Banksy

We may not know who Banksy is, but we sure know his art. I'd wish I had 1/1000 of his talent. I'm a huge fan, although I wasn't very lucky to see a "live" art piece by him. Yesterday I saw the documentary he made with Mr. Brainwash and I really liked it. The above is a rare stencil found in Corfu island/Greece. I find him clever enough for what he does and how he does it and I really don't care to see who he really is. What counts is that he is a clever artist.... .so, ENJOY.

confessions (2010)

I saw "confessions" last week and I found it an amazing film. It has to do with a school and a teacher whose daughter was killed by two students and how she took her revenge.. and what a revenge!! Great scenario, great atmosphere and great director. In six words.

south of the border, west of the sun (νότια των συνόρων, δυτικά του ήλιου)

"South of the border, west of the sun" is a great novel from the great writer Haruki Murakami. I read it some months ago, I think last Christmas, and all I can say about it is that his writing amazed me. One of the best books I've ever read. Not so much for its plot, but of its dreamy word flow. I proposed it to my friend Georgianna and she absolutely loved it.

"sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner

sometimes I feel like my only friend is the city I live in, the city of angels lonely as I am together we cry".

wow what a song! RHCP are my favourite band of all times. I love their music. So many great songs.."can't stop", "by the way", "otherside", "snow" to name but a few. I hope this year they will get a new album out and I'd wish they would come one day to Greece, otherwise I'm going to travel wherever they will have a concert. I even thought Rock in Rio as they are headliners one of the days in September 2011. Rio is a bit far from here though.. so, I just hope they will just come for concerts in Europe.

ion with almonds (ιον αμυγδάλου)

Ion amigdalou is my favourite chocolate of all times. I have tasted a lot of different kinds of chocolate bars, but like this one none. It's a chocolate bar of milk chocolate with almonds in it. I just had one and it feels great!

47ouzotherapy

I really loved last Friday we went with my husband at our friend's Fragoulis tavern, which is called "47-ouzotherapy". It is like going back in time or let's say like you are eating in an antique shop. The walls are covered with old things or paintings, most of them are by his father, in combination with some up to date products, such as disco balls and strobo lights. Yes, strobo lights! His father plays the guitar and sings sometimes and of course he is giving the chance to whoever wants to be a singer, by giving him the mic. Unfortunatelly, I don't have any pictures of this but I always enjoy going there.

Greek coffee

You can start your day with a "kalimera" and a hot cup of Greek coffee. I prefer it double and "vari gliko". When I feel sleepy at work, I always go to the kitchen and make myself one cup. Feels great! The truth is that some people know it as Turkish coffee, but anyways Turkish or Greek, for me it's the same delicious treat and I thank the person who invented it from the bottom of my heart:)
