In general, the same old things, but we waste a lot of time with the following: transport (the bottlenecks are horrific, as well as the public transport), TV (after the years when we had had two hours per day during the final years of the Communist regime - and those programmes were nothing else but "Hail to our glorious leader!" - we still crave for television, which has turned into sheer crap), cooking & eating, drinking (beer in the middle class and crap/poison in the lower/gutter class). The intellectuals still read a lot or go to the theatre or to a good concert, while the lower middle class watches football matches or watches South-American "telenovelas" (soaps). On fine days, we go out for a barbecue and the rednecks leave tonnes of litter and listen to crap music as loud as possible, but we also have beautiful landscapes and many people are dedicated mountain climbers. We also love to party, to entertain guests, to go out on hot summer nights either for a walk in the park, or for a soda/beer at an open-air restaurant. Lately, we have begun to turn into couch-potatoes, as people prefer to watch sports on TV!
