It is not easy learning to live in a different country. I am sharing my experiences and hope someone will find it useful whether living here in Greece or any other country.

Learning Greek

Five years is about time I learn some. My advantages. No more rip off in taxi's, no more being charged 1 Euro, when the rest of the country pays 50. No more buying something with no price tag and the clerk charges you are price out of their head. No more people, calling you a A hole and speaking behind your back in Greek. No being laughed at because I don't understand. No more being pushed aside in a line at the ATM or pushed in a bus. God created the whole world, not just Greece. ~~CcP~~~7/7/2018

Earthquakes

Something you have to get use to I guess. I have felt a few in my lifetime, most were minor and only lasted a few seconds. A couple of nights ago, I felt the biggest so far. Funny, it is a weird feeling, I was sitting and I could feel the floor move. First thing you stop and think "is this real"? Then you wonder if the worst is going to happen. First thing is not to panic or run if you are outside. Get away from electric lines and anything that can fall on you. If you are inside don't go outside until it is safe. Most people want to look and see what is going on. Driving on the roads, pull over and stop. Stay inside until it is safe. I hope I never have to witness any of this, but this is something to think about if you are planing to move to Greece. The world is changing in weather patterns all over just not in Greece. ~~~CcP~~~1-17-2018
