A Weekend Getaway in Milan

Two weeks ago we took advantage of the low prices for flying tickets to Milan with Ryanair and we made a quick getaway to the Capital of Fashion! ;-)
The photos speak of their own! All I have to say is that I'm IN LOVE with Milan and with Italy in general. I've always loved the language (italian was the only language that I've wanted to learn -and did- besides english), I love italian music (italian songs are my favorite), I love italian food (pizza and carbonara are my all time favorite dishes!), I love their culture and architecture because they are so close to ours (Corfu and all the Ionian Islands in general were under Venetian rule from the mid-14th until the 18th century, so many of our buildings but also words in our dialect are influenced by them). Nevertheless, until now I've never gotten the chance to go anywhere around Italy. Such a shame! Now I'm definitely going to visit Italy again!
Have you ever been anywhere around Italy and where?
Did you like it?
Πριν δύο εβδομάδες εκμεταλλευτήκαμε τα φθηνά εισιτήρια για Μιλάνο με την Ryanair  και κάναμε ένα γρήγορο ταξιδάκι μέχρι την Πρωτεύουσα της Μόδας! ;-)
Οι φωτογραφίες μιλάνε από μόνες τους! Το μόνο που έχω να πω είναι ότι ΕΡΩΤΕΥΤΗΚΑ το Μιλάνο και την Ιταλία γενικότερα. Πάντα μου άρεσε η γλώσσα (τα ιταλικά ήταν η μόνη γλώσσα που ήθελα να μάθω -και έμαθα- εκτός από τα αγγλικά), λατρεύω την ιταλική μουσική (τα ιταλικά τραγούδια είναι τα αγαπημένα μου), λατρεύω την ιταλική κουζίνα (πίτσα και καρμπονάρα είναι τα αγαπημένα μου φαγητά!), λατρεύω την κουλτούρα και την αρχιτεκτονική τους γιατί είναι τόσο κοντά και παρόμοια με την δική μας (η Κέρκυρα και γενικότερα όλα τα Ιόνια Νησιά ήταν κάτω από Ενετική κυριαρχία από τα μέσα του 14ου έως τον 18ο αιώνα, κι έτσι πολλά από τα κτήρια αλλά ακόμη και λέξεις στην τοπική μας διάλεκτο έχουν επιρρεαστεί από αυτούς). Παρόλα αυτά, μέχρι τώρα δεν είχα ποτέ την ευκαιρία να πάω πουθενά στην Ιταλία. Τι κρίμα! Τώρα σίγουρα θα την ξαναεπισκευθώ!


Εσείς έχετε πάει ποτέ στην Ιταλία και πού;
Σας άρεσε;

Oh, Berlin!

Oh, we had so much fun in Berlin! It was wonderful! The weather was OK -it was raining but at least it wasn't snowing and the cold was bearable. We wandered around a lot, went to cute little cafes and bars (I'll post about them), ate WAY TO MANY wurst aka sausages, drank a lot of beer and laughed out loud A LOT! We are Greeks, we are loud! hahahaha

Vido Summer Camp




Yesterday I got some really good news! They've asked me again to participate to the Program of  Productive Creativity for children aged 6-11 years old, that is organized by the Municipality of Corfu on the island of Vido.
 This time it'll be a one month program, from Monday to Friday,
8:00-14:30 pm that will include the following:
>taking the children by boat across to the island
>taking breakfast at the camp
>organizing team games
>going to the beach
>taking lunch at the camp
>organizing a little craft workshop
>returning to Corfu by boat
It'll be my second year there. Last year we had so much fun, even though everything was new and we all were in a stage of experimenting we have managed to collaborate perfectly and the result was AMAZING!
I can't wait to start on Monday and be around those little happy faces again. We're going to have so much fun!
Under these circumstances of course the schedule of my blogging
will change a bit, but don't worry, I'll be around. 
Have A Great Summer
& Happy July
I forgot to mention that.
