Theatre Day and upcoming spring

The 27'th of March is the Theatre DAy...i think it goes international. Anyway for this special cultural day The National Theatre fron Cluj-Napoca opens its doors for everybody who's interested in visiting it for free...And when I mean doors I'm not particularly refering to the main entrance, but the actors' cabins, the backstage, the dark unseen corners of the building, etc. We're planning to go....won't be something outrageous, but something cute!

And yes, finally sping has arrived in Cluj-Napoca too. We're expecting the upcoming days tempretures of 15. Tomorrow if the weather is still friendly we're planning to participate to the cycling session in order to celebrate The Earth Hour, probably to see some Thetre Fashion Exhibit in Polus Center and then turn off the lights for one hour....I HOPE YOU DIDN"T FORGET THIS ONE!

Sunday we're going out in the nature at a traditional Romanian bbq with mici and fried chips! God how I love spring!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Yes! It's unbelieveble! In the morning it snowed again in Cluj so probably it snowed in the mountains as well. To be honest, we really thought this year's skiing sessions are over. But it seems that the slopes are still snowy and waiting for tourits...so probably this weekend we'll go to Baia Mate visit the parents and also going to Suior for ....I was almost saying "the last skiing this spring season...

So let the spring wait for a few days!

Chain reaction

Some months ago I've heard from a friend (George) about a public cycling experience in Cluj, in order to advertise this mean of transportation within the city. Cycling in Cluj is quite an adventure these days and you must be very careful in order to stay alive.
This public programme cycling through the city in order to convince public and authorities that they must support and legally organize cycling tracks, in order to be a solid alternativ tu urban GREEN transportation.





Now that the spring is trying to come (still very cold in Cluj) I think we will take part to the next cycling session in the 28th of March - I've heard is also The Day when the lights will be turned off (One os The Saving The World Campaign)all around the world.

For more details see the website: http://www.reactieinlant.ro (in English chain reaction.ro). Hope this GREEN campaing will work!

8th of March

For a few years now I have a dilemma: Is the 8th of March Mothers' DAy or Women's Day? People I've asked about have different opinions. I remember when I was a child that all we did that day was for mom: postcards, flowers, presents, etc. But also for our teachers....
Now that are people congratulating mwe for the 8 th of March but they seem to do it only out of respect and only after having a revelation: "Oh you're a woman too...Congratulation!" :)

Soooo, is it Mothers' Day or Women's Day on the 8th of March???

Anyway, for all the women out there: Congratulations and wish you a nice spring and a successful year!

Wandering, skiing, relaxing...

We've taken a short 3 days' trip to Borsa with the intention to have a nice weekend skiing. We were at first undecided: to choose Straja or Borsa. We haven't visited these 2 places for quite a while so were both supposed to be a surprise. Luckily we couldn't find accommodation in Straja and I say luckily because in Borsa the slope is much entertaining then in Straja.
So Thursday morning we left Cluj in the early morning and with our two seats car headed for Borsa. The weather was nice an sunny and we were thinking only about skiing, relaxing and having fun. We decided to stay at a pension house we found on the internet and it turned out to be a good choise. It was the house of some young fellows, very clean and very welcoming. Wow!



It was our skiing in Borsa after at least 5 years. The slope looked good! Few people skiing, meaning that we didn't have to spend a lifetime waiting in a queue to get up the mountain, a sunny day and 2 guys eager to ski.
It was as we reminded and expected! Same Borsa aprox. 2 km of pretty hard slope. We had plenty of photos so you can enjoy. The nature is simply breathtaking in the mountains.






The local people say that soon there will be another "hardcore" slope in the resort but who knows...the rumors are very old and nothing much happened so far. But this time they say that the summer of 2009 will be the one to open it. Will see! it will be a great advantage for the area and for the resort which is one of the finest (I think) from RO. Maybe I am a little subjective here as Borsa is in Maramures. Anyway we'll go back there as soon as possible...but preferably during week-days. Weekends can be frustrating in Borsa :)

Un martisor pentru voi!
