Tonight I went to a place called "Altes Europa". It was thank to a colleague of mine that I got to know this location. He loves it so much that he calls it "my second living room", but there is one thing about it, he meant, I had to keep in mind. According to him the food there is delicious, the atmosphere is great, prices are affordable but the waiters seem to be extremely rude. Well, he has forgotten to mention one thing: pretty cute paintings on the wall. Above the table we were sitting at, there was a funny monkey curiously watching colourful birds. Not a big surprise as I already know what an artistic city Berlin is. The table itself was old and trashy and it had a drawer. As we looked in we have found some stuff: a kid's drawing, some old theatre tickets and a note from someone saying that it was a "gift box" and that we could take something out of it if we leave something in return. We were not that keen on having old tickets but we have put there a cigarette and a hastily created fairytale about three kings who have fucked a frog. If you are bored, go there and check it out!
By the way, the waiters were really nice. Just an example: the only menu they have in this place is handwritten on a board at the entrance. Since I was too lazy to go there and read the whole stuff, I've just told the waiter about my likes and dislikes and sent her to study the menu. In a couple of minutes she came back and gave me a report. By gosh!!! Does the rule "people treat you the way you treat them" really work?
