- You have a 3 litre bottle of home made wine in the fridge that has a tightly wound paper napkin as a stopper.
- You have a whole watermelon in your fridge that actually tastes like watermelon!
- You drink a Greek coffee; metrio (one teaspoon Greek coffee, one teaspoon sugar) in the morning instead of a soy latte.
- Your Aunt calls 45 times a day to find out where you are, what you are doing and when you are coming to the village for a visit (you just left!).
- You stand on the footpath and are in total awe that scooters, motorcycles, cars, buses and trucks actually get from A to B without totally wiping out the population of Xavia in a catastrophic car accident right before your eyes.
- Bus drivers have the kind of 'tude and makes you feel like the village idiot when you ask them where they going (a destination sign on the bus might help from time to time).
- The beach is full of Xeni...
- The Old Venetian Harbour is full of Xeni...
- Everyone who is not at least 48th generation Greek is a Xeno...
- The person sitting next to you (anywhere where you might be at the time) will get your entire life story (including how much your house cost you) out of you in polite conversation. Hmmm... whatever happened to "Nice day today, isn't it?"
Cheers
