Oradea, aka Nagyvar\u00e1d, aka Gro\u00dfwardein, aka Groisverdain; i.e. \u05d2\u05e8\u05d5\u05d9\u05e1\u05d5\u05d5\u05d0\u05e8\u05d3\u05d9\u05d9\u05df.
\nA small city of nearly 200.000 inhabitants, capital of Bihor county.
\nA place of history. Hungarian, over most past centuries; Romanian, since World War I left the Austro-Hungarian Empire in shambles.
\nA bilingual city with a bilingual population: Romanian and Hungarian. Not<\/em> Yiddish; the Jews were sent to Auschwitz in 1944. (Nevertheless, when I ask around in my Shul<\/em> back home in Vienna, I notice how many of my friends and acquaintances have roots in this town, or in other places in Bihor county, such as Szatm\u00e1r \/ Satu Mare.)<\/p>\n

A small river flows through the town. There are bicycle lanes along the river banks. Most houses I have seen north of the river are ancient one-storey buildings from before WWI, some rather derelict, some beautifully renovated. It is said, that the real-estate bubble, that shook countries such as Spain in the early 21st century, also had and has it’s grip on Romania<\/a>. Here and there, we found sights that reminded us of this fact.<\/p>\n
