City of ancient GOD

So what the hell Hin Fei was doing recently???

One week ago, I just finished my first ever paper in Finland at the end of October . Although it was just one subject but I still paid a lot of effort to it, so think I still can manage to pass this subject without much worry. Once I had done the exam, I rushed to the computer room and printed out all the information about Athens, Greece. Why? because I am going there next morning...wow...my first little trip. T_T (at last)

In the night, my 2 China friends and I went to Helsinki, Finland airport and stayed for one night, waiting anticipatedly, at least I am...After taking 8 hours air time included transfering and waiting, me finally get to Athens, Greece. Once we set our foot into the airport...hmm...not so good impression...it look more lousy than Malaysia airport - everything look old, can't find information center and even the luggage trolleys that suppose to be free also need to pay Euro 2. @_@

The temperature here was around 25 degree celsius, oh it made me missed my Malaysia damn much. I knew Finland will be around 4-5 degree celsius when I go back, almost going to snow... Along the way to Athens, buildings and streets look quite obsolete. I don't even have mood to take any photos of it...haha...It is a rather poor country compare with other Europe places.... After we reached the city, we started to find our hostel we booked while wandering around. It was around 5pm after we settled down in our hostel. Not much things we can do....so wandering the streets beside the hostel again...Didn't feel any excitement yet, hope tomorrow will be better...

Day 1 - Acropolis
Our schedule today was going to visit those ancient rocks left 5000 years ago...Hmm worth take a look...Those ancient rocks and buildings are scattered around a tiny mountain and itself which they called Acropolis.
This is the mountain I mentioned

Since that mountain is so damn obvious, we even can see it from our hostel, so we just walked there without using my black and white google-earth-printed map.

Oh...first 'rock' spotted...This place called Agora something...(can't remember)

Of course must take a picture...

Start to feel the excitement yeah...After 3 hours, we....

Along the way to the mountain...nice weather...

After spending so many energy and time to come here, nice weather + nice scenery that can only see from book, of course need to take many many pictures to compensate...

My friends and me! Feel like the scene is better without me...haha

I spent 5 hours to find out all the scattered spots in Athens. Walked until tired and hungry...So lets called it a day with my dinner...

Me look so thin gam ge....

Day 2 - Delphi
After spending 3.5 hours to come to this place...we went to see rocks again?! I also don't know why I suddenly like 'rocks' so much...This time they are placed at the mountain in a rural area...

Day 3 - Budge seaside picnic
Today we just don't want to be so rush...We want to have more relax schedule...so we choose to go to the port in Athens...so...

We buy fruits and food from this market just outside our hostel
After 1 hour mrt-ing...seaside spotted!!! However we still have many time...so we walked...
After tired of walking, we are finding place to rest....and we saw this church...
Sneak behind this church and ate our fruits...

We stayed there and talked cock till all the people around us was gone...Think we should go back now...haha...That's the end of my 4 days 3 nights trip...

I know this time...this moment everyone is mugging like what I always did in every semester...
This time...this semester...I can't physically join this battle with you all but please remember you will always have my mental support...Lets show them something!!!Gogogo....
