I don’t know if rudeness and feeling entitled always go together, but sadly here, it turns out frequently originates from American tourists. You know Krisztina, she always pays attention to make sure we don’t block anyone’s views when we pick our spot to watch the processions. We were just trying to find a place to stand, a family in the front row told us to keep moving to somewhere else, saying “what are you thinking, we came two hours early to secure this spot!” I guess for them all this is just a spectacle. No doubt they were right, but conflict so often rises from what is right and just, even when you could easily make space for others. As it happened two days later a Spanish family with three children, baby carriage, a grandma sitting on a small stool, pointed us to a little space behind them allowing us to stand there.
