One week in Oradea, Romania


Hello Hong Kong!! I've arrived in Oradea for a week already. Everything here is so European. They have lots of, lots of church. Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish Church, you name it. The church here is beautiful, especially Catholic and Orthodox. They have a huge Catholic church here and it is the biggest Catholic church around these region. So one of the most common thing here is religion. Everyone has their own religion here, even another intern Galvin from Singapore is a Protestant, so I am kind of the only "no religion" person in the town. By the way, the buildings around here are very European and there are lots of them.

The LC reception here is good. We have an AIESEC member called Ady who accompanies us a lot. Since not everyone here knows English here, it is hard to get around without knowing the route beforehand. Ady is actually not a Romanian, but Hungarian. He is really really nice. He even accompanied us to the dinner without having food for himself. Also there are other AIESEC members who are really cool. I can introduce them later.

We had a busy schedule here. We delivered training session for the NGO conference and we went to high school to present our country and AIESEC exchange. Also we walked a lot and I do mean A LOT. The transportation here is complicated, with no english, so walking is the most easiest way for foreigner to get around. Anyway we got a tight schedule nearly everyday (and kind of random), so many things happened in this week.

So far I like this place, I think I will have a hard time when I go back to HK.

You can checkout the photo in my facebook. I still got lots of photo and video to upload. :P
