Digital thoughts

One quick trip and you can't help but notice the differences...

German railroads: you go across the country, switching three trains in the process, and you don't even speak the language; everything goes whitout a hitch.
Romanian railroads: the actual train number doesn't match what's on the ticket. You end up running back and forth between the information desk and the platform. Luckily, your train is late.

A German's idea of a low-end train: no electrical outlets in the cars.
A Romanian's idea of a decent train: the onboard toilets actually work.

A German's idea of clean streets: "What is this 'dust' you speak of?"
A Romanian's idea of clean streets: we don't have any idea. Really.

Germans do everything by the book, no matter how unimportant it may seem.
Romanians do nothing by the book, not even the most important stuff.

Q: How do you recognize a Romanian in a German train station?
A: It's the guy with too many bags who doesn't look where he's going.

Have you laughed? Good. Laughing is good. But remember, it's all true.
