Am ajuns de vreo dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni \u00een Bucure\u015fti \u015fi, printre sarmale \u015fi \u015forici, am apucat s\u0103 m\u0103 uit un pic \u015fi prin ora\u015f. Acum, dac\u0103 mi-am dovedit patriotismul cu munca la DEX online, n-o s\u0103 se supere nimeni dac\u0103 o s\u0103-mi b\u0103l\u0103c\u0103resc ora\u015ful natal \u015fi locuitorii lui \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Lumea mi se pare mult mai cizelat\u0103, chiar \u015fi compar\u00e2nd cu anul trecut. Am fost trata\u0163i bine pe oriunde am fost. \u00cen taxiuri n-am mai auzit nici o manea \u015fi singurul taximetrist care a fumat cu mine \u00een ma\u015fin\u0103 mi-a cerut voie (\u015fi n-am avut inima s\u0103-l refuz). La restaurante \u015fi baruri am fost servi\u0163i foarte bine, iar to\u0163i cei cu care am fost au l\u0103sat bac\u015fi\u015f (probabil cele dou\u0103 se condi\u0163ioneaz\u0103 una pe alta). P\u00e2n\u0103 \u015fi la un notariat la \u00eent\u00e2mplare la care am fost a trebuit s\u0103 a\u015ftept\u0103m doar vreun sfert de or\u0103 \u015fi ne-au rezolvat problema foarte rapid.<\/p>\n

C\u00e2inii vagabonzi au disp\u0103rut din toate zonele pe unde am umblat eu, \u00een schimb, \u00een mod misterios, urmele lor continu\u0103 s\u0103 existe pe toate str\u0103zile \u015fi trotuarele. \u00cemi \u00eenchipui c\u0103 oamenii din cur\u0163i le dau drumul pe strad\u0103 s\u0103-\u015fi fac\u0103 nevoile, doar n-o s\u0103 le murd\u0103reasc\u0103 lor curtea. \u00cen aceea\u015fi categorie, a nesim\u0163irii omului, lumea fumeaz\u0103 \u0163igar\u0103 de la \u0163igar\u0103 \u00een toate locurile permise \u015fi nepermise (\u00een Chocolat<\/a>, prietenii patronului fumau de zor chiar \u00een zona de nefum\u0103tori, \u015fi osp\u0103tarii au refuzat s\u0103 fac\u0103 ceva). Aerisirea \u00een asemenea localuri este inexistent\u0103 sau nu o pornesc, iar despre localuri pentru nefum\u0103tori, ce s\u0103 mai vorbim. \u00cen\u0163eleg fumatul \u00een baruri, dar nu \u00een cafenele.<\/p>\n

Pre\u0163urile sunt \u00een continuare aberante la multe produse (convorbiri pe celular, electronice, haine, CD-uri, brazi de Cr\u0103ciun, ma\u015fini). E drept c\u0103 \u00een Rom\u00e2nia cump\u0103r\u0103turile pe internet sunt inexistente, ca \u015fi obiceiul de a c\u0103uta pe internet cele mai bune pre\u0163uri. Dar cred c\u0103 este \u015fi o urm\u0103 de \u00eeng\u00e2mfare (mai ales la celulare \u015fi haine de marc\u0103, pentru care bucure\u015fteanul ar pl\u0103ti oric\u00e2t).<\/p>\n

Timpul n-are valoare pentru majoritatea oamenilor. De exemplu, avem de pl\u0103tit lunar un impozit egal cu vreo $2, care \u00eens\u0103 nu poate fi pl\u0103tit \u00een avans pe un an-doi, nici nu poate fi pl\u0103tit pe internet. Cumva, birocra\u0163ia rom\u00e2n\u0103 nu vede o problem\u0103 \u00een a-mi cere mie s\u0103 bat Bucure\u015ftiul \u00een fiecare lun\u0103 ca s\u0103 pl\u0103tesc $2. Probabil ce o s\u0103 facem e s\u0103 ne ducem o dat\u0103 pe an s\u0103 pl\u0103tim cu major\u0103ri (care vor fi \u00eenc\u0103 $1, probabil).<\/p>\n

