  • Athens

    I have been in Athens for two weeks now consulting on a Greek TV series.  It is very exciting to be in the birthplace of theater and very humbling to realize that whatever we do on stage had been done before by the Greeks.

    The Greek people are very warm and friendly.  They love to sit for hours in cafes and bars talking, arguing or just people watching.  The night life is great.  Dinner starts after 10pm and usually lasts for 3 hours.  Then it's onto the bars and night clubs.  My favorite is the rembetatiki which is like a blues club with heartbreaking Greek ballads.  When the mood strikes, people would start singing and dancing.  I think we should all do that more often.

    Ah, even though I live in Europe most of my life, I never got the chance to go there!
    Have a great time there!

    Wow. that sounds amazing. I would love to visit Athens once I'm done school, may it be for vacation or job. It sounds very exciting and lively. Can you post some pictures soon? I would love to see the scenery.

    Hows the consulting coming along? Hope that everything will go as planned. =)

    Oh, I envy you, Henry!  Besides wanting to visit the usual historic places, I've ALWAYS wanted to visit Santorini!

    I do believe that I must be part Greek because I love their dinner after 8pm ritual and dancing/music afterwards!  I think every day should end with a celebration just because we made it through that day!

    Enjoy your time!  Where's your next adventure destination? (er, I mean work destination?)
