This sadistic mofo has written the most complicated and obfuscated Greek I've ever seen. On top of that, he has this annoying tendency (some of the time) to replace ( Read more... )

Have not been on lj for quite some time. I hope all of you are happy ( Read more... )

So I'm 21 today, which means absolutely nothing in Athens. Still, I'm going out tonight with a girl from NY and one from Serbia, though only nominally ( Read more... )

So this morning I went to the street market on Dexameni and bought many super delicious fresh fruits and vegetables for obscenely cheap. For example, I got a kilo of potatoes for 0,40 euros! All super tasty ( Read more... )
