When asked where you are from, say Australia! (Pt 1)

This is Part 1 of 2:

The scenery in Athens has been really nice so far and with the summer weather on its way, it can only get better! So this got me thinking, "I best start to learn a few things about Greek women." While buying a few things at the supermarket that we frequent almost daily, I decided to spark up a conversation about Greek girls with the clerk. The conversation started as one of the beauticians from the salon a cross the street walked into the store. My jaw drops every time we walk past the salon because of the amount of gorgeous girls that work there. Anyways, as she ordered her carton of cigarettes, she knocked over a box of straws. I leaned over to help pick them up, she immediately stopped picking them up, leaving me to put the straws back into the box, and went back to buying her cigarettes. No "Thank yous", no "Efcharisots", no eye contact was made.

Taken aback, as soon as she left I asked the clerk, "Did I do anything wrong there?" He responded, "No, no, don't worry about it, that is just the way girls are." He followed up by pushing his finger to the tip of his nose, pushing upwards, and saying,"Greek women are stuck up. They judge easily. Even Greek men have a hard time." I replied, "Yeah and let me guess, they don't like American guys either?" He nodded his head, "Sorry dude." As I left the store the Charlie Brown slow, sad, piano solo played out. I was a little disheartened, but perked up when I realized the challenge that awaited me...

Here is an example of the Greek scenery... Just kidding, but she really is Greek.
