… aruncată de Bucharestian – cineva care vede lucrurile bine – şi le scrie bine:
Romanians take lunch or dinner for more than just eating. Lunch can often take over one hour, while dinner can last for two hours or more. People chat between courses and especially during dessert and afterwards, while having (more) wine, coffee or snacks to go with beer. Even having a cup of coffee out often takes between half an hour and one hour and is most likely joined by half a pack of cigarettes. Disregarding of whether you go for some snacks, coffee, lunch or dinner, if invited by locals, it is advisable to allow more time than you would at home. Say, twice the time. But then, despite the way it looks at the first glance, Bucharest is not the place where things are prompt or rush has any sense.
Felicitari pentru Bucharestian. Un ghid foarte bun pentru straini si nu numai!
Eu incerc ma feresc de chelnerii agresivi si sunt fascinat de ”regulile si procedurile” nescrise din restaurantele de pe la noi. Kafka ar fi fascinat daca ar fi printre noi
ce să mai spui de setul de reguli aplicabile relaţiilor cu taximetriştii, cu maiştrii, cu mecanicii?
Traim intr-o tara unde regulile individului (fie ele scrise, nescrise, inchipuite) primeaza aproape mereu in fata regulilor sociale (de unde si esecul romanesc omniprezent). Aceste reguli au devenit parte din cotidian, depasind, zic eu, constructiile lui Kafka. Avand in vedere de unde pornesc majoritatea problemelor romanesti, Freud ar avea destule de cercetat pe aici…
Neeah. Freud ar fi invitat permanent, seara, la Capatos sau la OTV.
