Old Singer Tables -> New CafeTables

I like the ambiance that these tables give the cafe. Usually, I think of Eastern Europe as "old country" with a long history and a lot of tradition. Although these tables are not all that old, it's nice to see them recycled in a stylish way, giving character to this cafe in Split.

I could not understand why there were so many people (of work age) outside at the cafes all day, and was told that it is for two reasons:
1) they are working (having long meetings outside the office, which is apparently very common)
2) they don't have jobs (unemployment among young people seems to be a big problem in Croatia - many older people complained to me about young people living off of their far from rich parents and being lazy)
