I'll just have a glass of water thanks

In Greece, it is assumed that you know what you want to order without having had a look at the menu. Requests for a menu are met by a grumble and followed by crappy service from that point on. How the flip am I supposed to know what I want to order if I dont know what you serve?!?
*menu arrives*

Huh? What is Water Ice? That's like saying Hot Cold or Up Down... aah dont you just love Greek Engrish? Good thing I can read greek, poor tourists. *stares blankly at the greek writing* So a Water Ice is a granite? erm, what? Turns out its actually a Slush Puppie *shrugs her shoulders*

Greek Engrish and oh-so-gay shirts

All the boys are wearing sparkly shirts, not just a sparkle here and there, really really ridiculously sparkly shirts! I may be wrong but I just dont see straight South African boys following this trend (I hope I'm wrong, the clubbing scene here is so fabulous, sparkly shirts dancing all around, its like a disco ball on steroids!)

Bat outta hell

*flapping noises*
Me: "whats that?"
Thoma: "a butterfly" *said in a heavy greek accent while picking up a tennis racquet (not actually a real tennis racquet, its for killing bugs, you press a button and the strings are charged with an electrical current, same principle as those purple light things that zap bugs, pretty nifty)*
*squints eyes to get a better look*
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!
Me: "thats not a butterfly its a BAT!!! omg omg kill it!"
*swoosh swoosh swoosh*
Thoma: swearing in greek*
Thoma: “Maybe it can see me coming? But its supposed to be blind!!”
*swoosh swoosh thud*

VICTORY!!! And let that be a warning to the other bats out there who have even the slightest thought about entering my brave cousin’s house


Did you know? If a bat gets caught in your hair its almost impossible to remove it? The more it flaps about the more tangled it gets *wildly shakes her head and tries to get the imaginary bat out of her hair* Heebie Jeebies!
