6.Homework 27
- In the place where you live, are there some typical services? Would you tell us about them? I think we run out of typical a long time ago! I am sorry that the director of this video about Figueira da Foz put a bullfight scene in it and forgot about surf. I don't like bullfighting. That's typical and sad. This city has a bullfight arena.
I just don't like promotional videos. I have a preference for more personnal ones. But this one serves the purpose because this is a city that waits for tourists to come to life. In the summer - July/August - we have a city, in winter we live in another city. Figueira da Foz is a seaside city and back in the 50's it was one of the most famous beaches of Portugal before Algarve's discover by nationals and foreigners.
We have some typical activities - sea salt extraction from ponds and arte xávega, a special kind of fishing that uses a small typical rowing boat. The nets are cast out into the sea and later they are hauled in. The fish are then sold on the beach. Animals used to pull the boats, not anymore, of course. But I'm not aware of any particular typical services.
- What kind of service could you imagine in order to improve the life of the people around you? Well, I sold my car a few years ago. Even if the city is small and there are plenty of taxis, I think that this city could use an alternative for bus transportation. They do not cover our needs. There are few circulating. I think that a system of small ecological community vehicles would be a great idea. Or small cars using alternative power - like old cooking oil from a lot of the restaurants we have - that we could pick up on a park and leave on a destination like we do with rental cars...
Think about what you did during our Kitchen Stories’ week. What’s your specialty? I am not into cooking. But some years ago I enjoyed cake decoration. It was nice to set the table for my friends also.
If you were to set up your own service company (related to food), What could it possibly be? Maybe be decorated cakes company? Sometimes I stumble upon fantastic cake photos for special occasions.They do not look edible, they are just too pretty to be eaten! I would not mind to learn more about it!

5. INSPIRATION
Dabbawala = Build your organisation around people. Stay true to your core purpose.Encourage self-discipline. Create a sense of ownership...More tips!
This is contemporary service design at its best! 100% Made in India. In the Indian culture, people like “dabbawalas” are considered as “annadattas” (the person who provides food). Upon tradition, they are very well respected and known as very trustworthy citizens.
The Lunch Box movie. One of Mumbai's miracles is the lunchbox delivery phenomenon. Mumbai's Dabbawallahs are a community of 5000 dabba (lunchbox) deliverymen. It is a hereditary profession. Every morning the Dabbawallahs deliver hot meals from the kitchens of housewives to the offices of their husbands, and then return the empty lunchboxes back to the homes in the afternoon.
An article Stefano wrote with his friend Vinay Venkatraman on dabawalas.
