I would hate the idea that people thought I was cynical, but the idea that people pay €60 for one meal to support the hungry who could probably eat for a month for that money makes me want to puke.

Could not agree more.  The kind of people who pay that kind of money and wear designer frocks having had their hair done by an expensive hairdresser and nail extensions and so forth make me want to puke too.  Thinking they are helping the little people.  Let them eat cake.

And what is more . . . that building has the worst acoustics of any I have ever heard, it will be unbearable.
They should never play any type of music there. You won't believe how bad it is till you hear it.

[Janet]

We went there to hear ... um, can't remember now ... was supposed to be good, anyway, but the acoustics were fucking awful.

As you say ...

[El Profesor]

Yes, DON?T EVER GO TO THAT BUILDING TO LISTEN TO MUSIC.

You have been warned.

That was two Beethoven symphonies, when nobody knew whether there was an interval or not, or how long, so the conductor was waiting for ages until people drifted back from the bar.

Yes, crap acoustics.
