I met this field worker in Maramures/Romania. This region is known for traditional handcraft and hard working until old age. I was some kind of perplexed when I watched him passing. He wore a T-Shirt made by an Insurance company from Germany and it‘s print was like ‚150 years young‘. As I talked to him I found out that he didn‘t know about the meaning of his shirt. But to my mind it perfectly characterizes the type of people living in the Maramures.
