Second day of action

After two rainy days, which didn’t allow us to go on the street, finally today weather became good again and we could go chalking. Area of action – piaţa Unirii. A lot of people where passing by, a lot of people paid attention to our actions, but surprisingly few of them actually asked what we are doing. It is interesting – in our neighbourhood almost every second person stopped and wanted to talk to us, but in the centre only few. Probably people are just too busy with their own thoughts running from home to work, from work to shop, from shop to home. But anyway – there were people watching, reading and actually trying to speak with us. And the most popular question was: ”What does it mean? What you want to say with this?” When we said to people that they should have their own interpretation and understanding of the messages, they just shake their heads and went away. But we managed to have longer conversation with a guy, who had nice interpretation of message “Bucharest is safe enough to get lost in!” He said, that for him it means that getting lost in Bucharest is nice.

Today we also got our first negative reaction. A lady in Unirii park was very anxious about us. I don’t know if she didn’t like the fact that we are writing or the message itself (Bucharest is city of speed. Green spaces are destroyed fast.) Lady tried to convince security guy from the park that he should send us away and clean the pavement. But when the guy tried to clean the message, expression on his face said, that only thing he wants to disappear is crazy lady. And after she went away, man said that we are doing nothing wrong. Ha, nice! But in general security guys are funny, because when they look at us you can see that he has an inner fight with himself, they don’t understand if they should come and send us away, or actually it is OK what we are doing. So far, so good!

So, result of today – a lot of indirect reactions and few nice and emotional ones! Tomorrow more. See you on the street!
