Cluj, hammocking like a boss
Many things you can read about Cluj Napoca. About how it is a multi cultural environment, about its hippie spirit, about how there is a place for any freaka or amputee soul in this city. True that. This is exactly how it is But there is more.
At some point a group of people decided that The Great Park or whatever is the translation for Parcul Mare, suffers from loneliness. So they called their friends and their friends friends and brought hammocks At that time it was strange in Romania to see people with hammocks in the park. But thanks to those kids and their free spirit, in Cluj Napoca 2016 the most natural thing in the work after a demanding office day is to go and relax in your hammock in the park. You will notbe alone.
Every Summer day douzens of people bring their coloured hammock in the park to hang out together, listen to music or to read. I remember one day a french tourist approached me to tell me he is impressed by the number of people gathered in the same place to spend some quality time together.
And after all, why not. The grass is green and it is there to be steped on with your bare foot. The sky is blue and free to be enjoyed. And all the good things that the system could not obtain ownership upon remain wild and free. So YES, If you visit ClujNapoca there is a Decathlon store who sells cheap hammocks. Just go, buy one and come to the park. You will love it.
