On your knees, ready...set...GO!

Another day on the street – on our knees with chalk in our hands. Route of today – from piaţa Universitati to piaţa Romana. We went on a street in the busy hours of afternoon and started with metro exit at Universitate. And situation again similar like yesterday – people look interested at us, but without any further interaction. But today a lot of people stopped and looked at our phrases, read them and you could see by their faces that they are thinking “what a hell does it mean?” Some people even read the phrases out loud thinking that it would help them to understand them betterJ There was a lady and a guy in two different places who actually took a picture of us in action. We tried to start to talk with the guy, but he was too shy to reply. The funniest reaction we received from a drunken man, who corrected our spelling mistakes. He was very enthusiastic explaining what we wrote wrong. And in general the view from a side look something like this – Judith writing on the pavement, few people coming, stopping around her and wondering what is going on, reading the text and then like after a command all together they went away. And like this several times. At our last message “How cool are your grandparents?” we left one guy standing next to the writing and looking at it. It look like that he would guard this phrase. But the longest conversation we had with a German guy. Unfortunately he didn’t understand the meaning of the text, but he was very interested in what we were doing and said that it is nice idea. And we think the same.

But lesson learned from today – get more messages to share with people, because after 3 days using the same lines over and over again it becomes boring to us. So, tomorrow with new strength, new messages and new stencil, because old one is broken – we will be on the street again!
