Our friend Hamley, a little polar bear who is travelling the world, has had a horrible time in Greece! When he wanted to have his photograph taken at some of the tourist locations, his owner was told it was disrespectful to have a "baby toy" in the photograph and they were asked to delete the photograph! The Greeks may have had a great civilisation once, but now they can't even work digital cameras, so they didn't spot that Hamley kept the photographs of his trip around Greece. But it has been such an unpleasant experience that he says he is never going back to their horrible country!
So, to all the bears and toys out there - travel to Greece at your peril! It sounds like an exciting place to visit, what with plate-throwing, lots of strong alcohol and ancient monuments, but who wants to visit a place where you are insulted and made to feel unwelcome?
