In Athens with a demostration


Beginning of my European Trip.

In the early morning of the 23rd of May my little kittens wake me up , I feeded them and went to sleep again because I care about sleeping so much. At around 8:30am again I woke up and wore my grey tight jeans, grey checked shirt, black hat and black high hills Summer shoes. I was ready to leave house and I called a cab in a minute but it was late I got on a cab that was passing in the street. We need to go to Goztepe harbour in 10 minutes I couldn’t forget the bus that goes to airport passed away in front of our eyes quiclky we missed it. So I had to go to the airport by taxi and paid a lot of Money. Shit! I didn’t want it.  Anyway I  arrived at airport on time and I put my red luggage on the check in desk and than paid 15 TL  to get abroad. After that  I was ligth tos hop from a dutty free shop and I bought Turkish Raki for my friend in Spain, Turkish Delight.  I got on the plain and I was very excited to go abroad after two months. The travel took about 40 minutes from Izmir to Athens like get to Urla form Izmir I didn’t know it is quite close by plane.

When I arrived at Athens airport first Greek Letters took my attention and I understood and was sure I am in Greece and than I called my host Natty. He would waiting for me in the city centre by X95 bus I went to city centre the driver was a woman  I realized that  when I needed to ask a question where should I get off the bus. In Turkey it is not common to see a woman bus driver. And I notice there a re lot of motorbikes. The plates of the cars have three letters and four numbers.  So, when I arrived at city centre Natty took me to the home.  The weather was perfect the is no clouds in the air.
He is slim, long hair since 2003, handsome , 25 years old guy.  He has a black&white poster taken by Helmut Newton in his room and he likes Reggy music, ofcourse Bob Marley and hats. He has a bonzai tree in the red window with a yellow curtains. He puts a photo of a model who is taken by Helmut Newton.
He lives with two other guys more than a year. THe house that he lives has 2 flats, He is on the first floor and each room with different colour of painting. Whole guys had painted the house with red, yellow and blue. In the hall there is a hamak for people to want to get rest.
Tonight Konstantinos  will show me around by his motorbike. We decided to meet in front of the Hilton Hotel and I was very excited to see him, I would know he is very handsome and cool guy in the photos of him but when I saw him I was upset because he has lost more than 10 kilograms probably the sadness of his father’s  illness. So, by motorbike in teh warm breeze he rode met o the highest point of Athens, I had to hold him tighty not  to get down the motorbike while riding up with the warm breeze. We could see the whole view of Athens here if we want we can get down with the teleferic.

Sometimes I feel so lonely in a country that I don't know any friends. Before I came to Athens I made some friends to meet. Natty has a personal computer but he doesn't let me to use it for a while I think he is very bussy with his job. I had to use internet in my cell phone.

There is a nearer shopping centre that is AB I walked there and bought something to prepare salad for everybody at night and I prepared salad for more than 10 people. Natty, his two roommates, neighbours and I ate Turkish style salad, baked potatoes in a small tiny cute kitchen with happyness. After dinner girls cooked Turkish coffee I was surprised that they know how to cook Turkish coffee, I love it.

The  other day  my CS friend Kriton invited me for a Greek dinner in   Stzefis hill restaurant. We  ate rakomelo( Raki with honey) and  mezes and alive Greek music.n It was great to know such a great person here, not  to live alone. I was happy to with staying with him, He is curly grey hair and full beard and funny guy. He took me to the Keramikos by his car and liked the music poured out of Hive cafe- bar and sat on the roof bar and listened to club music and feel the musin in my blood that is one of the food I like to eat. There are many bars side by side you can choose one of them to have fun.

I stayed with Kriton for a few days and met his other guest Daniela, she is curly hair, olive skin cute girl from States.

We planned to go to demostration tomorrow evening together.  Since last Spring there is a financial crisis in Greece, After crisis government cut the salary %15 of the people.

Daniela and I prepared breakfast together, I fired red-green-yellow peppers, choped tomotoes and cucumbers, cheese and Daniela made caciki. The table was desinged with clourful dishes, this made me so happy an wanted to eat all of them at once.

One of the important thing I learnt in Athens is to stroll without getting lost in a foreing country. That's great. I got on the 224 bus went to Sintagma Square and met Kriton and Daniela after spent good times with Georgios. He is a little shy, handsome, skinny, long blond hair young boy with a big heart. We talked about travelling for hours and he recomended me to see Gavdos island. This island has the second most beautiful beach and wiht no electricity. So you can see the whole stars at night.. Georgios gives nude pose in the university for 3 hours twice a week. He fired three months ago. The government gives 400£ for a year. He wants to live in a small village in Greece. We were talking about many thing in a gloomy cafe which is Booze Bar and drank nescafe and beer. I asked him what he wants to do in five years. He stopped making planes since January because of he  and his brother had a car accident. He has stayed at hospital for almost a month. He told me that nobody knows what happens tomorrow. His ultimate dream is to move to Shouth America and get lost there in a village with his family and firends and if it is possible he doesn' t want to wear and being naked. He lived in England for 8 years and studied Physiclogy and Spanish, he had wanted to have a career but he couldn't, his mother was ill and he had to go back to Greece and he has desided that there are something important more than have a career. And he likes kulas so much.

Kriton, Daniela and went to Art School in Tavros and wathced a show about bike porn. Kriton took me to the Natty's house by his car.

Natty prepared vegatable omlette for bearkfast the last day before I left in Athens for Barcelona. Natty made me so happy he boiled sage. Thanasis helped me to carry the luggage to the Evangelismos metro station and took my photo in the metro.  Kriton sent a messag eto say have a safe trip. I was sad to leave Georgios, Kriton, Thanasis, Daniela. I left my heart here and went to airport.
