don't let the greek intimidate you -- links to the pages are under the photos and then all you'll have to deal with is dutch!

visit her site for more pictures and be sure to read the nifty conversation (in english) at the bottom of her post, or visit dezeen design magazine's blog for more entertaining comments, again in english.
