My writing is better after some sleep

So last night's barely comprehensible mess of a post left out alot of important details.

The excitement of being in a new place hasn't worn off yet, so it's probably too soon to say, but so far I love this place. I've gotten some vital help from unexpected places and for the most part everyone here has made me feel at home. My hostel is literally 300 meters from Acropolis Plaka, which is itself surrounded by restaurants and touristy shops. Perhaps not the most authentic area of town, but everyone speaks English, which is important right now. I'm staying in a place called Athens Backpackers, which oddly is run by Australians. I'm in a 6-person suite with its own shower and a mini-kitchen. I'm really impressed with the place, actually - it's extremely clean, reasonably quiet, and the staff is quite nice.

Today I am seeking out my luggage, so wish me luck!
