Bistro, in Savadisla.Savadisla...
by lichinga
Bistro, in Savadisla.Savadisla is a small Hungarian-like village on the road from Cluj to Baisoara, some twenty minutes away from downtown. I was there in Easter period, so I had 'drob de miel' (miel means 'lamb'): it's prepared with finely minced lamb's liver, interiors, eggs and vegetables, cooked and preserved within a very thin lamb's gut. It looks like a large 'salami' and it's served as an appetizer. During Christmas time, you may find 'drob de porc' (porc means pork... it's easy!). In fact, in Europe it is usual to have the pigs killed in winter and the lambs in spring.
Another very interesting dish I had was prepared with roasted 'fasan',
a wild bird with a long brown-reddish tail; it was served with fried apple slices, fried potatoes, lemon and cherry jam. I loved it!
The University Babes-Bolyai
by Fam.Rauca
This famous university from Cluj-Napoca, named according to the Romanian biologist Victor Babes and the Hungarian mathematician János Bolyai, is, with its 45000 students, the biggest and the most complex university from Romania.
Already in the year 1872, the first university was established in Cluj.
In the year 1959, the two universities from the city, Babes and Bolyai were unified into a single: Babes-Bolyai, with Romanian-Hungarian teaching languages.
The institution has 22 faculties.
My middle daughter is registered this year 2007, for a semester, as understudy student, into this famous university, to the foreign languages faculty.
She has the possibility and the luck to live into this beautiful city for a few months.
Citadel - Dealul Cetatuia
by Aitana
An Austrian fortress was built in the 18-th century on top of a hill. The “citadel” actually was built to ensure control, rather than defense, of the city.
The fortress also served occasionally as a prison.
The hill offers the best views of the city and the surrounding landscape.
