Hey,
So, it is my second entry in this so called blog. Not much has change but i leave to Greece in about 7 days, boo ya grandma. I have built a scale-ish model of the Temple of Nike, and that was hard. I used old pieces of wood from a fence. Looks like a fourth grader had built it, but that works since the real Temple of Nike is a ruin. I'll just say i was was going for the real thing. I have started on these cards called bubblegum cards, which is for my History portion of the class. They are a lot of fun. I have learned to surf the web, (because I've never done that...). I'm like the guy sitting at Tofino's wave break calling out waves. The one thing I need to do is write down 20 questions for my English class. Damn it, can't do it now it is dinner time. I still live with the parents, no big deal. The time of right now is 5:31 pm, lets see when i get back to finish this blog.
Well the time now is 10:12pm, not bad considering all the things I have done in the time I have been missing. I have eaten dinner, finished building my Temple of Nike, had a shower, went to a friends house to grab random belongings of my parents and stubbed my toe. All great things other than the who toe thing, that bastard of a wall just jumped right out at me.
20 Questions
Crazy Culture Differences
1) I wonder if in Greece the men and women go by conventional fashion?( In the sense that men wear pants not 3/4 shorts)
2) If I will see any out spoken yelling from the older generations directed at the youth like I have seen on Television?
3) If I will stand out as being a tourist, because of the way I act in general and act when I see something new?
4)If the language barrier is going to be as tough as i think it is going to be?
Gender Relations
5) If not being able to speak Greek with have a huge impact on having contact with the other sex (females)?
6) If how I meet girls in Canada is going to be seen as rude, innocent, or just plain out pathetic?
7) If seeing a couple in a town act the same way as a couple would act anywhere else, or are their courtship ways different?
Well I really need to so 13 more but seeing I have worked like 5 days in a row at 12 hour shifts and having 2 days off before the 5 days working making it a total of 7 days, but before the 2 days off having worked another 4 days I'm pretty sleepy. I still have to work tomorrow, go to school tomorrow, write an exam in Geography 112, and finish reading Helen of Troy. I'm drained. I'll finish this tomorrow.
Have a great night my fellow fans and always tip +10% when at a restaurant, but if the food sucked only go 8%.
