Interviewer: When you compare Polish and Greek
mentality, can you see any differences? Marlena: Openness, I think that on the first glance the Polish people aren't that open. Also, here there is this popular 'siga siga' mentality. In Poland, I have never experienced such a thing, that people work and live that slowly. But maybe it's a good thing because they may enjoy life more. Also, that everyone here is late (including me): in Poland it doesn't happen that often. Interviewer: What do you like about Greece and Kalamata the most? 24
