call me canadian but there's one thing i really love
and that is drinking tap water so that is yet another reason yvonne and i are very glad to be
back in cluj and i say back in cluj because technically we were here once before yeah
for one day it was raining and so we kept on on our road trip we didn't see much so today will be
our first day exploring a city so historic it earned the nickname the heart of transylvania
wow so come with us for our adventure in cluj napoca i think it's time to go to the sky
and so it seems like this hill is right in the center of cluj because it feels like there's an
entire 360 degree walking path here which serves as a really nice viewpoint and i love the way
there's not many modern skyscrapers a city like this is so nice to view from above because all
of the orange roofs and all of the architecture and all of the crosses poking up as the highest
object in the skyline something about it just feels right compared to a modern skyline that's
just all sort of sky scrapers now we did notice the super massive football stadium that looks like
a million bucks by the river or maybe more like a hundred million bucks and we also noticed the main
cathedral or main church which looks amazing sort of the highest object in the city and i'm assuming
it's in the old town so i think next we'll go down to that main cathedral which should be a
part of the old town where the architecture and the feeling will be like a million bucks oh man
i'm glad to be back in romania these cities i mean this is the second largest city in romania
and it feels like small town that's true no skyscrapers no skyscrapers just old buildings
old historical buildings just right okay join us guys next stop the old town let's go
so cluj is actually a university city which is sort of interesting because it's also got
2 000 years of history so the city dates back two millennium and yet
it's full of students nowadays which provides a pretty unique energy because there's all
these young people around walking past historical sort of incredible buildings
and so we've come to the main cathedral here it's under construction now and if i remember correctly
last year when we were here it was also under construction so when they're done i'm sure it's
going to be a huge job they've completed but i tell you what it's all coming back to me
now we've got a lot of the buses around with the rabbit ears the electric buses we've got a lot of
electric scooters around that students are zipping around on we've got architecture everywhere and
it's just hitting me we are back in romania i love the energy of uh cluj the students with
the architecture just an incredible vibrant very vibrant very vibrant and if i remember correctly
you bought this shirt in bulgaria mucofina now it is just starting to rain a little bit maybe we'll
duck inside and grab some lunch yeah or a cold drink at the very least dude first impressions
of cluj it's good love it love it glad to be back glad to be back oh we can't go in this
time ivana it's just a construction over here so i stand corrected i think we can go in the
church let's check it out if i remember correctly last time everything was fully closed
maybe they've done the inside and it's just uh the front that is uh under construction
wow
wow just like that all of the noise of the city is gone
it's completely silent and it is absolutely incredible in here the high ceilings with all the
concrete work and the huge pillars all the pews row by row
really a sight to behold right in what appears to be the center of cluj wow
very nice very peaceful wow saint michael's cathedral which is seemingly right in the
center of cluj and it turns out when we were on the hill we were looking at the
back of it i think the front is just over there completed construction in the year 1487. wow so
it's nearly 550 years old which is something we just don't have in canada so it's always
mind-boggling to me to see a 500 year old cathedral which is right in
downtown the old town where there's restaurants and people all around especially students
all around from the universities and then right here you have a 550 nearly year-old
cathedral canada just doesn't have the 500 year old stuff so it's always uh amazing for me to see
wow so far so good in
cluj wow
check this out an absolutely lovely looking restaurant here
full of young people enjoying a beer and a meal so charming it's very charming in the
old town and it's right beside the house where the king was born the king from the year 1458 or so
which is probably why there's a statue of him outside the cathedral he might have been the
one to finish the cathedral now that i think about it matthias corvinus on the statue at
the church they were calling him matthias rex the romanian mattias corvinus is considered
the greatest of all hungarian kings due to his achievements during his reign 1458 to 1490 he
was born right here in this house that's so cool and it's right beside a pub lots of restaurants
that the history is incorporated right into the city yeah it's like impossible
to walk around the city without passing something historical walking open air museum here amazing
i love it it's got a good energy inclusion and you combine the fact that it's a university city
