Travel writers often describe Athens as a city of "contradiction" and say that "it plays with your senses". When you read things like that in travel books you figure it's covering up for something really bad or that the travel writer just wanted to sound like a novelist. The thing is Athens is a place of great contradiction and I have the perfect example. As I walked out of my apartment last night into what I can only describe as insane and dangerous traffic, I smelled the best bakery smell that I've ever smelled before. The strange thing is, there is no bakery for more than a block from my front door, only traffic. This leads me to believe that the people of Athens might be developing the first and only cookie powered car.
