Photos o' Athens

This is James.
This is James' beamer- makes it pretty fun to ride around Athens. He's a pretty crazy driver too, but seemed to know what he was doing...
James' room where I sometimes spent an excess of 20 hours.
My mobile home. As you can see it's gotten a little fat, need to put it on a diet.

Found this in one of them black market shops in the center of Athens: 70% absinthe and made using 30% wormwood (apparently). I'm quite sure that it's not legal, but it was fun to try. As you can see it came in a dropper, which we used to mix into cokes. We didn't hallucinate at all, but I have to aggree with the info on wikipedia- absinthe creates a sort of lucid-state of drunkeness, where you don't feel stupid-drunk, but rather quit coherent mentally, and nor are you inhibited quite as much in the physical sense.
Went out clubbing on occasion, renting out tables and spending way too much money on alcohol and trying to be big shots (well not so much me, but you get the idea).

James' gun. It used to be his grandfathers and is still wanted by the police for whatever reason. Notice the clip is loaded with live bullets. I wanted to go and shoot it somewhere, but he wasn't keen. Crazy malaka...