it's kind of young and artistic and historical i'm loving klush i'm so glad to be back in romania wow
what i love about romania well first of all on a patio of this quality in front of a building
of this history uh beer is two dollars that's nice but what i mean is um it feels like not a lot of
people know about romania yet true right right like in europe it's italy it's world famous in
asia is thailand or bali but i like going to a place that feels like it's under the radar
so when i tell someone i like traveling romania they say really and then it becomes
a nice conversation so i feel good about a place that's you know not so famous yet right right
right right it's very underrated i think so yeah a lot to offer in terms of tourism yeah i agree
right we've come to central park here which by the way is this seemingly infinitely long strip
with gigantic trees on both sides to the point that ivana is having allergies yeah in the fall
that's right i don't know why something's in the air hoping you're not hoping you're not allergic
to good times because i'm having good times here in romania now there's actually a pond over here
where you could rent a pink flamingo or some other type of paddle boat and cruise around did you know
my dad actually proposed to my mom on a white swan very similar to that oh very romantic wow
oh everyone's got that look in her eye and there's actually a casino up here that's no longer casino
it's like a historical building turned into an art gallery right beautiful really beautiful place
uh unfortunate for ivana's allergies because i was hoping we could find some fella selling some meats
right over here yeah some little snack street food yum yum yeah we're hoping cooch will have
a lot more street food steamed but so far nothing yet especially here there's people
all around and i'm sure at least 40 of these people want to eat meat right now
but anyway i'm hungry same right yeah getting hungry uh so let's uh start the
food hunt here in college you know what's nice about kalush whenever you're lost
because there's no high rises see the cross walk towards the cross that should be the cathedral
that should be the old town we could find some food over there that's true that's very convenient
yeah no need for google maps just look towards uh the high cross like like the north star in the sky
yo i forgot how fun it is to fly drones in romania let me tell you from the sky cluj is so beautiful
the architecture here oh my goodness it felt like every way i point the drone it just looks amazing
i absolutely love these kind of cities where all the buildings have these unique domes on top of
them all the roofs are the old clay tiles i love the architecture here in cluj honestly a modern
city with a big glass and steel monstrosity can be beautiful too but for me i really prefer a
place like this it's so groovy it's like this uh a modern city is beautiful in the same way a model
is beautiful right it's like emotionless like a model like admire me but a city like this is
beautiful like a groovy chick with a yellow shirt some dyed hair cool sunglasses hot from the window
to the door to the rooftop it's beautiful it's way more character yes in the beauty now we did
see from the sky there's another church and or cathedral down here uh maybe not as grand as st
michaels but i think it's worth checking out and i will say this my only bad review of clues so far
what we have not seen a luca i could really go for a haidu chesk right now my mouth is in hydrochest
any maybe it's mode in eucharist not sure yeah we're on high duces and meech lookout
first impressions of cluj uh is a good first impression we just saw a building
over there that looks like it was designed for maximum visual awesomeness the opera house
unfortunately closed for renovation same like say michael cassid cathedral yeah bit of a bummer
but let me tell you if you're a photographer which we are not let's be clear we are youtubers
don't need to flatter ourselves but if you have any interest in
capturing architecture cluj is the place to be everywhere you look we got fountains over here we
got cathedrals opera house you name it it's like jaw dropping and actually so beautiful even the
random buildings are beautiful absolutely even the buildings in between the landmarks are beautiful i
would say cluj is good for your posture because as you're walking down the street you're always
looking up here you know it's very good for your uh vertebrae up here always looking up you know
get yourself off the phone and get yourself onto the clues architecture very nice good yes
thank you oh my goodness no mitch but we got burgers still good
so good oh my gosh look at this french fries and the special burger with zucchini zucchini
zucchini baby oh gosh okay hit it baby hit it
oh good thing you're wearing a multicolored shirt because you're going to be wearing that burger
amazing amazing oh it's so good especially after a day of walking around the city
amazing boom going to park up the hill going to first over there
going to churches going to the main square so good no thanks for watching everybody
we'll see you in the next video hopefully we can find some meat and some hydro chest
we're going to talk anymore it's too good just moaning so good
