How was the political climate in Greece different from what are you used to? If applicable, describe a time when you had to navigate a political conversation during your time abroad.
From my own personal experience, I have not have had too many conversations in the Political climate area. From what I have seen there are many protests but nothing violent, from a conversation I had with a student at the protest, Greeks look very closely at the U.S but they don't want to be "like us".
Please select any of the following that apply to you, and that you would be willing to share about your CYA experience with other students:

Briefly describe a cultural experience you had that was significant to you in any way.
I met people who are from Latin American at the gym, they have become great friends and I always look forward to seeing them every morning. I always say hi to my local pizzeria greek friend, this is significant to me because we took a chance to wave and smile which is not a big thing with greek to do with others especially Americans. Talking to my marble carving instructor is always a pleasure especially when we share a meal together after class.
Favorite food in Greece?
grilled pepper with cheese. Pita Gyro
