Nah, I just grew up in Melbournes west, and my Grandparents lived in Thornbury. Still, I would kill for one.

Two questions for when you got to Glifada....

Did you:

1. sip on a latte at the same place Aussie Drug Lord Tony Mokbel was caught after evading police for a year or so wearing that famous wig?

and

2. did you peruse the fine Greek ladies immaculately dressed and looking awesome and say "eimai sto paradiso"
