Athens

Greece!! Greasy. ha




Had dinner at this grill joint nearby with colleagues..

The servings in greece are extremely huge!

My party gf also went there with me..

I wanted to check out the pub/cafe area at Glyfada but some of us decided to stay in the room and drink/play cards..




Took the hotel shuttle to the town area for lunch the next day..




Jus mucking ard in town..




Finally decided on lunch place...

Food's really salty and huge.. N they take damn long to serve...




I had hot choco! Me like!!!

The manager, Louis, is quite the "perv" He kissed all the gals' hands and even fed my colleague a bite!




Dying of hunger while waiting....




My colleagues who look like stars!! really! (ok the gal's eyes dun look like that k.. she was jus tryin to be funny)

The Full House Korean series female lead and Michelle Chia's bf, shaun chen, from Malaysia..

I even found some pics for you to compare!!




The bazaar and some lovely restaurants we walked through on our way to Acropolis...

I bought some souvenirs, and wanted to have my name wired in Greek, but the man who did it was nowhere to be found. oh wellz.

Also got some candies from the Traditional Greek food store..








Within the Acropolis are building statues of the Temple of Athena Nike, Parthenon and others whose names i'm not sure of... heh

Great view and touched marble stones!

Actually most of the stones are rebuilt, only some left untouched.. it's jus this vast piece of stone land..

Usually it's 12 euros but since it was a public holiday so it was free for us! yay!




Went into the mini museum...




Wonder if it's some carvings or someone did some damage to the marble..

Can you see the stone stature on the grass patch? It's the Temple of Zeus.. We went down to it later...

The breeze from above is amazing! It was so hot and only this area had wind and my gf found the spot!




Went down town and took this pic.. looks like it's some club but it's actually a door way for a fashion boutique...

I didn't wana go shopping but my gf did so we went to Levis, Miss Sixties and Mango..

I bought two tops from Mango! More than my gf and i didn't wana shop! argh.

This dude from the city street stopped me and cut this pic of me within a min!

I wanted to walk away cos i didn't wana pay him but he said it's ok..

N he really didn't force me to pay or wat when he was done..

Maybe that was a subtle ploy but it worked. I gave him 1 euros. heh





Took cab to Mikrolimeno for seafood dinner!!!

There are quite a few restaurants and nice cafes all around this lakeside area..




We settled for this restaurant cos there was swordfish and the tables are nicely decorated! heh

Those 'stones' i was holding were actually salt and pepper weights!

The crabstick salad, prawns and drunkard mussels were yummy but the main course wasn't so nice..

My swordfish wasn't too bad but the others hated theirs...

As usual we waited ten million yrs b4 the food came and they dared to ask us for tips on top of charging for service!!! wa.

Was really quite beat after the long day and jus slept through..
