But I likes it. I didn't see the monuments you mention or have such interesting conversations but I just liked the atmosphere. And I'm really impressed by the Greeks. I had been told, and had believed, that they don't work but they never seem to stop working (at least in the restaurants and shops)<br /><br />If you want to know where is the best walk in the world, as far as I am concerned, go to Soughia in southern Crete and walk to Aghia Roumeli; it's not far but it's incredibly mountainous and it takes two days.

They are immigrants from the Balkans, from the Middle East and from North Africa. Albanians, Algerians, Pakistanis, Somalians, etc. They are immigrants.<br /><br />The problem with building that mosque is that many/most of these immigrants will move close to it, the locals will move out to escape that five times a day muezzin call, and then you can wind up with no-go areas like you have in Paris -- as though Greece doesn't have enough problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-67600517261212026152013-05-07T21:10:11.652+03:002013-05-07T21:10:11.652+03:00 A state-sponsored mosque to boot; it would seem t...
