... thing that happened here was being able to meet up with a familiar face. I have a friend from SPU who happened to be traveling through at the same time so we met up and the three of us went exploring a little together. It was fun to see a familiar face. (Her name is Ann and she was my P.A. on my dorm floor freshman year.) <br><br>Something I didn&#8217;t know about Greece before arriving was that they don&#8217;t flush toilet paper down ...

Hallo zusammen<br><br>und viele Gruesse aus Thessaloniki in Griechenland. Billigflieger fliegen selten in die ehemaligen Ostblockstaaten, daher sind meine zwei Fluege hier nach Thessaloniki in Griechenland und zurueck von Dubrovnik in Kroatien (an der Adriakueste, die sieht recht viele ...

We got back to Thessaloniki and we were going to have to spend the day there as the train out to Istanbul did not leave until the evening. Our expectations for the day were low based on our previous experience but we actually ended up having quite a good day!<br><br>We walked along the water front and saw a massive blue jelly fish which was quite exciting before heading to a pier that contained a few interesting museums and ...

We arrived in Thessaloniki from Macedonia late in the evening and as there were no trains continuing down to Athens that evening we were forced to spend the night.<br><br>We stayed in the cheapest place we could find which was probably a bit of a mistake as the bedroom floor was sticky (thankfully it smelt of beer) and vefore we checked in what can only of been a prostitute came and took the "concierge" away for 5 minutes to sort out some business :s<br><br>The most exciting ...

... trying to start a new business. Right now there is no business it being holiday time, so he has, let's just say, some financial worries. Their home style is kind of Japanese like, at least in the livingroom/diningroom. Meals are taken sitting on the floor around the table. Turkish style, the common servings are dipped into by all around the table.<br><br>We went for walks in the coolness of the evenings. This is when the girls would walk arm-in-arm with Tamer.<br><br>Very ...

... myself being forced into a taxi, I was sure I had time to walk to the train station anyway. As it happened I could have hopped backwards to the train station in the time it took the train to pull in to Skopjes rather basic and drab little transport hub. I waited on the platform for 8 o'clock to roll around, then 8.15, 8.30, 8.45. I was beginning to get annoyed- I'd spent my last Macedonian dinars buying a coke from a fat woman in the platforms ...

... meal was slightly marred by the haze in the room. A few times that evening we actually saw a waiter bussing ashtrays. That's right. If you had managed to fill up your ashtray with cigarette butts during the course of your meal, you wouldn't have to sit and look at them; rest assured that a fresh, empty tray would be provided for you to fill up again.

... in her hands the entire time. Apparently the belly dancers also use snakes when they perform, but we had already missed it. It was a good time once everyone had arrived, and we shared an apple-flavored hookah (I didn't like it very much though). We left a few hours later and caught another cab back to the apartment; thankfully that one wasn't too expensive though and the driver was nice. And that was the end of our Friday. Love and miss you all! Talk to you soon. Megan and Jared

... and filling up our coffee cups now then I did asking them from a full coffee cup before! Haha Oh well, that's the "drunkard" Canadians again. Back to the hotel to tally up our laundry and drop it off for some cleaning. Thank God for laundry day, I'm down to one pair of white pants and a white shirt. We headed out to the pool next for some lazing around and a few refreshing dips. After the weather started to heat up we headed back to the room for some complete couch potato time...for ...
