@oana_toiu Feedback despre Ambasada Romaniei din Polonia.

[Jason - macro & investing @MacroJason]

I dropped by the Romanian and Hungarian embassies to get some stuff done whilst I was in Poland last year.

The two embassies are located next to each other. It doesn't take much effort to guess which belongs to Romania and which to Hungary.

Romania's GDP is 70% higher than Hungary's (by nature of being a bigger country). Romania also overtook Hungary in GDP per capita PPP in 2024.

But the country has a PR and image problem. This symbolizes it well. Orban also did a great job with polishing Hungary's image abroad - getting basic stuff like this right.

The inside of the Embassies also fully matched the outside. The Hungarian one was spacious - with booklets promoting tourism to Hungary, some materials on Hungarian history and billboards of the 'Hungary Helps' program. I was in and out in 15 minutes.

The Romanian one was a 10 SQM room overfilled with people. There was around 5 seats avaliable - 3 of which were placed in front of a (permanently blocked) toilet door. It took me over an hour to get what I needed done.

Some people speak perfect English. Others speak it their own way.
In Europe, that’s normal: diversity isn’t something to “fix”, it’s something to protect. Different cultures, one common project.
It can even happen at the highest level, in a major EU country — and for us, that’s perfectly fine. Accents are part of who we are.
That’s Made in Europe: quality, freedom, openness, innovation.
We’re so proud of it, we’re even putting it on a best-selling drink.
Fo shure. 🇪🇺

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿English to become the official European language🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. 

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English". 

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. 

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. 

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. 

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away. 

By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". 

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl. 

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. 

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
