SUNRISE

We saw the sunrise in Athens, I couldn't ask for a better ending to an amazing adventure.

Last night I truly got to experience the Greek night life. 

Dream City, a VIP club was kind of hard to find in downtown Athens but when we made it our new greek friends showed us a great time. They spoke perfect English as they are classmates of my friend at DEREE.

In the states I'm so used to hearing the last song around 1:45am to have the place close at 2.  Here the tables didn't shuffle till around 5.  It was interesting to see their music taste= mostly American artists.  The girls definitely  wore "club" attire but I'd say they were more classy than the way girls dress to go out in the U.S.  (Granted I have been to only one club).

Back to the music - The usual club remixes were surprisingly fun to dance to - but our twin Greek friends Jenna and Kayla ( their names in english version) informed us that Greeks don't really dance full on at the dance floor,  just by their seats.

They seemed to be disappointed but this seemed perfectly fine with me!  I liked it better that way it was more personalized and we could just dance with each other. This connects with Greeks and their "in crowds" and only wanting to hang out with their friends and not branching out.  We won't talk about their drinking intake- a bottle of Russian vodka was shared among the table.

Us Americans attempted to dance the night away with our new friends...

When they started to play Greek music towards the end of the night, Jenna looks over and says "Honestly this is horrible for clubbing , they start to play bad songs at the end of the night to push you to leave!" 

What an an interesting tactic to shut things down! But this was one opinion of course.

Sure enough people started to scatter but not too many.

Our next stop : two words: GREEK MAC. 

Yep a Mac in a pita, Greek style.

I'd say my life as a local in Greece is pretty much complete now.

Time to pack!
