It took me a very long stay in Greece, to understand that it's all about who you know -- not what you know, or what rule you adhere to, or what you believe in, or....
When you need to solve or resolve, anything, you must first check if it can't be done through connections. Easily, friendly, efficiently and, often, justly. If this fails, -- ie. you have NO connections -- you turn to institutions. Which don't always credibly seem to have their official raison d'etre coincide with what they actually do
Justice, is not quite there to administer justice (but to divide the spoils)
Education should not be seen primarily as a means to educate (but rather, as employment for graduates in otherwise useless disciplines)
...etc.
Ad nauseam.
Please introduce me to someone -- no, THREE INFLUENTIAL people. When I settle in Greece for ever, I will include them in my immediate family.
These are,
An active politician
An active doctor
An active lawyer
