SIGHTSEEING IN CLUJ

Sunday (May 21) I spent the better part of the day walking around Cluj and enjoying the sights. I wandered into an incredibly beautiful Catholic Church called St. Michael's. Mass was in progress, and it was so peaceful and the singing was so beautiful that I stayed until the Mass ended...Down the street the Orthodox Church was so full that not everyone could get in, and the service was piped to the outside so everyone standing outside could hear. Did some window shopping, had a little lunch, and took quite a few pictures. Most interesting statue was of a Hungarian king where the word "Hungarian" was removed. There's a bit of tension between the Hungarians and Romanians. Nothing terrible but just a subtle thing. Too complicated to go into here, but nonetheless it was very obvious that the word had been removed from this statue...Cluj definitely doesn't have the smaller town atmosphere of Targu Mures, but it seems like a nice city with a lot of cool cultural things to do.
