Guarez

Last night was insane. After going out for dinner and indulging in Greek Baklava (the greeks insist that it is their signature dish, and does not belong to the turks....mm) i tried to hang out with the rest of the group. I have made freinds with some of the locals over here. There is this girl in the internet cafe (Olga) who is super nice. The Island people are nicer than the main city people i think. Too nice, i say! The locals are super hospitable.
So, i have never experienced being the unpopular kid in the group....haha.....it is so weird and so interesting at the same time. Wow.
Headed back to the hotel and saw all the kids in the lobby....getting ready to go out. Enough about that rubbish. I went through the streets just chilled.

Maybe this is the real value of my vacation. It is making me realize SO many things, especially about "talking". When looking at it from a different perspective, some people seem so stupid. Words are used way too uselessly. Is there such a thing as WORD POLLUTION...lol

Back to happy things now. This morning, we headed over to the Greek private islands in boats. I have gotten like 8 shades darker over the past few days. Being brown is helpful..lol...i am not burnt red. The boat ride was gorgeous. Saw some awesome islands.

I think i learnt something important today. I learnt how to just relax and not worry about stuff if i know i cant change it. I also learnt how to zone people out and "be one with the surrounding". It was actually quiet enlightining. Super cool!

Tomorrow, we head over to italy!

I think i have decided. I am going to splurge during this vacay!

  4. i've been doing flags from each country for a few years now. i know a friend who gets patches (mini flags) and has had them sewn (or ironed) onto a sash. another one has put them all on a backpack. not sure if this is your kind of thing, but just thoughts.

    sometimes, you remind me of chris mccandless. again, sending you lots of patience.
