Today, March 17 2011, as I stepped in the Athens bus B5 (Larissa Station - Agia Paraskevi) at the
Ampleokipoi Station bus stop, I did not notice a man who was late to exit the bus and after he pushed me,
I pushed him back and used my leg to push him out of the bus, after which he did a hand gesture and I shouted at him. As a Greek citizent, I want to apologise for my dispeakable behaviour. I had not realised that he was
a visiting tourist and showed none of the hospitality Greeks are known for. It is a hard time for us and
as there was a general strike, only buses were operating today. I know this cannot make up for my behaviour,
but I hope that this man will know that I am sorry for my behaviour and that if I were to ever meet him again
I would buy him a cup of Greek coffee and apologise again and again for my behaviour.
Sir, if you are reading this please know that deep down we are people of great hospitality. Don't let
the late mess that's hit our country fool you otherwise. I hope you will visit our country again and that you will never run into an idiot like me.
Cheers and have a great holiday in Greece,
fatih89.
