it seems to me it is high spiritually and a visit in places like the highlands wouldn’t be bad at all!!! Maybe even do my Master’s there…

I’ve been here? I LIVE HERE! Yes, DEFINITELY WORTH VISITING, but I’m Greek, what did you expect me to say? No, seriously now, in the summer Greece is an awesome place for tourism. Athens may not be the greatest to stay in, personally I’d just pass through if I were interested in the great architecture, but the islands are magnificent [see, I’m completely honest with you guys]. I live in Athens (3 years and going for fourth) and every summer I make it a point of going to a Greek island – I’ve been to Paros and Mikonos twice and Crete once! Funnest times ever…

although there is this turkey-greece kind of rivalry, I do think that in many senses turkey is worth visiting coz I hear that a. it is cheap, b. it has many nice places to hang out in. I don’t know how it is to live there but for tourism I’d go myself. Now, don’t mistake me, I’ve lived in Turkey [3years], but 1. i was really young, and 2. it was in this small village which us Greeks call Andrianoupoli but I’m sure they have given it a tuekish name. Have passed through Constantinople [istanbul] too, but as I said, I was young and cannot recall. but my childhood years there were nice…

what a lovely city, especially in the Cristmas-time. I’ve live in Chicago for 3 years and all my good memories come from there… I may revisit someday soon if I end up going there for my Masters…

I am sorry for all you Arabs out there, or actually Saudi’s in specific and not all Arabs, but especially for a woman to go to Riyadh is like committing suicide unless you are the kind of person who loves to live in a golden cage, coz that’s what it is. a pretty city [btw, built by Americans] where you can do nothing! I’ve lived there 3 years and although I am the type of person who learns from the worst experiences tossed my way, I don’t recommend that you go there…
