I have a light little blog for you all. First, today I was walking home and there was a gentleman in front of me in a nice suit who seemed fairly well groomed. As we passed through a forested area he stopped at a shrub, picked off a twig and proceeded to use it as a tooth pick. Struck me as quite odd.
Next, I feel bad that I have yet to introduce you all to me favorite new snack: Gusto’s puffs and Coke Zero. Gusto’s puffs look and have the consistency of packing chips but have this insanely addictive taste…they are Cheetos 2.0. They may also come in handy if I try to get some wine back to the states in my luggage. Diet Coke, or as Europeans like to call it Coke Light is gross. I’m not sure if the taste is different or if it’s because nothing is ever refrigerated enough to actually be refreshingly cold. I’ve decided if you are going for a semi-warm cola, Coke Zero is king. The grand total for my snack is 3 lei, conversion $1. Treats back home are going to be a bummer.
Now onto some new Cluj discoveries for the week… We went to the botanical gardens on Sunday. It is only a few blocks from our dorms and is a very relaxing place for a walk. Wish I had one so close to my house in Coralville so I could destress on Thursday before tests. Below is a picture of one of my walking buddies in the park. Then we tried Demmer’s Tea House. The first time, I got Bio Lemon Vanilla Tea and since I’ve been back to get English Breakfast Tea with a dash of vanilla. I think I may become a regular.
Okay I can’t take this anymore. A couple has been having quite the make-out sesh at Starbucks for the last hour and a half while I watched “So You Think You Can Dance” (Go Melanie and Marko!) and wrote this blog. NOT OKAY. Please just go home.
Tomorrow I start my day bright and early at the pediatric emergency room and end it nice and late by catching the overnight train to Budapest. So I must be going. Check back on Monday to learn about Budapest and have a Happy 4th of July!
