With her PhD in comparative history and lifelong relationship with Cluj, Lily is definitely the best unofficial tour guide I could have asked for. That's why she's the perfect person to explain a little about Romania's history on this episode, where we discuss the different regions of Romania, what the census tells us and doesn't tell us about the people who live here now, and how foreigners perceive Transylvania. Thank you so much to Lily for sharing your time and impressive knowledge with me.
