TEN THINGS THAT I NEVER DID BEFORE (insert noun phrase of your choice here)

I am feeling decidedly lazy and uninspired today so I am posting a meme just to irritate the hell out of everybody who hates the damn things. (It's annoying me already and I wrote it!)

Ten things that I never did before immigrating to Greece.

!. I never had a meal that consisted of only bread and olives.
2. I never screamed at the top of my voice whilst having a friendly conversation.
3. I never belly danced.
4. I never danced on the table in a crowded bar.
5. I never swam in the sea surrounded by jellyfish..
6. I never took part in a candlelit vigil outside a church.
7. I never rode pillion on a moped.
8. I never saw anyone eat a sheep’s eyeball.
9. I never attended a big fat Greek wedding.
10. I never supervised the building of a house in a language that I couldn't speak.

I love the idea of a meal of bread and olives, especially if you can dip the bread in olive oil.
