People that don't know me tend to address to me in English. In shops, at the fruit market, on the street, even a neighbour in a block of flats that I go in and out for years, it doesn't really matter. A lot of times I respond in Greek but they continue to speak to me in English. Their mind just can't grasp the fact that I am Greek (which I am). I remember this happening since my childhood. I found this amusing back then and since I was speaking english from a very young age, I was responding as a foreigner, enjoying this unexpected game :)
Nowadays though, I have mixed feelings about this odd behaviour of my fellow countrymen. Sometimes it is funny but some others it is annoying. It makes me wonder if I have spend my whole life in the wrong country. I mean if so many people think that I am not one of them maybe I don't belong here after all.
But today it was a day that I thought that it is amusing to let them think that I am a tourist. So I wore my most "touristic" hat, I hang my camera on my shoulder and went straight in the historical centre of the town!
For sure being a tourist or just considered as one, has its advantages. It is as if you have a licence to shoot (with a camera of course) practically everything and no-one will ever question you about it. Plus that in places with more tourists than locals it is easier to blend in and move unnoticed.
And I just love moving unnoticed :)
The last picture is kind of a selfie, captured on the windows of a fancy hotel so that you can all admire my hat :)
And since it is Sunday, this is my contribution to #SublimeSunday inspired by 
Have a great week ahead!
The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 6D mark II with an EF 24-105mm f4/L zoom lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic
All the pictures and the words are mine.
