| Cultural Insight |
| Michael: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Larisa: Usually, in Romania, when you arrive at a restaurant, you will first order what you want to drink. In the meantime, you can check the restaurant menu and then order what you want to eat. Romanian people use very often, when referring to food, the phrase o porție de. For example: o porție de cartofi prăjiți. |
