Everyone asks me "What about the Greek people"

Well,
from seven days here, I dont have anything to complain !
At my work they had been very helpfull, kind, giving me always the needed attention. And trying to make me feel confortable!
Sometimes they speak very loud and grim to each other - I dont know if they are fighting or that's just the greek way to argue. whehehe doesnt matter, for me everyone is kind. I feel a bit like the "maskate" (Again).

I know that's not so hard to make friends as it was in Finland, they are more socialy open, but I still didnt any exterior friend, from this flat-mate-work circle.

Once I went to a "peripero", the small greek kioski !
I went to buy bus tickets, and I just asked for that. The guy said in a dry way that he hadn't, and I asked "Where?" and he said he didnt know. Come on! There was another peripero just on the next street ! BLeh
That was harsh! But well done, since he will loose my money (it could be 30 euros per month).

My boss told me that the greek peple is bad in communicating on a polite-way. You normally don't hear a "thank you". But I hear Kalimera (Good morning) everyday! He says they are a bit rude, but very helpull although. It means you don't hear polite words, but if you fall on the ground they stand you up :P


I was not expecting that everyone would speak english.
Yes they do, and I heard that they have good official statistics about that.
It can me a bad english, but bad english is better for me that good greek :P


Well, next time I will post pictures!
