Memories

Because we are all foreigners we discovered this golden rules:

1. We never name the name of our country or explain characters. For example, Ioana remember her wet ceiling in her home town house. She says in her mind: Cluj home. For the audience Cluj means nothing, but will gain identity because of the memories around it and the information.
Another example is the bag:
Ioana says in her mind: bag pesants wear when they travel by train with chicken, cabbage and cheese.
For her this is enough. She would never say: Romanian Pesants travelling with the romanian rail and carying chicken that they sell in the market and they have to travel with them from the countrysyde, cabbage that they have from their gardens and cheese that they make in their personal house.

! We should not explain, but give genuine personal information, that then people create the spectrum with. We shall never even say Romania. People will get the idea of a foreign country and how the person personally perceives it.

2. Seying the shoes of the cleaner, reminded Robert of his mother's shoes when they were living in Zimbabwe

3. Lots of elemets of the site reminded Ioana of the Romanian hospitals (the floor, the cart that resembles to beds etc)
