I had the exact same experience coming to London from Athens. I was in absolute shock that cars were stopping for me to pass when I was at a pedestrian crossing. You can't even stand near a crossing without having cars stop, just in case. Of course this only makes it worse when I go back home, and get more and more irritated at the apparent invisibility of pedestrians..
Come to think of it, I didn't think there was another Greek HNer in London, this is definitely worth a beer. Drop me an e-mail, or come to the next HN meetup this Thursday.
- StavrosK 16y agoAh, unfortunately I'm leaving this week :/ I'm going back home to be disappointed at our road manners :P I've been here a year, that's unfortunate... Thanks for the offer, though!
- alexandros 16y agoUnfortunate indeed. Have a good time at home, and don't forget to look both ways while crossing the street! :)
- StavrosK 16y agoAh, don't worry about that, it's Greece, nobody goes on foot :P I'll send you some sun!
