Romania or Hungary?

Well,  sometimes it's hard to know for sure.

When we moved to Arad we noticed that on this side of the country most of the city signs are in both Romanian and Hungarian.  At some time in the past this part of Romania belonged to Hungary and many of our YSA speak both languages.

 

Reconciliation Park 

This monument honors 13 Hungarian generals who were executed in 1849 during the Revolutionary War with Romania.  In 1919 it was taken away and wasn't returned until 85 years later.

 

The "Arch of Triumph" was raised in 2004 to honor the Romanian heroes of the Revoluntary War with Hungary.

 

Between the two monuments there are three flags - Romanian, Hungarian and the European Union.

 

 

But as far as I'm concerned this may be the best thing about living near Hungary,  Bread dough is wrapped around these wooden rollers and then cooked over charcoal while constantly rotating.  When they are removed from the fire, the kurtoskalacs is taken off the roller and a variety of toppings are available. Our favorite is cinnamon and sugar.  Add a cup of hot chocolate and there is nothing better!
