You scare me. :-)

I moved to Cluj (Transylvania) this spring.

I am thinking about looking for another job, but would like to stay here. I am scared that telecommuting will make me unhappy.

Good food, wonderful nature, good weather (ok, most anywhere has better weather than Scandinavia), nice people, a hot girlfriend, etc.

> You scare me. :-)

Relax, things are a lot better now (even for me, I'm on HN, ain't I? :)). What I'm talking about happened 10-15 years ago.

And congratulations for choosing Cluj. I'm usually trapped in Bucharest but I'm happy that tomorrow I'll go to Sibiu for a 4-day vacation. It's only a 2-h drive from Cluj I think, I highly recommend it for when you have time to discover the rest of the country :).

Thanks.

I've been to Sigishoara, which was really nice. I really look forward to seeing more.

The first week here, I had this conversation...

My work friends said: "That is worth checking out, there is a nice lake over there." I yawned and told them that I've seen lakes before, but "the mountains around the city looks really cool". They looked confused and said "Uh, do you mean the hills?"

But frankly, I'm not that curious about Bucharest. :-)

I do wish there were more gypsy music bands around Cluj.

It is a bit embarrassing to like "muzika popular", which seems to be the most uncool thing around? (-: Otoh, it might help make me popular with the girlfriend's 70 year old mother... :-)
