Sports Day and Tiff Festival in Cluj

 

Hello Guys, this week was again an amazing week. On the weekend, I participated on a Sports Day in Arad, organized by our friends that are volunteers there. Well, it was not the biggest event, apart from all the volunteers there was only one boy there in the beginning and after some more. With this boy, I played football, all day long. It was so great playing football again after so long time. Me and the eleven year old boy became very good friends now after we played with 30 degrees and ate ice cream together on the sports field. I mean we couldn’t understand each other so well but my Romanian is not that bad anymore so we could have conversation on a low level.

After playing football, basketball, ping pong and boule a whole day long, we could sleep deeply and were ready for our next destination: Cluj. Or actually the small Hungarian village called Vlaha. Maybe you remember one of my first blogposts where I wrote about this nice couple where we stayed at in November. They invited us this time to their film festival. In Cluj there was the ”TIFF-Festival” for a whole week. Therefore there was one event located in the home of Ernö and  lldíko. We arrived already on Monday to help preparing the food for the big VIP party so we spend two hours of spending 20 kg of cutting meat in the night. The next day we continued with cutting vegetables and preparing other food. At noon people started to arrive for the VIP party. They came from Brazil, Germany, Russia and thousands of other countries. It was really interesting to meet all these people and talk to them. In the evening we helped selling the tickets (we sold more than 1000) and a new Romanian film was presented on a big screen.

It was an amazing event. The only negative aspect was, that we had to get up really early on Wednesday morning to get back to Baia Mare on time for our next event. Inga presented her plays with her children from the drama community project in the village Dumbravita. After that, I presented the paintings from my Art community project. Even though we had not a lot of sleep, it was a nice day and of course in general a great week!
