eMAG face si fapte bune
Sunt si niste mici observatii: produsele pot fi trimise inapoi doar printr-o singura firma de curierat si anume Fan Curier. Asta pe langa traditionala returnare personala la sediul firmei.
O alta nedumerire ar fi exceptia de la aceasta promotie a consumabilelor desigilate. Sa luam problema imprimantelor. S-a terminat cartusul si ai nevoie de altul. Din varii motive (nestiinta, neatentie, etc), comanzi ceva asemanator cu cel ce ar trebui folosit si constati asta abia cand doresti sa-l incerci. Dar pentru a-l incerca trebuie sa-l desigilezi ca doar nu-l probezi sigiat. Si astfel pierzi dreptul de a iti recapata banii prin aceasta promotie. Aici mai exista doar Ordonanta nr.130/2000 ce prevede un termen legal de 10 zile in care cumparatorul poate returna orice produs, fara penalitati si fara invocarea vreunui motiv.
Experientele mele cu eMAG sunt nenumarate. Si multe dintre ele chiar crunte. Dar neprofesionalismul si oferta limitata a concurentei m-au adus tot la eMAG. Povestile despre service-ul eMAG sunt si ele sf. Care mai de care mai inspaimantatoare. Si la un moment dat am ajuns si eu in momentul in care eram la mana lor. Ma gandeam deja la nenumaratele telefoane ce le voi da si la lunile in care voi fi amanat si plimbat cu vorba. Dar, spre norocul meu, se mutasera la noul sediu din Crangasi. Si se pare ca schimbasera cate ceva si din mersul lucrurilor din companie. Astfel ca treaba a decurs surprinzator de bine. Chiar am fost sunat de catre cei de la service pentru a ma tine la curent cu starea produsului. Si intr-o saptamana aveam deja rezolvarea: banii inapoi pentru ca nu au avut un produs similar pentru a-mi fi inlocuit cel stricat.
Ma bucur ca cei de la eMAG fac din ce in ce mai multi pasi catre a deveni un magazin de nivel european. Astfel de promotii ar trebui repetate si urmate de catre niste astfel de servicii permanente.
Cu acest articol particip la concursul Un Sony Vaio pentru cel ce duce vestea buna! Numarul meu norocos este 371132.

Pericole pietonale

Locatia este vizavi de ambasa Greciei. Casa cu pricina este de patrimoniu si acolo isi are sediul si un mediator. Care nu se deranjeaza niciodata sa isi curete turturii sau sa ia niste masuri pentru ca acestia sa nu se mai formeze.
Cand e vreme de turturi, cu siguranta ca acolo veti gasi unii dolofani. Si ar pica fix pe mijlocul trotuarului. Singurul mod de a-i evita e pe carosabil.
De maine vremea se incalzeste si avem cod galben pentru ploi si ninsori. Deci o sa avem si niste adevarate stalactite.
Niste amenzi, cineva, pentru asemenea mostre de nepasare civica?
P.S. Trotuarele sunt inca in nameti. Nu s-a miscat nimic in aceasta privinta. Domnu' primar nu merge pe jos. El are masina.
Manifestari culturale in spatii neconventionale
Protagonistii din imaginile de mai sus sunt membri ai operei Palau de les Arts din Valencia. O prestatie exceptionala intr-un mediu inedit si neconventional.
De ce nu se poate asa ceva si la noi? De ce nu vedem prestatii tip flash mob intr-un loc neconventional al unei institutii de cultura? Locuri si oportunitati ar fi atatea. De exemplu Piata Universitatii sau Piata Unirii sau orice alt loc plin de oameni la ore de varf. De ce nu, chiar un mall. Desi aici ar merge mai bine un concert spontan de manele. Singurii care au iesit din carapacea salii de teatru intr-un mediu atipic sunt cei de la Masca. Ii puteti vedea in statia de metrou Unirii I. Tot respectul domnului Malaimare pentru aceasta initiativa si pentru aducerea unei manifestari culturale in mijlocul oamenilor.
Eu sunt un iubitor de teatru. Nu sunt un fan al operei. Nu ma vedeam rezistand la un spectacol intreg. Dar acest clip m-a facut sa mai ma gandesc. Si daca as vedea ceva asemanator si in Bucuresti, chiar as incerca si un spectacol de opera.
Poate acest clip va ajunge si la cei in masura de a incerca asa ceva si la noi. Asta ar fi o promovare cu adevarat eficienta pentru apropierea lumii de cultura.

Trofee de iarna

Sub el e doar portbagajul unui Hyundai Sonata. Si un astfel de trofeu nu se gaseste numai pe stradutele secundare. Si pe Ferdinand sunt de toata frumusetea. Maine vin cu niste updates din zona.

In plus, ca sa fie topita de-a binelea don'soara ar fi bine sa invatati niste cuvinte siropoase si in alte limbi de circulatie internationala. Cum ar fi persana. Sau urdu. Sau poate zazi.
Si acum ca don'soara a sarbatorit intr-un loc romantic si a fost dezmierdata in limbi care mai de care, pasul urmator ar fi un inel de logodna. Iata si modelele ideale, in ton cu restul surprizelor.
Americanii sunt niste mari inventatori. Si foarte practici pe deasupra. Fac ei cum fac si vin cu niste solutii salvatoare pentru probleme stringente. Sa luam problema suprapopularii cimintirelor. Iata si solutia propusa de un american ingenios. Sper sa fie si primul care o testeaza (via)
Intr-o calatorie reusita in afara tarii, una din atractiile principale e reprezentata de servirea mancarii traditionale a locului respectiv. Am gasit si o lista cu majoritatea "brandurilor de tara" cand vine vorba de mancare. Sper ca sunt si corecte. La Romania avem mai multe: mamaliga, mititei, cozonac, fasole cu carnati. Pacat ca lipsesc sarmalele.

Get Out
Un scurt-metraj francez extrem de dragut si amuzant. Personajul central e Gary. Lui ii este frica de iesiri. Priviti si veti intelege.
Umor de razboi
- Un rus inseamna un suflet; doi rusi inseamna o betie; trei rusi inseamna haos. Un german inseamna un savant; doi germani, un concert de muzica de camera; trei germani, razboi
- Dar francezii?
- Un francez inseamna un interlocutor placut; doi francezi, un partid politic; trei francezi, greva generala.
