A Night Out in Xania

Bethany and I met our fellow classmate Megan on Saturday night. It is a relief to talk to another cool person in English. As initiation we all drank some local wine and went out to some hilarious Euro-bars downtown. Club Klik’s catchphrase is “we have no good service, we have no good music, we have no good view!” and it is true. The girls were all from da Scandinavia ya, and it was a funny contrast to the Greek markets. The Johnnie Walker is cheap. It wasn't long before I smelled something beautiful, a presence I have not felt since…




Cuban cigars are everywhere and cheap! I bought five for ten euro and they were awesome. I met a guy from the UK and he didn’t understand why I was so excited. I ended up having to recap political history of Cuba’s tourist past and revolutionary dictator, including the missile crisis. I came to think this morning, “if he doesn’t know about Fidel Castro, communist Cuba, the boycott, and the missile crisis, I wonder what he knows that I don’t?” It is probably stuff about dust bins, Shaftsburry and Pickadilly’s.

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em (which you don’t!)
