I have been incredibly lazy about my blog and see that it has been 2 months since my last blogpost. Time pass so quickly when everything is new and you meet new people every day, trying to figure out how everything works. For example, back home you get all your bills directly to your bank or on email and you go online and it takes 20 minutes every 2 weeks to sort your bills out for the month. Not so much here... Electricity is prepaid and bought at the gas station, you go to the waterboard to pay your water bill, to the internet provider to pay that bill, to the Alpha security company to pay their bill etc etc etc, you get the picture. Also, there is no one stop shop here. I go to one shop to buy most of the groceries, mainly because they irregularly have greek yoghurt, sour cream and cream. Another shop to buy other certain groceries, another shop yet again because they have meat and frozen seafood and some edible cheese. Then you go to another couple of shops because one is a greek butcher and the grocery store next to that have some European/American products. If there are any furniture needed you do not go to IKEA, you call a carpenter who will build you the furniture you need, like our bed for the annex. The conclusion to this is as follows: I need a stay at home ex-pat husband!
