Been there, done that!

So, our little chalking expedition in Bucharest is over. At least for now. It was short but fun and exiting. So, what lessons have we learned? First of all – make sure you don’t make yourself bored with writing the same thing over and over again :) Second, things which seems that will not work in the beginning might work out just perfect. I guess people in Bucharest haven’t used to unusual experience on the street, for example, to see grown up people playing with a chalk in most busy area in the busiest hour of the day. And maybe that is the main reason why we got so nice responses and reactions. During few days we went on the street, we received a lot of surprised face expressions and a lot of smiles. Another observation we made is, that though people were interested in what we do and write, not everybody was brave or curious enough to stop and talk to us. Probably if we knew Romanian language better, we could be more provocative and approach people who were just looking at our messages.

But anyway, we understood that chalking is a good way to interact with people. Because, when you take a chalk and start writing on the ground, people look at you not very seriously and because of that are more open to communication and when you have caught their attention, you can transmit your message not only by written statement but also in a face-to-face discussion. So, chalking in Bucharest is not over yet. You never know when chalk attack will come again. But, be ready...
