OH MY GOD GUYS
Jul. 8th, 2009 08:15 amTODAY I WAS AT THE ATHENIAN ACROPOLIS.
THE ATHENIAN
ACROPOLIS
I SAW THE PARTHENON WITH MY OWN TWO EYEEEES
Allcaps appropriate amirite.
Also I now have my very own Nike of Samothrace, Winged Victory. She only cost me 13 Euros. And she is big. And I don't know how I am going to carry her around for the next five months but you know whatever I have Nike of Samothrace! In Paris, the same statue was over 50 Euros sooo I am pretty happy because mine is from Athens.
Also I want to get a little Bronze Athenian helmet. Mm. Athens is way awesome too, everything is reasonably priced, especially the monuments.
It only costs 6 Euros for Students to get a 4 day pass to the Acropolis, the Ancient & Roman Agoras, the Temple of Zeus, and several other Ancient sites. It's crazy!
And I also sat in the theatre of Dionysus. Yes. I did.
And now... I go!
Hope everyone is having a good time. Oh yeah, I hope Terracon went well for everyone!
SPEAKING OF TERRACON.
A half litre bottle of Bacardi is 9 Euros here. That's like $18. And in Rome, you can buy a bottle of wine for ONE EURO.
We're not really drinking/partying much because you know, we can do it at home and hangovers waste/ruin days, but yeah, it is pretty exciting seeing those kinds of prices. Thought I'd share. :P
