    No. My criteria is the price. When it comes to fresh fruits or vegetables I used to prefer national products cos they had taste. But our peasants use now the same types of seeds like in the west and our products are bigger and get ripen sooner but unfortunately lost taste.

    Have you ever worked in a farm?

    I have not actually worked for a farm, but have worked on a farm. A business I used to work for was based on a farm.

    I could never believe the hustle and bustle.

    Do you believe that countries should provide as much food as possible for themselves or is it OK for countries to buy from others?

    In our particular case it's a shame that a country that can feed 1/4 of Europe and had a tradition in agriculture is now importing a lot of garbage from abroad. It's ok to buy what we can`t produce - like exotic fruits- but what`s the point to buy tomatoes or potatoes? The funny thing is that we export a lot of such products while we also buy from abroad. The real shame is that in our so called peasant-market they sell imported vegetables and fruits pretending they`re romanian. Then if you travel by car through our country you`ll see peasants on the road's side selling the products of their personal gardens. But thse days even such products are imported. It`s a real shame.....

    Do you eat fresh ( meaning not cooked ) vegetables?

    I don't often eat them. I like them in a bit of salad.

    Do you mean a day off holiday? On June 1st. It`s a religious holiday ( related to Easter`s date ) but I can`t translate what is all about.

    Do you think it`s OK to do whatever you want in your house/court or you take into account that a certain smell or making noise might bother the neighbours?

    bit of both. If you want your neighbours to respect your space, you need to do the same for them.

    Would you rather not have neighbours, i.e. live in the country away from them?

    I can't live isolated and even in our villages houses are too close and people more uneducated.
    Things would be ok on my street if some gipsy families haven't established here. Their number is increasing in geometric progression. So does their rudeness.

    Are you friends with your neighbours or just on greeting terms?

    We're all friendly, but not close. Though we all have keys to each other's houses in case of emergency.

    Do you know where your neighbors are from?

    Not these days. In the past all the neighbourhood was friendly but now a new "wave" has come. Most of them don't even say hello. There's a family in the next court who seems nice ( in fact she is, he generally turns his head when we meet ) but I don't even know their name, they never introduced themselves. Then this area is very central and ideal for offices and most of my neighbours sold the properties to companies so it's difficult to communicate with them.

    Do you have a swimming pool?
