'To overcome the crisis, we must sacrifice the bosses'.. you couldnt have come across a more appropriate grafitti slogan for the times. If you got to wander around Exarhia, the place is like someone's scrapbook. Athens is tired and angry and I fear it will get worse. I live in Greece and I really enjoy your posts. Keep them coming.
Thanks Sophie! You know, I definitely felt the vibe— people just felt angry and worn down. There was a tension in the air, and it did not make for the happiest holiday, but it was fascinating nonetheless. It's understandable how frustrated everyone must be, from what little I know. I hope the situation improves soon.
I felt that the graffiti I came across was a perfect reflection of this tension and anger— my friend acted as translator, and I thought that particular piece was powerful.
Harika is the Turkish word for wonderful, marvellous, extraordinary. It has always been one of my most favourite words, for both its meaning and the pleasure of pronouncing it.
