Beware of tequila drinking Greeks

Not too much excitement... have been spending vast amounts of time at internet cafes, applying for jobs, looking for a home, etc. I got a mobile phone yesterday... anyone with texting (or even old fashioned talking) abilities I am +44 77 8674 8559.

Yesterday wasn't great weather and I was running on low energy, so I went back to playing one of my favourite "I'm in a city, poor and it's crappy out" games... I found a big cozy chair in a bookstore and started reading. But you don't want to get caught reading a book you have no intention of ever buying, so after a while you have to get up, head on down the street and find the next store. Sometimes they don't have chairs... hopefully that's when you've picked a book with short chapters. Regardless, I'm now 200 pages into Shopaholic Goes Abroad (the series has slightly different names here). But I just can not identify with the character... not opening bills, putting off payments and going into further debt merely to indulge in selfish pleasures...??? I don't know anyone who would do such things...

Upon return to the hostel last ngiht I got chatting with a few people. There was one excited little Greek man among us - he had just gotten a really good new job and wanted to celebrate. Anyone remember playing "Je suis morte" in French class? Apparantly you can turn anything into a drinking game.
