November's Festivals in Cluj-Napoca

November brought in town two festivals that we love: Temps D'Images and SoNoRo.

During 11-20 November, Festival Temps D'Images connects us to the reality and reminds us of us and of the time we live. Events will be organized at Tranzit House, Paintbrush Factory, National Theatre and Hungarian Theatre.

On 19, 20 and 23 November, SoNoRo will bring one Lisztomania evening at the Ehnographic Museum to celebrate the anniversay of the great piano virtuoso and composer (the actress Maria Dinulescu will read fragments of Liszt's writings), one Matinee with Dvorak, Antheil, Rolla at Tailors Tower, one New World evening with compositions of Philipp Glass, Edward K. Ellington, George Gerswhin and Antonin Dvorak in Diesel Club and Finale at Babes-Bolyai University with Dvorak, Bartok and Dohnanyi.

We hope that you'll be there again and  that you will have as much pleasure listening/watching all the artists as they have performing for You!

The boys are back in town (Cluj Arena update)

The new "Dr Mircea Luca" Stadium (aka Cluj Arena) was officially inaugurated.
"U" Cluj played at Home against Kuban Krasnodor. 

Welcome Home!

My cousin Andy was the representative of our family at this game. A representative with plenipotentiary powers:-P

Earth Car Free Day in Cluj

If you have/rent a bike "be the change you wish to see" and join the Marching Bicycles, tomorrow, 22nd of September, from 5:30 PM. Starting point is in I.L. Caragiale Park.
The event is part of European Mobility Week and celebrates the Earth Car Free Day in our hometown.



Earth Car Free Day is an event organized in hundreds of cities and neighborhoods around the world, and there's not a government, international conference, or treaty negotiation in sight. Despite its somewhat drastic-sounding name, the goal of the day is not to take every car off of every street on our choking planet. The target is much more modest. It is, for those who wish to participate, a day of open reflection on the problem of cars and traffic in cities. It is also a day to encourage people and communities to learn about and even try alternative ways of getting around in their own cities.
