    A place that is far away and is impressing due to unusual and strange aspects. Could your country be far away ( although it's very big) and strange to you?
    Example: Just heared that a sort of cousin of mine is on a trip to India

    I dunno. I’ve been to a few “far away” places but each was unusual and strange in their own way.

    Do you consider graffiti art?

    yes. in it's own way. Something which takes a lot of skill as well as creativity is art for me. (though I may not like that art form) Music > All though

    What is your favourite art form?

    gadjo: plenty of places are FAR away from my city - the furthest I have been within my own country is more than 2200+kms!! (Sikkim) and yes some of those parts were pretty strange. Since most regions have their own food, culture, language and traditions they all are pretty exotic when I visit them for the first time.

    your sort of cousin is in which part of India? the usual touristy bits?

    I have no clue. I talked to her mother who's the annoying type of woman who praised herself and her family. She knows I'm in big trouble and with my nerves down but kept talking about their wonderful trips around the world. So I tried to end the conversation very quickly. I had my own period of fascination about India and I'm always fighting my coworkers wrong opinions. I mean they see only the poverty side of the country and the place where our gypsies came from.

    My fav form of art is cinematography. How lame....I read a lot about the movies and artists and tried to see the best art movies.

    Can you dance traditional/folkloric dances?

    Not really. I'll have a token bet on the Grand National and buy a lottery ticket most weeks and that's it.

    I think we've probably had this one before but I can't think of another. What place would you like to visit, and why?

    1. Machu Picchu - it's beautiful and full of mistery. It's my life dream.

    2. The birthtowns of my parents in northern Greece. For a return to the roots.



    Where will you spend this summer/winter holiday?

    Priest Lake is very nice. While there you should also go to Spirit Lake and Coeur d'Alene if you haven't been there before. Lots of craft brew available in the area also. Strongly recommend Moose Lodge for dinner outside of Coeur d'Alene.

    Nothing this summer. We'll be in Maine in mid September. Maybe Patagonia in the winter, either this year or next.
