Just saying

Okay guys. I have to say it. I really don’t know why everybody is always picking on the greeks.
They may have invented the labyrinth and “chaos” may be a greek word but the Italians have found great interpretations for both of these things! If you don’t believe me, catch a train to Rome airport and fly to Athens airport! (In case you can find your checkin desk, which is hidden behind a huge pillar, leaving no space for a queue so that you might very well end up with the folks of the neighbouring checkin, going to Singhapur😉
“Greek time” turns out to be quite similar to “Italian time”.
And the greek driving? Obliging and orderly by sri lankan standards! Also by these standards, Greeks are masters in selfreflection, blessed with a great sense of self-efficacy.
I have been expressing my amazement about the seemingly omnipresent ability and willingness of the greek people to communicate in english before and I have to do so once more. It might come in  direct consequence of the characteristic the greek people pride themselves maybe the most with: their hospitality. I also find that effortless, heartfelt kindness towards strangers unmatched and I hope they can carry it through all the floods of tourists, currents of hate-propaganda and waves of austerity!

Obviously this paragraph is full of stereotypes and generalisations and it is probably mainly to say that I miss my greek folks without saying at all that I don’t like the italian guys around me. On the contrary: I would advise every girl looking for a boyfriend to come to the Lampedusa sea turtle group. I have rarely met so many sweet and funny boys in one spot. And they all can cook superwell! On the other hand, it’s obvious, isn’t it? They are turtle people, how can they not be cool?!?! 😉
