Let the Greek adventure begin...

If you are going somewhere...

... it is not possible without saying Good bye to your family, friend, colleagues, buddies ...
or maybe we just looking for opportunities to have some party?!?!?
However, I was leaving to Greece for 2 months and I had 3 parties... ?!?
yeah, we definitely taking every chance to have party.... :D

First one was with members of my Local Committee (AIESEC Osijek) on Thursday, also with new members and special THANKS to Jelena (Želena) for her contribution; taking one day off in her busy MCP life and traveling 300km to be there!!!! :)

Second one was big annually party for all people who were employed in last year in my company, luckily that was perfect way to say good bye to my colleagues and friends from work.




Third one was so special, and wont happen ever again and i just couldn't miss it, because it was wedding party of two of my good friends. All The Best for Ivana & Tomislav!!!! :)
ps: first dance was so fu***** fantastic! ;)




So, after all those parties, you really need to leave :P
Starting destination was bus station in Osijek, then Belgrade and then I took flight to Athens...

If you are in Belgrade?!?
... then go to train station to Internet cafe, the owner is so nice, you can eat there, surf on internet, drink turkish cafe :D, ask to switch the channel on tv
annnd, if he likes you, could get some drink for free :D :D :D
... also, very IMPORTANT, do not trust to anyone on the train station, they have so many interesting and creative actions, how to take you money or bags in so polite way that you just can not imagine... specially when you are in hurry on your way to airport and you wont have time for talk with police :S

On airport was interesting, I met an older lady who was traveling to Greece for wedding of her daughter.... yeah "Greek wedding" :D also, we saw very popular Serbian actor, Svetlana Vojković ... many of you will know more if you check this video :)



"Funny" thing is that I was so much worried about by big "heavy bag" which was ~20kg... and guess what??? I could have 32kg without any problem, also for small bag they did not check the weight... :S I could take so many home made things from Croatia, but I did not :((((
(ok, ok, rakija found place in it)

ONLY thing they do care is: "Do you have swine flu?!"

We arrived to Athens around midnight and it was nice to go outside and realized that is no cold like in Croatia :D It was even nicer view from an airplane... :)
Airport is so so so far away from the city, If you take bus from there it will take 40 minutes to come to center, including approximately speed 120km/h in the city.



Good thing about going trough Belgrade was because somehow slightly I get used to "difficult" characters, so in Serbia I repeated my Cyrillic skills and started with preparation for Greek one :)
Everything here is written in Greek and then you have Latin one version, maybe. After so many advertisement on way airport -> Athens, one was written in German, I never thought I would be so happy to read something in German, but "never say never" :D

Marta took care of me, introduced me to house holder also. On the doors of my room I found welcome message from my roommate Tatiana from Vienna, which was so sweet... she was outside and got back at 5am then woke me up to meet each other... that was not so much sweet, but still I like her ;)

Kalinichta ;)
