And what about unflushed toilets?
I was reading the review of the newly released film, "My Life in Ruins",
set in Greece, which is described, as wikipedia notes, as:
που λαμβάνει χώρα
στους αρχαιολογικούς χώρους της
Ελλάδας είναι μια Ελληνο-Αμερικανίδα ξεναγός.
(you have to use unicode to read the above).
lit. Greece, 'a badly plumbed third-world hellhole run by lazy,
Zorba-dancing louts.'
