Unless you are in a Greek-speaking area, of course. ^_^

I was with two women from Austria in a rather small-ish town on one of the islands, and 3 Greek men decided to befriend us. We went into a taverna, and as the Greeks do, put our stuff down on a table where we wanted to sit, and went in to the kitchen and picked out our food.

As we were coming back to our table, one of the guys said, in Greek, "What is that shit?" pointing to my camera and tote bag. "Then eena scata" I casually replied (That's not shit).

They didn't speak any Greek the rest of the evening. :rofl:
