Total mess.....

Wednesday 22 December 2010



This is exactly what I mean by Athens daily photo! Strikes, strikes and strikes have done Athens a city that you cannot simply live in. Roads closed, traffic jams, drivers on the verge of crazy, people trying to reach their destination without public transportation.
Oh, yes, I forgot, it's Christmas!!

Bicycle

Tuesday 21 December 2010



This is a picture you don't see everyday in Athens. But day by day more and more bicycle riders get on the roads of Athens. It's not the easiest town for bicycles. In fact you're more of a target when you're on your bike! And there are no bicycle roads too, maybe it's the only big city in the world that doesn't care for bicycles.
But I ride my bicycle in every occasion! And soon I'll use it for my everyday transfer to my work...
