Where's Wally

• Figured out some other things about Greece:
  • Smoking is mandatory for everybody over 7 years old.
  • Footpaths are for parking motorbikes on.
  • Some of the buildings are copies of Oamaru banks, but they fell down.
  • They say "nay" when they really mean yes.
  • "Greek salad" is a bowl of olive oil with a few leaves floating in it.
  • The "bar scam" the Lonely Planet warns about is real.
• Made it to Athens. (It took about 40hrs in planes & airports.) I already figured out why Greek civilisation fell: when they try to write, they keep getting maths mixed up in it. Sigmas & deltas & stuff are what makes maths so hard, so they can hardly understand anything they write. Sheesh. --Wal 14:59, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
• Survived 14 hr flight from Sydney surrounded by screaming babies and screaming Australians. Made it to Dubai at 4am local time -- already 36 degrees outside. --Wal 02:31, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
• Stuck in Chch airport. Flight delayed by 3 hours... great start! --Wal 05:01, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