Traficul este tot infect, de\u015fi noul cod rutier (de fapt, aplicarea lui) \u00eencepe s\u0103-\u015fi arate roadele. Dar nimeni (absolut nimeni, din nici una din multele ma\u015fini \u015fi taxiuri cu care am mers) nu-\u015fi \u0163ine banda. Toat\u0103 lumea fr\u00e2neaz\u0103 mult prea brusc, taie fe\u0163e, blocheaz\u0103 intersec\u0163ii \u015fi mul\u0163i \u015foferi trec pe ro\u015fu sau pleac\u0103 de la stop \u00eenainte s\u0103 se fac\u0103 verde. \u015ei, ce m\u0103 enerveaz\u0103 cel mai tare, toat\u0103 lumea parcheaz\u0103 pe trotuar. Singura circumstan\u0163\u0103 atenuant\u0103 e c\u0103, \u00een toate cartierele, Ceau\u015fescu a prev\u0103zut mult prea pu\u0163ine locuri de parcare \u015fi lumea trebuie s\u0103 parcheze undeva. Dar \u00een centrul Capitalei, asta nu mai e o scuz\u0103: n-ai unde parca, nu vii cu ma\u015fina. E revolt\u0103tor c\u0103 \u00een centru s-au construit multe cl\u0103diri noi f\u0103r\u0103 parcare (de exemplu BRD-ul din Pia\u0163a Victoriei). N-ar fi bun\u0103 o lege ca oricine vrea s\u0103 construiasc\u0103 o cl\u0103dire s\u0103 fie obligat s\u0103 construiasc\u0103 locuri de parcare acoperitoare pentru afluen\u0163a normal\u0103 a cl\u0103dirii? De exemplu, un sediu de banc\u0103 s\u0103 aib\u0103 locuri de parcare pentru angaja\u0163i \u015fi pentru num\u0103rul mediu de clien\u0163i.<\/p>\n

Televiziunile sunt cople\u015fite de subcultur\u0103. Toat\u0103 lumea vrea s\u0103 fie manelist, fotomodel sau Gigi Becali, \u015fi asta e ce primesc de la televizor. \u00cen schimb, libr\u0103riile au o ofert\u0103 extraordinar de bogat\u0103 (de\u015fi cam scump\u0103). \u00cemi \u00eenchipui c\u0103 multe din ele merg \u00een profit \u015fi \u00eemi cre\u015fte inima c\u0103 avem a\u015fa un popor citit \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Taxiurile sunt de departe cel mai bun serviciu al ora\u015fului. Cu excep\u0163ia nop\u0163ii de Revelion, c\u00e2nd \u00eentr-un fel e de \u00een\u0163eles c\u0103 n-au mai f\u0103cut fa\u0163\u0103, taxiurile sunt peste tot, ajung repede de colo-colo \u015fi sunt relativ ieftine. E drept c\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 acum Bucure\u015ftiul a fost \u015fi \u00een vacan\u0163\u0103. De luni \u00eencepe serviciul \u015fi atunci probabil se vor schimba lucrurile, mai ales c\u0103 se aglomereaz\u0103 str\u0103zile.<\/p>\n

Una peste alta, Bucure\u015ftiul este \u00een fierbere, \u00een ton cu economia rom\u00e2neasc\u0103 care a crescut bubuitor \u00een 2006. Rele exist\u0103 \u015fi or s\u0103 existe \u00eentotdeauna, dar lucrurile \u00een general merg extrem de bine. M\u0103 enerveaz\u0103 \u00een continuare multe metehne ale concitadinilor \u015fi nep\u0103sarea fa\u0163\u0103 de cel de l\u00e2ng\u0103 ei. M\u0103 uime\u015fte prostia institu\u0163iilor care refuz\u0103 s\u0103-\u015fi rezolve problemele, chiar c\u00e2nd ar avea enorm de c\u00e2\u015ftigat. (De exemplu, Prim\u0103ria ar putea ridica toate h\u00e2rburile care ocup\u0103 locuri de parcare \u00een Bucure\u015fti ca s\u0103 le v\u00e2nd\u0103 la fier vechi, iar Poli\u0163ia ar putea face sute de mii de lei din simpla amendare a tuturor celor care trec pe ro\u015fu sau taie fe\u0163e). Dar comparativ cu anii trecu\u0163i, Bucure\u015ftiul este mult, mult mai normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
