Actually we are in the suburbs. In the Athens city though(from Ag. Paraskeui and on) the toilet paper deal doesn't exist.

Oh and you can drink from even earlier I think. Yet we don't have quite the drunkenness problem that many other countries have.

It's fun to read these posts of yours! Justin M.
