Athens downtown is pumping.
It's cold, but fabulous.
The Greeks have always been conscious of the meaning of life, if you ask me.
Yes, there is a recession.
Yes, there is redundancy.
No, we're not gonna sit and cry.
Yes, it's Christmas time.
Yes, a walk downtown amidst hundreds of lights and glammed up trees on the streets is FOR FREE.
Yes, Greeks can have a good time just by getting a beer from the periptero (kiosk) and sitting on the sidewalk watching the congested streets and consumers' shopping bags, like reverse flâneurs.
Yes, the recession could go on for as long as 3 years. I am not gonna cross three years off my life because of stupid economics.
BREATHE.
High spirits night, last night. Two of my proud-to-have-uttered quotes:
"I wish for a Big Prince in 2012. I read the Little one, didn't do much."
"Yeap, the best is yet to come. And if it ain't comin', I'm goin' to get it myself."
(I was stupefied by the size-of-the-moon pizza I had had, "Diavola"->you know, trying to keep lean.)
