The people are very nice and the food is devine! As about the cemetery, it's not that merry, so don't expect to see people laugh among the crosses, but the thing is you feel you've known for all your life the people burried there. It only takes a few well written words and a very inspired carving to make you feel that, as opposed to modern crosses or tomb stones. And if I may add, I recommend you to visit the Village Museum from Sighetu Marmatiei...it's wonderful! It's like a real medieval village and you feel lost in time...
