I thought that maybe the Romanians pronounced the letter J similar to its original use in Latin; that consonant made when the letter i brushes up against another vowel, as in iudex, like an English Y. But no, I look it up and they pronounce it as [ʒ], almost like we do in English.
Therefore, I will make my corny joke: you don't want your software written in a place that sounds so similar to "kludge". :-)

Sadly, that term seems to have fallen out of use -- I have had to explain it to lots of young computer people in Cluj. :-)

If I had a choice personally, I'd go for Japan. For culture/food.
Isn't that too expensive? I have no first hand knowledge, just what I read sometimes about it
For example, Google: living costs london cluj
(I was outsourced to Cluj, Transylvania in Romania. I recommend it. 250 Euro/month for a nice, central 50 m2 apartment. People are nice, it is safe. Different. Beautiful women. Mountains, but no sea. University city. The food is very good, but could be more international -- a few sushi places and one(!) Indian. If you want more info, add a comment and your email in your profile.)
