annoyed. have to go to class.
also. this is kinda goofy. isnt it ironic that the greeks started the Olympic games, along with several other games in classical times because they thought sport was so important. but now, nobody in this country seems to work out. i love it. if someone is running down the street. they are def an american.
edit./ apologize for my outburst earlier. hectic life here. great night. sat in melissas bed until i couldnt feel my behind and planned out our excursions for the next few months. santorini this weekend, corfu next, possible somewhere the next weekend? Thessaloniki for a week with Arcadia, the rents and traveling with them. Paris first weekend in December!! jet/boatsetting!
more funny things: Greek McDonalds is probably the most hilarious thing. We have one about 200 ft from our apartment so its great for thursdays when we cant bare the idea of another turkey sang, or late nights when we are hungry for something other then yogurt.
A. Every time melissa and i go in there (often surprisingly) we make a SCENE.
B. Even though the names of the foods are in English (i.e. Mcnuggets, Big Mac) nobody who works there can understand us.
C. Melissa said "tessera me koka kola light" (number 4 with a diet coke) but the guy thought she ordered 4 diet cokes, apparently calling something but its number is not popular here.
D. They give you these hilarious mini-tridents (like the one Poseidon used!). we didnt know what they are for, but Maurice, our friend who works at MickyDs, told us they are for showing our french fries who is boss.
E. Although in the US we know it as FAST food..it takes longer in Greece to get your food then to have an intellectual debate on the meaning behind Plato's Third Man Argument. (I dont know what that is i just googled Plato but the point is, we make friends at Mcdonalds because it takes about 10 minutes to get your food)
E.a. Actually one time we tried to make conversation about the upcoming election, but they werent having any of it. Apparently they think we are Communists.
F. All workers at Mcdonalds wear these Mcdonald jeans. they are dark wash denim with the golden arches stitched into the back pockets. wtf. (we know this because in our ten minutes of waiting time we cant help but watch Maurice fill drinks and make coffees)
G. We love mcdonalds

i did not take this photo but it was there when i googled mcdonald jeans!
