GMT: Greek Maybe Time

Whilst in the Greek Isles I experienced GMT no, not Greenwich Mean Time but the lax Greek mentality...Maybe the boat will arrive if the captain wants to work that day, or maybe the waiter will bring you your food when she is done with her cigarette, or maybe you will accomplish what you set out doing that day...

Frustrating my overbearing American expectations of instant gratification, it helped me realize that I maybe don't have to be anxious or impatient about everything? It became a running joke with my friend Chris, that when we experienced GMT we'd simply laugh and say “When in Greece…” to settle us down. I found a new appreciation for near perfect service I experience in America!
