What I think about Greece??
Its' great because... everything is pretty slow paced. We sat around at restaurants for 2 hrs and just chilled. The food is cheaper here. Met lots of people. The Greek people are soo nice. They come out of their shops to help you with directions when you look distressed. The scneary is beautiful and kind of weird. There's these beautiful backdrops of history against the hustle and bustle of trains and cars. Buses run by cables it looks like. But who am I kidding? I'm waiting for the islands.
Not so great because : the shower is the kind you have to hold up yourself? You know what I mean? It's "hella" hot. Hellas= Greece. There's soo much walking. The pavements suck and it's kind of hilly like San Francisco. The clubs are kind of far away and the cabs to take you there cost a lot more at night. The clothing stores are all high class or yucky.
Greece log: (probably boring but hey its my memories.
