My trip to Greece

Overall, Greece was really nice. The first day we got there, we put our bags down at the hotel and went sightseeing. We went to Syntagma Square which is just in front of the Parliament building. Its like a 34th Street with no cars. It was full of shoe and clothing stores aligned on each side of a long narrow street. We saw like 4 Zara's along the street, Bath and Body Works, a McDonalds, and mad stores. I felt like a fat kid in a candy store. So many clothes and tight sexy dresses to buy. But since I was with other people, I took notes of where the place was and kept it moving.

Next was the Acropolis. Tht was really nice. There were mad people there from everywhere, Japan, other parts of Europe, Americans. They were all takin pics. I was excited to see the ruins and take pics. We ate lunch at this cute place and then split up. The boys walked around and Em and I walked where the market was. Africans selling fake Louis and Gucci bags, people selling old stuff along the street, sneaker stores, clothing stores, and gift shops. It was like China town shrunk to fit this paticular area just around the Acropolis.

Oh, I went to buy some gloves. So one dude sellinthe gloves asked where I was from. I said NY and proceeded to pay for the gloves. So then he says, no really where you from, are you Senegalese. Again, I say no, I from NY. So obviously this was not the correct answer, cuz homeboy started to ask again. No, but where are you from, your African right or from the Carribbean? Listen bitch, I don told yo ass I from NY and thats that. I was born there, have always lived there and thats it. Then he asked where my parents were from. At this point Im gettin annoyed. I say AGAIN, they are ALSO from NEW YORK just LIKE ME. WE ARE ALL FROM NY. Not Senegal, no where in Africa, and damn sure not from the Carribbean. Please stop asking me the same question, cuz I dont want to repeat myself further. I walked away and heard him say to another guy standing there "she cant be from AMERICA!" And I mean he really was confused as to why I kept saying that. Boy was I fuckin annoyed..........

The rest of my time in Greece was spent shopping, and sighseeing. There were some churches there, and some other small spots that we hit up. The food was much like the food here in Bulgaria. Gyros were everywhere, there were meatballs, spaghetti and various salads. I was hoping to eat some traditional Greek food. I did have pastichio (I think thats spelled wrong), and tsatziki, but everything else was either like Bulgarian food, or like food I could get in the states. I was quite disappointed.

The shopping was excellent. Athens is the capital of Greece, so of course it was totally developed there. There were a whole bunch of Africans and other people from different cultures walking around which made me excited. Athens is so much more cosmopolitan that Sofia even (where I have seen like 3 black people as opposed to like 100 per day in Athens). And the people were quite fashionable. Knee high boots, Louis bags (real and fake) nice coats, cute hair styles, cute accessories, and banging shoes.

And thats pretty much it. I wont bore you with any personal stories cuz its too much to write. But the people I went with did piss me off several times. We had problems with tipping CORRECTLY, people being downright cheap as hell with everything (even with table bread), annoying the shit out of me, and talking to fill the silence. No one wanted to go to any bars or clubs and for new years we managed to go to one bar for like a half hour. There was a fire works show, but someone ordered fucking french fries and delayed of from seeing it. We just walked back to the hotel and that was my new years. Well anyway, WILL however leave you with some inspiring quotes/saying:

"Crotch Cookie" (you figure that one out yourself)
"I aint gettin up for no damn egg"

oh, and we actually saw hookers!
