I can't believe I forgot my list of fun "facts" about Crete!
1. The people of Crete use mopeds the way we use our feet and/or bicycles. They ride them helmet-less in short sleeves while conversing with passengers and passerby's alike, parking anywhere they feel and hopping on and off said mopeds as if they were skateboards and not motorized vehicles.
2. They cannot/will not express themselves through dance, despite bumping party music at any and all clubs/bars/cafes (this was pointed out to us by a Latvian traveler staying in our hostel). They are however pretty efficient with car horns (this we noticed- I've never received so many good natured honks in my life).
3. They may not be able to dance so well, but man can the people of Crete parade.
4. "Chips" ie french fries, should be considered a food group in Rethymno. Everything and anything comes with a side of chips.
5. You cannot flush toilet paper on the island.
