The Romanization of Copenhagen

I couldn’t help to notice all the foreigners coming to Denmark … and especially Copenhagen, polish Bulgarian American Dutch … but especially romanians. Now, this might sound a bit strange as I am a romanian myself, and I know there is place for everyone and I am not giving anything out to nobody, but … it’s what they bring along that irritates me especially, and that being the behavior. Today I was in the bus and at some time a guy with a big bag and a jacket on his hand sat near me. He must have been around 40 … everything cool, until he starts to eat sunflower seeds… in a noisy extremely rude way. On the BUS!!! I could see from the very beginning he is not a dane … and I got the confirmation when his phone rang and he started speaking in romanian. Suddenly I could feel his smelly feet and clothes and I just had to stand up. Moving a bit to the rear of the bus towards the door (my station was near), I could see two genuine romanian gipsy women sitting on the floor … in the BUS !!! I think there were free seats left … but they just felt comfortable there in everybody’s way so.. what the heck. Jeez! I left the bus with a very sour taste in my mouth. Next, I go down to the metro in Norreport and I find this 35-38 year old woman talking very loud on her phone (in Romanian ofcourse). She was getting on the same metro with me. I tried to look at her face… and she looked like she had been drinking for the last 2 months, without stopping. At that point I felt more than embarrassed. A couple of weeks ago a gipsy woman tried to sell me a fake gold ring … a very old gipsy scam that was very popular in the 90′s in Romania. They are everywhere… begging for mercy, singing on the metro stations or on the crowded streets, in the supermarkets … and as I said before, I don’t mind at all as long as they behave civilized. But do they ? I think that perhaps 10% of those who come here actually want to take their life somewhere good, without behaving like “somebody” and using gestures saying .. “do you know who I am?? ” I don’t give a damn who you are, be a human being… and stop acting like you are making someone a favor when speaking to him/her.
I am irritated … I must admit, just had to get this off my mind.
Last night I went out with the guys at work … well we were at Lottes place actually, and a lot of drinking was involved … again. Uhhh .. gonna see what will happen tonight … perhaps only a quiet evening at home … or maybe not
