CHRISTMAS TIME<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Time\ngoes by as usual quickly, and even more so when one returns home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent\nChristmas in different places. I started in Spain, checking that everything was\njust as I left it, enjoying the warmth of my family and friends, and sharing\nwith them many of the experiences that Greece is giving me. The holidays\ncontinued with the company of one of my Spanish friends in Sofia, the Bulgarian\ncapital, where we enjoyed many activities including a super interesting free\ntour, as well as the snow. We returned together to Thessalonica to celebrate\nthe end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

On December 31st, we prepared at home an\ninternational dinner with typical dishes from different countries sharing\ntraditions in a lovely day and saying goodbye to 2019 in Aristotle Square with\nlive music and a countdown marked by fireworks that illuminated the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ncompany of my friend these days made me realize that I had really accomplished\na lot in three months. I knew perfectly the most important monuments and places\nof the city, as well as details of\nthe history. I had also\nsignificantly improved my level of English, even if the situation required it,\nI could hold some very basic conversation in Greek. Besides that, I have a\nsocial network that allows me to feel comfortable in different environments.\n\nThe location of Greece makes it comfortable and\neasy to travel to different countries, so we\nalso visited the city of Ohrid in North Macedonia. And I can say, it was love at first sight.\n\n\n\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
