not easy...

hi there,

Not easy to keep posting after I have to run up and down and manage some programs for others...

Well, I have been doing a lot of things, not only related to job after all! And job it is, since I spent more time there (minimum 11 hours a day) than at home. After having lunch with the natives from here and there I realized that Brazilians are not really strong in one area: wishing things to others, or at least my family!

In the morning they already start with bonjour!ok, no problem there because some brazilians really say that do each other, but as I remember most of them do say it. But Francophones do go a little bit more ahead saying "bonne journée), like have a nice day in the morning.
Then lunch time comes and with it something that I really didn't enjoy in Gödöllő and they kind of obligated foreigners to say: the famous "bon appetit"! and not only they have to answer thanks, the same for you too (merci, parreillement) but we have to say it for every 10 people who get into the room. It really slows down my eating (how boring I am).

After lunch is finished and dishes washed they wish each other "bon ap" but this time not the short for bon apetit, but the short for "bon apres-midi", meaning have a nice afternoon! and then again: merci, parreillement.

And by leaving the job, they say (not all of them) "bonne soirrée!, wishing a good night. Even to the bus driver, poor one, he arrives very thirsty at the end of the driving.
C'mon that is too much! Don't you think? I don't think Germans or Spanishes have this all the time. Or maybe I am just putting into practice what Swiss romande people say that French people do a lot: "raler", to complain a lot.

alors, c'est ça, bonne journée a tous!
