Crisis Prices
These two week-ends we are having an annual event called "Bucharest Days". It's supposed to be more important this year, because our town is celebrating 550 years since its name was first mentioned in an official document. The programme for the event is theoretically very rich, but the enthusiasm is not matching. Maybe it's the too often mentioned crisis that we are worried about, but there was almost no media coverage, and the general feeling was the one you can see on the organ grindler's face. It's so clear!
He's one of the many costumed characters meant to revive the "Little Paris" atmosphere. The parrots were supposed to pick a little piece of paper revealing your future, for a small fee. The text on his instrument is the real gem: "Love:5 lei, future: 5 lei, destiny: 5 lei". The crisis prices our life has.
