To get there we travelled by train
Here is a picture of some of the staff who did such a good job planning and preparing the training for us! Training and lodging were all at this really nice hotel. Quite posh for the Peace Corps...
Since training was so close to Halloween, one of the volunteers, Richard, who lives in M. Ciuc arranged a Halloween party for our group at a local restaurant. Nils and I couldn't help it... we just had to dress up as Sarah Palin and Joe Six-pack. Little did we know that the other couple in our group were also planning to dress up as Sarah Palin and "Joe the Plumber" (his name is actually Joe too!). Lots of fun! (For those of you who may have forgotten who these people are... Sarah Palin ran with John McCain as his Vice Presidential candidate. During the Vice Presidential and Presidential debates, Sarah Palin referred to "Joe Six-Pack" and John McCain referred to "Joe the Plumber" as ordinary "guys" the common people could relate to. )
My counterpart Dragoş joined us on the last night for a hockey game and genuine Hungarian/Romanian cuisine. Yum!
