It is a nickname for Athens originating when King Ion (Violet) ruled ancient Athens. William Sydney Porter popularized the term again by calling Austin, TX the "City of the Violet Crown", but Athens was the original. Pindar, a poet, used the term to describe Athens during the fifth century BC.R.

The experience will help my studies, but it is not for a school requirement. I am actually staying with Albatros the whole time! Without him, I would be just another lost and helpless 'laowai'.

I wanted to post on your blogs but my Espanol is not so good these days :) I just got a new and better camera so the photographs will look sharper next post. It is great that you are interested in American cinema. You should visit the places from the movies for real if possible, they will have a more profound affect on your view of America. I would love to visit your native Argentina as well, especially to see the penguins!<BR/>rpriceR.
