"Mad dogs and Englishmen"
It's 2pm in Athens. There's an old saying that "only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun". I got advised to stay inside during the hours around noon earlier. I was going around sweating like crazy. I sweat a lot, even back home, but I was pretty sure people were looking at me like I had The Flu, and that just made me sweat more.
Mediterranean people are super lazy, walk slow, spend all morning and night hanging out with friends, and don't really feel the need to achieve anything. There's no real tech sector to speak of here.
Athens is covered in gaffiti too. Like really bad problems. It reminds me a good bit of Nairobi or Mombasa, except in those cities there is less graffiti - people can't afford spraypaint. And unlike those cities Athens feels very safe.
