My life in UK

As I promised, I'll show you how my life in UK is.
I don't leave on campus but in a small town near the campus. So I can say that indeed I have leaved in England!

Here you can see the river that crosses my town. It has a lovely bridge built in 1875!


Here is a view of the post office and the old church, from the bridge.


Every Sunday there is an autumn market....


We have many parks.....

Here is a view of my University.


And here you can see the bus that I take to go to the campus.


Here is the palace (!). I don't know what is it. I just took a picture of it. It reminds me of Jasmine and Alladin. Did you watched it too?


And here are the streets in my town. It's so different from what I was used to see every day....



Ok.... I'll show you and some outfits really soon.
Until then, many hugs and kisses x x x

visiting UK

Before two weeks i visited UK for business (well it sounds really good...). It's not like "Hey i am going to London for shopping and sightseeing". I went to visit some universities, ok a lot...and my programm was quite tight.
Here is a sample of my stops around UK.


I' ll explain you my exact programm....
from Athens-Greece  to  Heathrow airport -> Manchester -> Leeds -> Bradford -> Milton Keynes -> Coventry -> Leamington Spa -> Birmingham -> Bristol -> Reading -> London -> Heathrow airport  back to Athens-Greece
And all these in 6 days...So tiring only to describe it, imagine to do it.

And the trip starts here:

Hyde Park

Big Ben

The London Eye

Ok...that's it. My last photo before leaving UK. I have to hurry or else I'll miss the plane.

Somewhere here i want to talk about a little adventure we (I was not alone, my friend was with me) had.

We missed the train from Bristol to London just for 5 minutes and it was 11 o' clock in the night. The next train departure was at 5:30 in the morning, so we had to wait for about 6 hours for the next train. Unfortunately the train station had to be locked in the night, so we had to spend the night in a bench just outside the station. Well it was very cold. My friend gave me one of his jackets, which i wore on top of my trench coat, but i was still freezing. Finally I managed to sleep for an hour, while my friend was looking after me and the luggage. Thank you A. The rest hours I was scrolling up and down in order to warm up, but with no results. Finally we catch the train at 5:30 but unfortunatelly (one more time) it stopped at Reading due to mechanical problem, so we had to take a bus to reach Heathrow airport, where our hotel was. Finally we arrived at the hotel at 8 o clock in the morning, tottally tired.


But this is something I am going to remember for the rest of my life. Sleeping in a bench, meeting new people, new places, finding my way with no maps at all. Well great experience.

Until next time, take care you guys. Kisses x x x

Cyprus, what a great place!

Οι μέρες πέρασαν γρήγορα κ δυστυχώς επέστρεψα και πάλι στην Αθήνα. Αλλά πέρασα υπέροχα. Αυτό έχει σημασία.
The days passed very quickly and unfortunately i get back to Athens. But i had a great time. This is what matters.
Ο αρραβώνας ήταν πολύ ωραίος. Τελικά πήρα καινούριο φόρεμα. . .Μου άρεσε το ρομαντικό στοιχείο που έβγαζε, αλλά επειδή παραήταν ρομαντικό για μένα, το "έσπασα" λιγάκι με μια μπορντοροδοκόκκινη, που λέει και μια γνωστή τν περσόνα σε εκπομπή τηλεπωλήσεων, τσάντα.
The engagement was very nice. I finally got a new dress...I liked it because it was so romantic, but it was toooo romantic for me, that is why i decided to carry a dark red clutch.

Παρεπιπτόντος αυτά είναι τα καινούρια μου γυαλιά (Marc Jacobs). Είναι πολύ ωραία, κατα τη γνώμη μου, αλλά δυστυχώς δεν μου πάνε. Είναι πολύ μεγάλα για το πρόσωπό μου. Γι'αυτό προσπαθώ να φουσκώνω λίγο το μαλλί μπας και γίνει κάτι... Εδω έκανα κοτσιδάκια, τα οποία ξεσήκωσα από ένα περιοδικό και ξετρελάθηκα όταν τα είδα, διότι το χτένισμα δεν περιλαμβάνει λαστιχάκια(μόνο ένα μπουκάλι λακ!). Βέβαια στο περιοδικό φαίνονταν πιο ωραία αλλά who carres?
By the way these are my new sunglasses (Marc Jacobs). They are very nice, according to my mind always, but they dont fit me. They are toooo big for my face. That is why i try to blow up my hair. Here i am trying some plaits, which i saw in a magazine and just loved.
Ένα τελευταίο πλάνο αφήνοντας την Κύπρο... A last shot while leaving Cyprus...
See y soon. Until then take care. Kisses x x x

Λόγω ζέστης "δραπέτευσα" για ένα σαββατοκύριακο στην Εύβοια. Και ήταν super!!!
Because of the warm weather i "escaped" for the weekend in Evia. It was super!!!

Τελικά παντού υπάρχει μία Μύκονος!
Ultimately there is everywhere a Mykonos!

back in Athens...

Holidays in Crete are over. What a pity ...
The most important thing is that I spent 10 wonderful days with my boyfriend, away from everyting.
I relax a bit of reading and exams, I went to the sea, got tanned and I did a little detoxification by the computer and the internet. I needed so....


Not to gabble, i begin:


Making my suitcase, the night before my departure, i was a little bit hungry. You want the excitement of the holiday "tomorrow i'm leaving, yupi !!!!", "there is a beautiful film on tv and cannot watch it without something to eat" i discovered a little treasure (unfortunately it was a small one) in the refrigerator. The plate is in christmas mood, but I am totally with the spirit of summer!

From my suitcase I can't say that came out special pieces to walk over the island...Besides i was in vacation.

I also discover the wild side of Crete...i went in an aquarium and saw from close live, and for the first time ever, a shark...

Of course so many days i change many outfits but unfortunatelly my camera run out of battery....technology...yeah right.


And not to forget....Crete's beauty:
Have a nice summer, all of you. Kisses.
