My memories from Athens May 2009 with two girls

My memories from Athens May 2009 with two girls

We have had very fun here in Athens - I, my daughter and
my exchange student - mostly because of my tankerous or
dangerous english skills. Yes, it happens and shit
happens, especially to me and we laugh so that our stomach
hearts. I send before to my exchange student a message by
mobilephone, I wanted to ask that were are You, but
because nowadays I cant see without glasses - so I send
her a message: were ass You, I didnt laugh then, but now
we laughed - where are You.

And here in 5stars hotel, when I ask for something missing
to get to our room from our private executive lounge
servant, when I ask for a missing glass, a missing
tea/coffee cup and a missing bath coat - I get the bath
coat - and when I ask for the glass and the cup - I get
the cup - and at last the third time, when I ask for the
glass I get the glass, heureka, thank You, think about
this that the third time is the best time.

My exchange student says, that I am an ironic woman - and
with that irony or even selfirony I try to cope and
survive to the next day.

My daughter says, mum come to sleep, but I said that I
have so many thoughts and ideas in my upper head that it
wont help before I have written them down to computer, it
want help if I try only be and sleep or pii them from my
lower head and now I know what air condition means in toilet,

when you have stomach like a balloon and thousands of wild
bubbles in your stami...

Yesterday it was that Eurovision 2009 semifinal contest
in Moskva. The Greek TV-channel speakers said twice perse,
perse when Sweden went to final, but perse only once, when
Finland went to final, that wasnt fair, because perse
means in some other languages: tottakai...

I liked the song, I explain to you because I dont remember
the name of it or the country: where the singer tried to
sell her four dancing girls with big boobs to men, oobs,
it went to final.

But my favourite songs are still Elton Johns Good by Norma
Jean (Marilyn Monroe) and Candle in the Wind (Princess
Diana). I miss them both, they died, when they were too
young and beautiful and full of life.

I have had an exchange student from Belgium.
So I have spoke my tankerous, tankerous or even
dangerous rosted highschool english from year 1979 since
August. The idea was that the exchange student learns
finnish, but I am not sure about her finnish skills, but I
myself am nowadays even thinking my silent thoughts in
english.

We came here in Greece Athens from Helsinki via
Copenhagen. Our flight number to Athens was 777, like to
heaven.

When we came out of the airport terminal there were warm
cameras for look and take off the passengers who had
fever, because of the fear of pig influenza or nowadays
called influenza virus A. I got a leaflet about the
influenza A, and I thought I had all the other symptoms,
but not fever and my exchange student has flu, but not
fever, because she got cold in Rauhalahti after being
outside in cold rain on Saturday after hours of swimming
in the SpaRauhalahti.

Outside the Athens airport there were limous to take
inside all the stupid tourists, who would pay themselves
sick for a transfer to their hotels. So I am one stupid
tourist that have work one extra night in hospital to get
pack that robery price. But when we arrived to the 5stars
hotel with limo, and not a yellow cab, they asked if we
need a Portier to carry our luggage to our room - We
werent so snob, so we carried our luggage ourselves.

But how can an ordinady poor mum live in a 5star hotel in
Greece Athens in executive rooms and have extra services -
I payd this hotel week by hotelgiftpoints I had earned by
buying all my big familys food, clothes, electric
equipments etc. from market with a credit card to earn
the hotelgiftpoints - so my education in the mercancy
school wasnt in vain.

On Tuesday we walked to see the historical places of
Athens. It costed me over 10 euros, but with student card it
was free for my both girls.We saw the Stadium and the
temple of Olympian Zeus. It was strange to be and walk
there where people have lived over 500 years before Jeesus
Kristus.

We even walked to Acropolis. On my way to Acropolis I
lighted a candle for You in a little church of
Methamorphosis. So same as I had before lighted a candle
for You in Saint Marcus Cathedral in Venice Italy in the
beginning of March and I lighted also a candle for You in
Saint Pietari Cathedral in Wien Austria in Easter. So I
have prayed for You now three times outside Finland.

In the evening when it became dark we wanted a taxi to
take us to the highest point of Athens to see the view
from the Saint George Church, but the taxi driver didnt
know where the place was, to me it was like the same I say
to the taxi in Finland Kuopio to take me to the
Puijo-tower and he dont know where it is. Fortunately we
had the tourist map with us to show him where we wanted to
go. The local name to the place is Lycabethus. We reached
to top with funicular cable car. From the top we had a
breathtaking view of the city of Athens by night. But my
legs were trumbling and "wisping" near the wall to fall.

When You write here to SS-forum and your writing doesnt go
through to see it and you havent saved what you wrote - yes
it happened to me, but at last when you have written all
over the third time shows all Your three writings...

Our time here in Athens in the Hilton Heaven is
unfortunately running out, I dont want to count the last
hours, but the plane is waiting for land off.

Yesterday evening when my exchange student started to
cough in the executive lounge, I should have said loudly:
oh my dear, do You have got the Influenza A, to get us
three in caranteen for a one week more here in Hilton
Heaven.

I have an advice to You: when You are going holidays
abroad, so try to sleep and relax home before Your
journey, so that You dont have to sleep abroad all the
time You could see views and sites and swim in to pool in
sun and dance till to the sun rice. I worked four nights
in hospital before and had a one night relation meeting in
Rauhalahti Spa, so now a have been too tired to take part
of everything cool.

Now I have a tip to Rauhalahti Spa and to Kunnonpaikka:
they should have a water bicycle in the pool, it is so
cool. I have bicycled here in the inside pool forwards and
backwards and I like it very much, I think it would be a
hit also in Rauhalahti and Kunnonpaikka. Because I cant
swim a lot due to the knots or swelling in my left breast
and armpit(and I even cant do any more the Nordic
Walking=sauvakävely), so the water bicycling is

something for me.

Yours

Silja in Hilton Heaven.
