2 weeks in athens

athens was a lot of fun and a lot of relative meetings and a lot of food and a lot of feta cheese. so it was great. the first week was kind of chilly so i couldnt go to the beach. the second week i got my period...lol..so i couldnt go to the beach. but i got to take pics of it and that is still fun.

my conclusion is that we work our entire life to make money and not work anymore and we end up not working when we can't really enjoy our money at our full potential a.k.a. when we are old. the most beautiful places in athens, like loutraki and barkiza, which are by the sea and have wonderful clear blue waters, are so expensive to live at that only old wealthy people can enjoy. all this gorgeous locations are inhabited by so many old people and no young ones that is kind of not fair i think. i think old people should let young people enjoy the beach damn'it.


also greeks have this huge thing about eastern women who they think go to greece just to steal greek men from their wives and take their money. there is always shows about this on tv and it is just so funny when you hear them argue this rediculous subject.


oh i also saw santiago calatrava's olympic stadium which is gorgeous but i could not get too close. i heard he got paid like 4 times the actual amount he should have because the greeks asked him at the last minute. he is the bomb though.

but biggest thing i have to talk about is the how much of a party people albanians are. my uncle who is almost 50 is the first one to get up and dance at a party (which i think would sound unheard of for an american), he also almost slapped his son for not dancing and he forced him to learn how to dance. all albanians just dance to the slightest hearing of a note and are suckers for partying big time. it's kind of kool that i am part of this nation. ahhaha.
