Introducing Athena

Athena. The woman who lives above my hostel in Budapest. Well, she actually lives in Hong Kong but she grew up in London. Both of her parents are Hungarian but her father lives in Spain. Her "mummy" has two flats in Budapest. Athena bought a flat in Nice, France recently. Her and mummy are going there on Thursday. Then she will go back to to Hong Kong where she is a financial advisor.

She thought she lost her wallet on Friday and she canceled all her credit cards. She found the wallet later and called the credit card companies from the hostel phone. At 8 AM:

(London accent with slight lisp.)

Well right. What would you like me to do then? Do you want me to sell my body on the street? Is that what you would suggest? Because that's what I'm going to have to do. Sell my body because you will not help me. I cannot believe this.


Listen, here is a lesson for you. A free English lesson for you, it's pronounced linkeD not linkED. You really need to work on your English.


Maybe I need to call my friend, the consulate of [insert fancy office here] and tell him that you are going to charge me fifteen percent interest? I promise you, he WOULD NOT be happy to hear about this.


I'm going to meet with the future Prime Minister on Sunday and I MUST have money by then. It is absolutely imperative.

When she gets off the phone she comes into the lobby and tells anyone that will listen about what happened to her wallet and that her mummy is only giving her 10,000 forint to last until the end of the week. Impossible! She has to meet with the Prime Minister, she has flowers to buy, gifts to give and she has to pay for a taxi ride to the airport!

Mummy used to be a model. Mummy would not like Tom if she met him because Tom is good looking and Mummy says that good looking men have easy lives and they are used to getting what they want. Mummy is a maneater. Mummy is disappointed that I haven't married yet. I need to call Mummy right now and tell her I'm going to be late. I'll return if Mummy lets me.

Athena is a self-proclaimed bible bashing born-again Christian. She prefers men that are six foot five with blond hair and blue eyes. She studied at Oxford and knows billionaires.
