Life in a Foreign land

This is my 5th day in my so called "home". Am settling down really well, unpacked all my stuff the first day that I arrived.

Went to a friend's birthday party on Saturday, in a 'Private' restaurant in Central. Its one of those, "upstairs in office building, if no one tell you, you wont know kinda restaurant".

Good food, took some pictures of great food.. Will try post it as my phone doesnt work with Vista system.. ugghhh how disappointing.

Then went to another birthday party in one of those karaoke, again, private ones, in an office building secluded, booked for private functions kinda karaoke. Met some new friends. Finally, nearly everyone you meet in parties and functions are all new, very diversed in terms of profession, place of studying and living.

Met a hot pretty girl from Taiwan who was previously working in the Kiwi land, tall and model like.. Friends back home (esp those bachelors) let me know if interested!! She is great fun to be with, humble, banker from Taiwan but studied and worked in NZ!!

Will write more next.. Pretty tired after a long day of interview..

Athens - 2

Cont;

Acropolis (high city)- one of the oldest city, it shows acropolis at the top of the hill, the Parthenon sitting on right in the middle on top of the hill.

Parthenon is one of the world's heritage sites (one of the many world heritage sites that I have visited in the last ten years), built in the 5th century BC!! It is a Greek temple for Goddess Athena, at the time I went, they are refurbishing to its best form, pre olympic.

Attached few pictures of it being reconstructed to restore it to the best form.

Nostalgic trip -1 (Athens)

Finally has the chance to start the real blogging and fulfill the aim of my blog page... Travel..

First stop - Athens

View of Athens from Acropolis

Athens - no doubt is one of the oldest city/civilisation in history with its rich myths and the city itself is really beautiful. Was there in Winter, with its mediterranean climate it was a really blessing and getaway from London. At the time I went, it was preparing for the 2004 Olympic, thus a lot of buildings were being refurbished, old tourist spots being revived to live up to the Olympic. More to see in the next part.

con't with part 2..
