another church

Hasdeu is the biggest student campus in Cluj. It's supposed to have about 16 000 students living in it. One of the little pleasures of this place used to be a slope, actually it was a slope during winter and beach during the summer. A little nice place to relax between two exams. That nice place used to exist, because now there is a church being built there, on a declived piece of land. A few hundred meters away from this to be church there's another one just finished and down the next street another one that has been there for years, all orthodox. In Manastur, the largest neighborhood of Cluj, a huge church is being built, almost the size of a block of flats and it doesn't seem to get a roof soon, it's just getting bigger and bigger. On Calea Turzii, another huge church is being built for years now, seems like they're out of funds. This in a city where there is no lack of churches, there are a lot already. A joke says that when a guy finishes the theological seminar, if they can’t get a church to preach in they just build one. The sad part is that it seems to be true.
