"Looks like Pakistan but with lot less people, smog, dust, or garbage. "

but just like Pakistan, athens is full of pakistanis. many use it as a transit point to europe, but end up spending all their lives here...

Looks like Pakistan but with lot less people, smog, dust, or garbage. I see that your salad also seems free of dried out airborn ghoray ki leed, which garnishes the food of on street vendors in smaller cities in Pakistan.

Ok, slab of cheese :P The picture is titled 'me having greek salad in greece'. There's no 'me' in the picture. Post a picture with one in it :P

shobig payee, not sure about the hegemony of blue color. apparently there is also a law in all the islands that the doors and windows have to be painted blue and the houses in shades of white...no one is complaining since the tourists are willing to dish out money to see just that :)

Is that a chunk of cheese on your salad? Looks delicious.

*groans with envy*

Fabulous, as always! Any idea why this hegemony of the color blue...is it a depiction of the 'blues' after centuries of renaissance?
