I visited Cluj in 1981 - Ceaucescu time.
On the street a woman adressed me in Hungarian.
I replied that I don’t speak Magyar .
I used my Rumanian which was leaky.
She said: I can see you are Hungarian
You must not be afraid to speak your language
We are proud to speak Magyar.
I told her that I was proud too,very proud.
Not conviced - she left.
Those Magyars.

נושא: [Cz-L] Arrival in Romania
Dear all,
My Romanian journey started. Today I arrived in Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár, Klausenburg), a city in Transylvania (Siebenbürgen). The city looks run down, maybe also because of the gray weather. I looked at the crumbling facades and wondered if there is a future beyond the visible past. Two synagogues are preserved. One that looks like a strange functional building and a second in Moorish style. Tomorrow I will travel further with my friends Petra and Achim to Suceava, the starting point of our journey through Southern Bukovina.

Warm wishes from Transylvania,
Christian
