Ciao, vamos a la playa!

I think most of Greeks speak English. It’s amazing comparing to Spain. And they use quite familiar some words from other languages. For example I’ve heard ‘vamos’ in a first normal talk. I thought I have bananas in my ears and asked to clarify – what did you say? He said ‘vamos’ but with ‘v’ though in Castellano ‘b’ is correct. I asked another person who also used it, why vamos, does he speak Spanish? He said that they only say vamos and nothing more, just it was a popular song ‘Vamos a la playa’.

I was more surprised that they use ‘vamos’ and that’s why using ‘ciao’ didn’t make me a big surprise.  It’s not so common as in Spain for example, but anyway nice to make such farewells.
