1st Day in Cluj

Arriving to the dormitory was something really easy, I planned to catch the bus but on my way to the bus station a Taxi came near me asking me where I was heading. I explain him and he told me that for 20 Lei he would take me there. I refuse and I keep walking, he came again and asked me if I was a student , I said yes and then he told me: "ok, 20 Lei for a student is very expensive, but if you want for 10 lei I can take you". I start thinking, 10 Lei is around 2€, and I don't have to walk from the bus to the dormitory, so I accepted the deal. At the end, the Taxi driver was very very nice, he even gave me a short guided tour trough the town :)

Reaching the dormitory was very easy because of the Taxi, but to get to my specific dormitory, well, the story is a "little" bit diferent because almost anyone could speak english and I had no idea that there was more than 20 only for the Babes-Bolyai University. So I was going from dormitory to dormitory with all my luggage because anyone could really understand what I wanted, they only understood the word "Erasmus" and keep sending me from person to person. While waiting, I found a romanian student that could speak english so he gave me a great help with the communication with the university staff and thanks to him, after almost 2 hours I finally reach the "my" dormitory and I don't even unpack my luggage, I went directly to bed to rest :) .

After spending almost the entire Friday sleeping (I wake up around 16h) I went to a restaurant near the dormitory to have lunch, after, when I returned to the dormitory I meet other students and we decide to go shopping. It was kind of funny, because at the end, we bought a lot of things, more than we could carry, so we decide to take the car of the shopping with us. The result was not that funny, because the police stop us when we were almost arriving and note our Id's, just in case we do something else.
