Mediterranean Mentality

Quite a strange sight that I hadn’t seen in a while actually. Basically I’m driving to get some shopping done, and this guy on a motorcycle piece of shit is driving like a maniac behind me. I let him pass, only to see him stop maybe 10m in front of me, as far as I could tell to meet his girlfriend, which I’m guessing he was late. He said hello and she pecked him on the lips.

Meanwhile this little old lady was crossing the street. She started doing her cross (Greece is predominantly Greek Orthodox, and is known as being one of the most conservative countries in all of Europe), and then started giving them shit about the display of affection in plain daylight. ‘FOR SHAME’. I’d not seen that in such a while that I couldn’t help but smile and laugh to myself. Different country, different mentality, and I’d forgotten how it works over here, being away for nearly 1 year.

Mediterranean mentality, wonder if these ideas are strong in Spain and Italy, because it’s worse on the remaining parts of the basin…
