Ok, here goes....hope you enjoy reading this more than I enjoyed experiencing it.
So I'm headed to Dartmouth next year, but am taking a year off (sort of) going to school in Edinburgh, scotland. Pretty dope,the drinking age is 18 (!) and chicks here dig american accents.
Anyway, I just finished four weeks of spring vacation in which i went all over europe with two other american students -Switzerland, spain, prague, munich, italy, athens, and finally Corfu, this sunny little island off greece. Pretty damn sweet, we were staying at this place called the Pink Palace (www.thepinkpalace.com if you're interested, would recommend it to anyone). So we had been scoring shit basically everywhere, hash in spain, buds from Amsterdam in Rome, whateva, and we're on corfu with none. So we think, hey lets go into Corfu Town (biggest town on the island) and see wahts up - little do we know that in Greece, it is a MANDATORY 7 (SEVEN!) YEAR JAIL SENTENCE for possession of drugs -any kind, any amount. In hind site it seems pretty dumb -but we find this little coffeeshop down an alley, they're playin techno and reggae in there, so it seems pretty straight. We ask the guy if we can get some weed at all, he says yeah, maybe, just hang out. later he says yeah, go and wait outside. So we're outside in the alley and after 5 minutes or so this dude shows up, 5 Euro for a little bag (total shit by the way). Anyway, the wierd thing was he just drops the bag, and BOOKS IT outta there. We think, hmmm this just got a lot sketchier, so my friend wisely stuffs the bag into the sand under this little bush nearby. No joke - ten seconds later, sirens -cop cars, one at each end of the alley. They roll up, 'we know you have drugs on you'. Obviously it was a set up, or the guy ratted us out or who knows. So they take us down to the station, speaking no english, we don't have our passports or anything on us, we're screaming for our fucking consolate, 'we want our embassy' and whatever, cause we didnt have shit. Of course they don't listen, and just go right ahead and strip search us -not kidding, flashlights and all. Determined fuckers they were. Not surprisingly they didnt find anything and eventually let us go, nothing on our records, didnt take our names or anything, but scared shitless.
One of the worst experiences of my life, but makes a good story, huh?
And the moral of the story is, kids.....just go without when you're in Greece.
