It was normal, typical day… sorry I forgot I woke up at 12:30, because yesterday was Jakub (from Czech) party. He will leave Thessaloniki and it was last night in dormitory. Of course we drank a lot of beers and wine. Because Aris (my Greek friend) was not in Thessaloniki I had free day and I decided create my own web site. It was not very difficult, because on “geocities” server I found special software for people without experience with this work. After 4 hours of hard work I got quite good effect, of course I hope that every day will be better, and you will be reading what interesting happened in my Greek live.
On the evening in TV was football match Barcelona-Chealse and only one men from Spain – (Iralio -I have never seen in my live so good supporter) - was supporter of Barcelona, rest of people from Spain (about 5) were opponents of Barcelona team and of course they were supporting Chealse. Score were 6-4 for Barcelona after extra time.
Before match David, Daniel i Huan from Spain painted your hair on black colour, few weeks ago they made tatoo on the back.
People from Czech went in the evening to Metheora, I don’t know what they will do in Metheora during the night.
18.04.2000 - Wednesday
If  you think Greece is wonderful country you are wrong. It is long story, you have to see personally (especially heaps of rubbish - everywhere). Typical Greek is drinking coffee 4 hours per day, playing in Tavri 1 hours per day, sitting in Taverna 2 hours and everywhere wearing sunglasses. I do not known when they working. But its were only my personal considerations.
Wednesday was quite good day. I began experiment with hot jet and I was performing few measurements (one takes 1,5-2 hours) In the evening second day Champions League. Were playing Real-Manchester. Big defeat of Manchester. After mach big Spain fete.
20.IV.2000 - Thursday
If I could sleep longer it had to be good day. But all afternoon in lab until 20:00, experiment need a lot of time for stabilize temperature, that why I have few time for overlooking Internet and data analysing.
Never more Barbecue Party. I have never eaten so many vegetables during one evening, terrible. Later party was moving to “FLOGA” - something like bar with place to dancing. I do not why but this name remind me Russian language.
Motto of day : “Ena pita gyro, parakalo”.
21.04.2000 – Friday
Don’t spend too much time in lab before computer, because you sight will can perceive only top or your nose, nothing more. I know it believe me.
Discussion with Robin (Irish men) is really difficult, but it is very good experience. During this conversations you can learn not only new English words, but also Greek – malaka, gyro, pita. etc… From yesterday we have one big good idea - manufacturing and selling “Malaka – souvenirs” for foreign tourists.
Motto of day: “We had the biggest civilization in word, now we have only stones”
22-24.IV.2000 Saturday-Monday  Polish Easter.
Polish tradition is spending Saturday before Easter in lab. So, I did it. But Sunday – typical Polish, 26 eggs for 3 people. Of course dinner also Polish. Not typical for Easter Sunday was time on beach. On Monday a little water of course. But I felt lack of climate of family holiday.
On Sunday evening we did small party (Gorbachov, pickles, sausages). Were Primoz, David, Gintas, Darek and second Rafal. On Monday was next Jakub party, now in dormitory are only few people (everybody are on trips), so it was not very big one, but very nice.
Surrounding of Thessaloniki is looking now very nice. Everything is green, a lot of flowers. When I have free time I’m going outside the city. Village are really nice (of course if I don’t see a rubbish).
Motto of Easter: “Inside byl church” – “byl” in Polish means “was”
25.IV.2000 – Tuesday
Dormitory is completely empty in these days. Many people left rooms, and they are on trips: Crete, Istanbul, Peloponez….. Seventh floor all the day is like area after biologic bombs attack. Furthermore two big swimming pools in sinks with really danger contents.
We are looking for brave person which will clean a drainage of sink. It person has to have very long hand, sink is really deep.
It was last day in Thessaloniki Jakub and Primoz. Of course we were drinking few. 
Motto of day: “Greek girls, shave your moustache” - Daniel
26.IV.2000 Wednesday
I won’t write about my lab work because it’s very boring. Every day the same activities. Sometimes something happened, like damage of equipment, but it’s interesting only for me . Of course if happen something funny I’ll write about it.
Tavli – most popular table game in Greece, yesterday I lost game 7 times and won only one time. Daniel is really good player.  I hope that more training will do champion from me.  Somebody was very brave and cleaned our sinks, kitchen looks quite good now.
Motto of day: “Greek pizza –pizzas” - Stefan
27.IV.2000 Thursday
Day like every day, it means nice day. Came my supervisor from Poland dr. Darek Asendrych. During our discussion with prof. Stapounzis I heard that I’ll spend in prison one live plus 5 years. One live for destruction the vacuum cleaner (property of prof. simultaneously laboratory equipment destroyed two weeks ago) and fife years for destruction hairdryer (also property of prof. very close destruction – I’m using it for heating the jet).
Motto of day: “Who know when will be train to Istanbul?” - Marco
28.IV.2000 –Friday
In TV were only transmissions from Orthodox Churches and religion movies from Old Testament. Yesterday was first bridge night, of course was very difficult playing, because only I know rules, and translation everything to English was giving me many problems. I think that I’ll have to find in web some bridge page and rewritten useful English words.
Motto of day: “What can you see all time on Greek table in restaurant? Cup of caf?, glass of water, mobile phone, cigarettes and sun glasses.” -Darek
30.IV-7.V.2000 Turkish trip.
Turkey was not wery bad country. I can say that I like Istanbul but don't like turkish "friends" from Istanbul, which all the time were repeating the same sentens. You can see it below. Istanbul is really beautiful city, big mosques, Sultan Palace, Harem and of cource really oriental Great Bazar, where you can hear languages from all world, also Polish. But beter atmpsphere for me was not in Istanbul but in small town Selcuk, really few turkish "friends", normal prices, nice hotel and beautiful streats, squares, a lot nests of storks (like in Poland). But music from mosque at 5 o'clock in the morning, terrible. Efez - archeological site - really big and fascinating, together with Selcuk creating nice area.
Travel from Turkey to Greek island Samos, two hours by ferry, fucking 25 $. From Samos to Athens, 14 hours 10$. We were spending in buses, trains and ferries about 55 hours.
First Greek island in my live- Samos. We rented a scuters and all afternoon were visiting coast, of cource was picnic on the wonerfull beach.
Mottos of trip: "Kardesz"- Turkish brothers or friends.  "Hello my friend. Where are you from? Can I help you? Do you want to buy some old coins?"
08.V.2000 Monday
I wrote a lot disadvantages of Thessaloniki, but Thessaloniki has also few adwantages. You can going across the street anywhere and policemans do nothing. Very often in saloniki are entertainments with free entrance, like yesterday in open air theatre concetr of jazz music.
Motto of day: "Be carefull, you are in Greece" - Ivan.
09.05.2000.Tuesday
A lot of people come back from trips, they were mainly on Crete but also on Crete (specially for Gintas) Peloponez, Turkey. Now every day I can see hundreds pictures and listen many stories from travels. 
Sometimes entertainment with free entrance is very, very bad….. like yesterday. Two music bands, two times not nice Greek music.
Motto of day: “I spent all my money” I heard it about twenty times.
10.V.2000 Wenesday
Using of air condition for me: person from north Europe is a little danger because immediately I get a catarrh. That’s way now when is sunny and 25 Celsius degree, I have a cold.  But never mind, I foud solution: beter way is open the window.
Motto of day: “If will you find two ideas sell my one“ - Marzie
