Quote:Yes, it is always bad news about Greece, in the news!
The riots and burning of business's will not help anything at all, but make it worse
for everyone. :evil:
However, there are still many good things in Greece, and always will be!
I didn't know you were from Greece Jass!
Where abouts? I still have relatives there!
Actually I'm not originally from Greece, though I have family there and have spent most of my time there for the past several years. Athens, like everybody else lol. Girlfriend can claim to be slightly more metropolitsa (one side from Thessaloniki the other from Kriti and Mikrasia).
I agree with you, there is a lot of good there that people don't just see. I really worry, I'll always remember a few years back when the riots started over the boy being shot. Just waking up from a nap and finding half the city in chaos. And the news focused on it, and it was right to. I noticed, however, how it missed out all the people leaving their homes at night to try and contain the situation, protect the museums, make sure the people and stray animals etc weren't hurt.
I remember the feeling of terror on finding my essential mother in law trapped down town in a bank at another time during some riots too.
Ah Greece. We're a sick country but the cure is getting there, slowly but surely.
