Ugly Side

In all fairness Greeks too have their ugly side. They love shouting at each other! Some press people had worried looks on their faces and were wondering if they should board a bus in the Olympic Village as the driver and the venue manager were having a verbal sparring session. Also they are much too laidback. I remember meeting a paid Olympic staff who was half an hour late for work and she assures me it was okay! Not to mention the Games Aquatics Centre, which was missing a roof due to a late construction schedule. And believe me they are not shy to tell you that this is what they are. Optimism is their identity.
