally pay.
I told him where to go!
