how to get 50% off lunch/dinner bill

A to himself: "Damn I am hungry, I should o to this restaurant - it looks good. And there I should get the best food of my life! For bargain!!!"
A gets in, sits and opens a menu. Prices are higher than he expected (as they told that in Ukraine only poor people live, so prices in restaurants should be extremely low).

A: "Waiter, I am ready to order"
B: "hello sir, please ..."
A: "I'll have a salad, greek one, and a mushroom soup with fua-gra and an argentinian steak, medium rare. With potatoes "po domasnjemu" (home styled potato). And a chocolate cake and a bottle of red wine, Georgian of course and a bottle of mineral watter Borjomi.

Some time had passed and A had eaten all, ordered an espresso and bill.
A gets the bill and calles his waiter and says:
A: "I am not satisfied with the service nor the food. I expected to be served by a model and all I got is his 45 years old professional waiter. I expected greek salad to be made out of some greek shit at least - why these tomatoes, cheese FETA and all - what's so Greek about it. And the soup was really bad - it should be served with a bit lower temperature. And the meat - middle rare means without blood!!! Cake had no mint leaves on the plate. Wine was to red. And how come you didn't tell me that you are so lousy at the beginning. I am willing to pay 25% of the price. Or I will go to the court of law!!!

This is a metaphore for advertising business. Thank God it's Friday!

Optimism

Optimism rules. So thinking how bad it is and how bad it is going to be - I like Ukraine and ukrainians. And all other people living in the country. They're cool. Of course there are idiots - but I remember them also from Slovenia. Mentality is different, but there is at least 2k km between us.
So I will remain optimistic about the future of Ukraine. It all moves towards better.

Nights to remember

How many times does one say to himself - "never again"? When I started to work and earn some money (as a student) I moved out of my parents. I moved into cellar. I had to work as shit to get money to find a normal apartment.
Same with holidays - I had fun as a student living in tents or under the sky or something.
And same with business trips - as a rookie I had fun regardless to where I was staying or how I was traveling. But with time responsibilities increased, load of work became huge.
And so I appeared in Simferopol, where client had set me into a students dormitory. I had a privileged room. During the night there was 16C and no warm water. This was too much for me, so I have moved to a hotel - a bit better :))
But can u imagine the students that have to live with that for the rest 20 years and 20 more to come?

Gimme a little bit of culture



Being stressed I need relaxations. And within the lack of time, it's hard to find time to calm down. But it happened a week ago, that with my wife we were invited to presentation of Korean culture in Kiev.
I was shocked. The hall was full so we were sitting on stairs. And we kpt sitting till the end. What we were looking were Korean dances and music. An hour of cultural massage.
I hope that many such events will happen soon and I will appear there.

I went cultural?!?!
