Two nites ago I was in Corfu, I took an all nite ferry/slash bus to Athens. I arrived there at 4am. I had no plan, and very little money. I assumed the bus would bring me tot he city centre and I would have no problem figuring out how to get to the port so I could get to my destination Island of IOS. I wasnt so lucky.. it brough tme to some obscure bus station near a freeway. Not only that, the buses and metro was not yet open. I had my whole life on my back... I was dead tired.. felt sick.. and I walked out of the bus station.. I looked left, I looked right.. I decided to go right. I don tknow why. I walked for about an hour. it wasnt till then I asked a taxi driver where the acropolis was.. unfortunately, her was greek. Just like everyone else in this freakin city. At about 8am I arrived at the acropolis. I sat down on a park bench and made myself a PB and J sandwich. Mmmm.. I went down to the port bought myself a ticket to IOS. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. WOuld I get a job?? Or would i be back on a plane, maxing out my VISA to get back to Canada?
