Why do I live in Greece?
you ask, politely
.
After all, I could walk into a store,
pretty well anywhere in the world,
.
and grab myself a bottle of ouzo
and some feta cheese
.
But, would I see this,
almost every evening,
looking out from my apartment balcony?

In English, the phrase fly in the ointment is an idiomatic expression for a drawback, especially one that was not at first apparent, e.g.
We had a cookstove, beans, and plates; the fly in the ointment was the lack of a can opener.
The likely source is a phrase in the King James Bible:[1]
Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour. (Ecclesiastes 10:1)
For five centuries, 'a fly in the ointment' has meant a small defect that spoils something valuable or is a source of annoyance. The modern version thus suggests that something unpleasant may come or has come to light in a proposition or condition that is almost too pleasing; that there is something wrong hidden, unexpected somewhere.

Greece is maybe a small country but has a huge history! Beautiful islands and tastefull food, friendly people and wonderful seas... Greece combines sea and mountain, history and technology, good food and entertainment! Greece has lakes, rivers, seas, mountains, plains and of course islands... Greece is blue. Greece is green. Greece is purple. Greece is red. Greece is everything, is the country in which everything began. And finally Greece combines all the other countries, because in Greece you can meet... The world!

I can say with certainty that you are lucky to live in such a picturesque place as this. You have made the right choice, because to live in such a place, it means to be charged with special energy.
the sea and in the background the sun setting out for the mountains - it makes you think that everything is still ahead and this is a great feeling.
I appreciate such places for their peculiar atmosphere. Although the photographs on 100% can be seen that the place is calm and peaceful.
Thank you for giving us our pleasure.

Ever since I was a 6th grader, I've been listening to stories about Greek philosophers. They seemed to me very interesting stories and this used to be the best class during my school time...even Mondays felt good just because of this. I've not been much into book reading but Greek philosophy and mythology has been of keen interest to me. I never knew Greek beaches would become another interesting topic to me. What else is Greece famous for?

Hi @onceuponatime,
The beautiful pics you shared from your balcony shows how plain and beautiful place it is to live.
I have many other points in my mind which shows why one should live in this paradise called GREECE
1-Temple of Olympian Zeus
2- Temple of Poseidon at Sounion
3- Temple of Zeus at Cyrene
4- Erechtheum
5- Temple of Apollo Epicurius
6- Doric Temple of Segesta
7- Paestum
8- Temple of Hephaestus
9- Valley of the Temples
10- Parthenon, Acropolis
After knowing these 10 big points one simple can leave Heavens for this beautiful place.
Your love with nature is breath taking and off-course result of Blackberry Priv is awesome as well.
Stay Blessed always :))

Understandable with a view like that. I've spent a fair bit of time in beautiful places and have yet to grow bored of watching and photographing sunsets – somehow, each and every one is unique. Costa Rica, South America, Bali, New Zealand – nightly sunset ritual, on the beach whenever/wherever possible. I can't say I've ever been to Greece, but I suspect I'd do the same there.

I am with you on the Greece thing. What I am not with you on is the ouzo thing. It tastes like black liquorish which is horrid tasting to me.
But dear sir, this holiday season, we all benefit.. Henry Ford has re-appeared... to change our lives forever. I wrote it about that Christmas Eve without realizing the importance of what I was going to do..
Don't vote it, just read it.
It's past Christmas now, but I'd still like to say Merry Christmas to you.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I almost feel like I can live part of your life (which I can't) when you share these things. I feel like I am able to watch and experience where you've been and where you are going... and that is an opportunity you share that allows people like myself to have a taste of the good life through you.
I wish you the best in 2018
...and to thank you a different way, you've used your wealth to truly help some real projects grow and become something. You're the type of crypto whale that people could learn and adopt how you act. While profit is always important in your books... you believe in helping and shaving off some of it to help real good projects. I've seen it, and that's why I treasure what you do and who you are.
Enjoy your holidays. You deserve it.
