It seems like such a very long time since I final noticed you. I do know I’ve solely been away for only some weeks, however to this point my trip right here at Greece has been nice! I am presently staying on the Academy.
I discovered a pal who shares the identical ardour with me in philosophy and he requested me to return with him to this place to satisfy different folks. I am very glad to remain right here, I’ve discovered so much from numerous folks.
Anyhow, yesterday I used to be strolling alongside Agora or the town market and located some actually nice stuffs to purchase and take house. On this place I discovered many people who find themselves buying and selling and speaking about gossip (for girls) and politics (for males). After hours of strolling, I used to be in a position to get to the Hephaisteion. I stayed for some time and witness the fantastic thing about the temple.
At midday, the warmth at Athens is topnotch so I stayed on the Stoa for canopy. There are two sorts of Stoa, the one I stayed at was the Painted Stoa. It’s a lengthy coated corridor that’s open in a single aspect and is adorned with many stunning work.
I spent nearly an hour there and spent the entire time speaking to individuals who get to have interaction in a dialog with me. It is actually humorous although for they may simply come as much as me and ask me one thing impulsively.
I used to be so dumbstruck. On the proper of Agora are the sacred locations that may be discovered within the metropolis just like the Theatre of Dionysos, the Askelpieion, and most of all of the Acropolis.
After some time of wandering round, my consideration acquired caught by a bunch of man loudly arguing amongst each other. I occurred to ask somebody about what is going on on and he instructed me that the male citizen are debating about massive choices that have an effect on the town.
This place that I acquired into was known as the Pnyx, the house of the meeting of individuals. Nevertheless, I need to go to some quiet place as a substitute and acquired excited about following younger kids every carrying small vases. I observed I used to be again on the entrance of the town which was the Karameikos for I used the potteries as a landmark.
By the top of the day, I made a decision to spend my time on the cemetery and stayed there until sundown. The cemetery was nice for it actually depicts the tradition of the Athenians with their pottery and carvings.
However what pursuits me most is the folks’s every day actions on the town. By what I’ve noticed, they’re nearly routinary. Completely different sorts of individuals have particular sort of jobs to complete every day. Even earlier than the day begins folks may be seen from in every single place.
I got here to ask a person why he was up so early and he stated he had a trial and he have to arrange. Ladies get water from the fountains and merchants are up for early buying and selling. By mid-morning, servants are already engaged on their respective jobs. And by midday, the Agora and nearly each plac ein Athens is so busy with folks speaking, doing enterprise and plenty of extra.
By mid afternoon, the place begins to cool down and retailers are making ready to shut, that is my favourite a part of the day in Athens for it is rather peaceable and enjoyable. And finally by midnight, servants begin to chill out and even play video games with their buddies.
I one way or the other acquired used to the busy and loud setting right here at Greece. Although I am not fairly used to speaking about politics on a regular basis, and even some severe or non secular matters like faith and life. Athens is a really financial centered metropolis and nearly all folks has one thing to commerce and has one thing to supply as livelihood. A
ll over Greece, the folks grew olives, grapes, and figs. They saved goats, for milk and cheese. Within the plains, the place the soil was extra wealthy, in addition they grew wheat to make bread. Making it scent like a mixture of greens and cattle on the identical time.
I actually favored it right here to this point. I wished to discover the town extra however I assume have to have extra time. Nonetheless, in the present day I used to be invited to go to a pal’s home and spend the evening there. I am gonna have to try a Greek home and be amazed as soon as once more.
I will write to you once more very quickly. Take care all the time. See you!
