So we went out last night, got a taxi downtown, went out to a sushi bar (yes, again, we sort of missed out on the whole Cyprus thing) and then went barhopping. I DID have local beer, which was actually really good, I'd recommend it if you're ever in the area.
However, two of us came home early (not wanting to spend all our money in one night-- drinking is EXPENSIVE here!) and then the third wandered in. Then an hour and a half later (four-thirty am) the last one came home... with three greek boys. They then were joined by some random girl no one knew and no one liked (she was very brash and ridiculous) and they stuck around and made a ton of noise until SIX AM!
So this morning when I woke up, I tested my camera by taking a bunch of pictures of the apartment, and it appears to work most of the time, but since I can't see anything in the viewing screen, I can't aim or set up my shots, so a lot of them look terrible, and none of them look all that good or artistic, so I'm very frustrated. However, by taking a million shots of the same things, I'm hoping I'll get a few good ones, and I can post them!
We've been eating most of our meals out on the balcony-- it's gorgeous (hope you're enjoying your negative-degree weather, it's supposed to get near 70 here today!).
On a depressing note, I have been told (we haven't watched the news or even seen a TV screen since we got here) that a plane crash landed in the Hudson River a few days ago, but luckily everyone survived. ...except the bird that caused the engine problem in the first place.
One of my suitmates was in the shower this morning, and even though this is supposed to be one of the three days we have running water (the next day isn't till Tuesday!) the water ran out mid-shower.
So we walked around the city today, and my camera officially kicked the bucket.
Also, uploading pictures to this site is not really working. I'll try again sometimes, but you'll have to check facebook if you want the whole mess, and until I can figure out how to get another camera, or steal pictures from everyone, I won't even HAVE any to post
