The experience

I met the group right outside the Herakleidon Museum: already a few people laughing together, shoes tapping on the pavement. Our host, Dimitra, waved us over like she’d known us forever. There was this faint smell of grilled meat drifting from somewhere nearby (maybe souvlaki?), and honestly, I felt a little nervous at first. But then someone handed me my first shot (something sweet and sharp), and just like that, it all loosened up.

We wandered through Psirri’s backstreets, where every wall is covered in wild street art and you hear music leaking out of every doorway. I didn’t expect to meet so many people from different places: Brazil, Germany, even someone from Thessaloniki who insisted we try tsipouro next time. The open bar hour went by fast. I lost track after my second glass of wine (or maybe it was third?). Dimitra kept checking in on everyone. She even taught me how to say “cheers” in Greek (“Yamas!”). Li laughed when I tried to say it in Mandarin, probably butchered it.

By the time we hit the last club (in Gazi this time), everything felt electric: the kind of place where you can feel the bass in your chest before you even get inside. We skipped the line (which was huge), and inside it was all neon lights and sweaty dancing and strangers singing along to songs I only half-recognized. At some point, someone bought me another shot, I think it was ouzo? Still not sure if I liked it or not. But there’s something about being surrounded by all these voices and colors that makes you forget what time it is. I still think about that.
