Potential gross generalisations ahoy but hey ho, you can rip me apart later

Athens= too many cars, way too many cars
Athens drivers drive very unsafe, no indicating, no signalling, weaving in an out of lanes with no spare margin. So crowded that you can only drive into the centre of city on certain days depending on the ending numbers of your license plate. Always always grid locked.

Humungous amounts of momobikes in athens, more motorbikes than I have seen in London and new bikes too. BUT no requirement to wear safety helmets. Bikers riding the motorways in shorts and t shirt.

Athens city centre= dirty crowded ugly architecture orrible.. Outside of city, beautiful by the coast etc stunning.

Greek people, very friendly, very helpful but hot hot tempers, flair up at slightest notice.

Greek toilets and plumbing= weird. If you cant put paper down the toilet in some places erm its a bit hard to poo.

Greek men= very handsome, although quite ambiguous in detecting homos versus heteros. Sexuality is quite ambiguous.

Culture still very much males dominated,.woman tend to get noticed in part by flaunting their bodies over their minds.

Greek people CHAIN SMOKERS, they eat the things.

Greek food, delicious all of it.. bring me more mezze

Scene doesnt get going to later on, that accounts for dinner etc. Majority of people were dining after 9.00pm.

Gayness still quite underground, tattoos piercings not very common in mainstream greek society...
