Even without my studies here are some things an American can translate...
ahhh, the Bucks... a welcome familiar in this foreign land.
this naturally follows...
international house of cheap, yet hip, furnishings...
duck tape sold on the street corners for 1 euro.
I see Jesus in Greece, too. There is a lot of faith based symbolism in Athens. To be Greek is to be Greek Orthodox almost exclusively....but it's often a historical, cultural tradition for people...rather than a heart thing. There are 3 main evangelical churches here (cleverly called 1st, 2nd and 3rd).Here are a few things I'm having trouble translating... perhaps I'll have better luck after wk 2 of class...??
What are these?? Should I try them?? These are standard questions for me at the grocery...
This is outside of my design expertise... "hair equipment"??
Parking rules are mere suggestions. The red arrow indicates where the corner ends....totally irrelevant to the red car! Also, note the cars parked 2 wide. 
from the opposite angle...I will only be going to the Monday night outreaches from 7:00 - 10:00 PM until my class ends in 6 wks. So in case you are curious... that is 10:00AM in Idaho and 9:00AM in Seattle. Last week I met Sara who asked me a lot of questions about how to find medical help here. I'm praying she took our advice and went to get the free check-ups! She also has our card and could call us for further help.
FYI, here are the demographics of the prostitution Nea Zoi saw in 2009...
29% Nigerian
24% Romanian
14% Bulgarian
12% Albanian
9% Greek
10% Former USSR
Thank you for standing w us in prayer as we hit the streets!

In my orientation for my trip to Egypt we ended with a short lesson on Arabic. Yikes. Good thing they use the word "toilet" to mean the same thing there as it means here.
Good luck with the Greek. I continue to struggle with English.
