Kitoj gatvės pusėj buvo aludė. Galerija buvo ne centre, aludė vietinių. Pensininkai, nuvargę vyrai po darbo. Žiūri žinias, tada kažkokį serialą. Viskas jiems atrodo įdomu. Ir vaifajaus turbūt čia nėra.- There was a pub across the street. The gallery was not in the center, a local pub. Pensioners, tired men after work. They watch the news, then some series. Everything seems interesting to them. And there's probably no Wi-Fi here.
