OOC: This is just some research I'm doing for fun. What is a day for your average working man/woman in your country like?
IC:
Henry Rosenthal is about to begin a normal Friday in Buechoria. He wakes up in his modest apartment in downtown Ulm. As he wakes up, he turns on a nearby TV, tuning to the news in German. After learning about a few recent events, he get's dressed and walks downstairs. After saying hello to some of his neighbors and land lady, he walks outside. Traffic is not a problem, due to excellently organized roads. After strolling a few blocks,he reaches a quiet cafe and sits down to eat breakfast. Henry orders a danish and cup of coffee, and after eating them in haste, he runs to a nearby MS (Metro-Transit) bus stop and catches a bus to the metro station...
After waiting a few minutes, the red line train arrives and Henry walks aboard after purchasing a ticket. Sitting down, he is welcomed by a clean and comfortable interior. A friendly conductor comes by, and requests his ticket. Soon he arrives at his stop and disembarks from the train.
Henry walks inside the beautiful lobby of a Virka office building. Saying hello to the secretary, he signs in and takes the elevator to the 5th floor where he finds his small but at least private office (Cubicles are a rare sight in Buechoria, as companies have a deep respect for their workers, and want them to be comfortable as they work. "A happy worker is an efficient worker." is a common qote among CEO's.). Turning on a light, Henry sits down at his desk and begins work.
The workday is over, and Henry walks out of the office, but not before wishing a happy weekend to his boss. Many nearby restaurants have opened up in downtown Virka. Picking one, Henry walks inside and has a seat. A waiter comes by and asks him what beer he would like (As in Germany, beer is a popular drink. The art of brewing is practiced all over Buechoria). Recieving his beer he browses through the menu and selects a steak.
Henry is now very full and is up for something fun. A massive cinema attracts him, and he looks at the many movies playing. Selecting a mystery movie, he pays for a ticket and walks in. The floors and seats are clean, since all commercial (And residential, if it's an apartment) buildings are required to undergo inspection very few weeks and be cleaned at leats three times a week to keep a clean establishment. The movie excited Henry at several points, but it is unfortunately now over. Walking outside, he decides it's time to head home.
Heading on the same red line he took to get to work, Henry soon reaches his apartment. Uh oh! Henry forgot to pay his rent. No worries though, practically every worker in Buechoria makes at least 60,000 Becels a year. After paying, Henry walks up to his apartment and plays on his computer. He has no trouble connecting to the internet - Every apartment/commercial building in downtown area of Buechoria have a LAN system, and for apartments it costs next to nothing for the ability to use it.
Tired, Henry heads to bed, remembering tomorrow he's taking his gilfriend to the nearby park to stroll around, get a bite to eat, then watch the fireworks show scheduled at 18:00 o' clock sharp. It's been another day in the life of Henry Rosenthal.
