Day 6: Athens

Kimao: I pretty much slept all day, while Josephine went to the grocery store with Uncle Chris. At night we went to Niko’s apartment where he lives with his girlfriend Despina. I slept a little there too while dinner was cooking. He made bar-b-q beef on kebabs and some vegetables and potatoes.
Liberal: We were polite listening to Niko rant about George Bush, the war in Iraq, and how horrible capitalism is. But silently we wondered what kind of economy Greece would have without the money spent by American capitalists and tourists.
Artist: Niko likes art. He is an aficionado of technology, uses a Sony Vaio to produce his digital art and movies. I was surprised to learn that the video industry in Greece is dominated by the PC instead of Macs. At the end of the evening we were treated to his latest work, “The Copa Banana,” which was a digital movie about sex with a banana. It used animated bananas and animated bodies of porno stars.
