European Capitals

[The Lawspeaker]

We also have no Czech members (as of yet) so I will post the following pictures of Prague in their honor.
Prague is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

I'd post Constantinople but it is temporary in enemy hands .

Note to self: visit Prague.

I'd post Constantinople but it is temporary in enemy hands .

Then post Athens, the temporary capital.
Note to Lysander: please do. It's still relatively cheap.

Anyways- what city is next ? Who will be showing off his/her capital ?
Are overseas European capitals also allowed ?

[Lysander]

Then post Athens, the temporary capital.
Note to Lysander: please do. It's still relatively cheap.

Meh, Athens is nothing special apart from the rubble known as Acropolis . It just can't compete. I mean there's Rome, Paris, London, Cologne, Munich, Vienna etc. Pretty much all the larger cities of Western Europe are marvellous.





The rest is just like this


So meh, like I said it's nothing special. Although I've never spent too much time there. Doesn't Absinthe live there? Maybe she can tell you more.

But still, it's not even the real capital so it doesn't count .

[Absinthe]

Doesn't Absinthe live there? Maybe she can tell you more.

I can, but I'd rather not

[Lysander]

I can, but I'd rather not

Can't be that bad?
We have to start making an effort to get Κωνσταντινούπολις back, am I right or what ?
In any case I have always been a small town man.

[The Lawspeaker]

Ah come on you Greeks. Why so ashamed of your capital ?
There is nothing to be ashamed of except for the mess (which we have here too).

More Athens:



















That is not even the best of the Ottonian architecture in Plaka.

[Absinthe]

^ Those are quite nice

It seems that tourists have a way of bringing out the beauty of a place. They tend to see (and photograph) only what's good and leave out the ugliness.

I remember another English friend, a woman, she came to Athens with her kids and she took some stunning photos. It is because she was photographing from certain angles, in the way that the garbage and gutter water could not be seen...
