A not so jolly Emma...=(

Well..can you blame me? Got up for work at 6.30, so I could go for my run and have brekkie and be done by nine...had a swedish welcome meeting at 10...well, was supposed to, think anyone picked me up?!NO!!! Got a phonecall at 10.30..ey, where are u?..oh, so no one picked you up then, well you can have the day off then..WTF?! I need money, I didnt come here to sit on my arse all day n smoke like they do... Doesnt really help with my mood that they seem to think that i'm a complete retard..yesterday one of them actually took the snorkel out of my hand to show me how to attach it to the mask...thanks I really didnt know how to...they also printed a 4 page long, word by word, dsd briefing..
So, having a day off all of a sudden i decided to take my book and go to the park since it was such a lovely day...bad decision...sat down in the shade and to read my book...4min later an other fat old greek perv came and sat nxt to me..i kept reading my book, and what i thought was -showing him that i was NOT interessed in a conversation but he just wouldnt shut up, would he!..and then he took my hand..hm..and wouldnt let go...great..!why...WHY do they insist on touching!!!there should be NO TOUCHING!!!!Im swedish for heavens sake, we dont touch!!!!ahhhhhh and then saying good bye he grabbed my hand AND arm and almost my boob...oh man was I pissed off!?!?! still am BTW!

From now on there will be no more polite Emma, fuck that!Greek ppl can be very rude but, I can be just as bad if I put some effort in..learned a very useful greek word and a nice sign in case the international finger doesnt do the trick...

Ah well, atleast we had a great day on sunday driving up to Knossos and stopping at a lovely beach for lunch...some breathtaking views on the way there, and having ABBA pumping out of the car stereo just topped it off..hahaha..I know that would make Mark very jealous and make him wish he would have been there...

Judith had her b-day on sat so went to a fantastic restaurant and had some great food and wine...and that damn raki..hehe Matt made all off us look fairly sober tho as he drank half a litre of the Raki himself and then skipped all the way home, adjusting every singel side mirror on the cars we passed..best thing - Judith got it all on video...moahahah =)

Delayed jetlag...or maybe i'm just developing narcolepsy..

Didn't even know jetlag could sneak up on you when you least expect it, say 3weeks after your flight, but here I am, a living proof. Was fine with the time changes up until the end of last week and it has just been downhill from there! Every afternoon round 3 (23.00 Cairns time that is) I get extremely tired and before I know it I'm drifting off to the warm and fluffy land of dreams, happy days...next thing I wake up and -damm it! its 8 o'clock!..so I won't be able to get any sleep that nite...see, vicious circle...Thing is but, that it actually seems to get worse...thougth jetlag was supposed to work the other way around?!

I am happy to report that no more greek men (or men of other nationalities)has tried to lick my face. Greg has kindly offered to find the face licker and lick his face back...and what might be a bit more useful, teach me how to tell greek boys to fuck off in greek (incl handgestures)..oh yes, very exciting.
See, Greek men likes to hang their head out the car windows (yes, just like dogs, toungs out and all)beep the horn and shout some charming, greek words at you, specially if you're blessed (or cursed!!!) with blond hair. Not quite sure what they're trying to accomplish by it, but when my greek gets better, I'll ask them...=)

Had a lovely day at work, talked for 5 min at the swedish welcome meeting and then I...no, thats all we did all day actually, rest of the day we sat in the sun eating cheap as gyros and driving around in the little red car...
Judiths the only one who has the balls to drive down here, and I always feel greatfull to be alive everytime I get out off that little red death trap...Now don't get me wrong, she's doing an awesome job driving, is the rest of the ppl on these roads I'm worried about! Seems everybody here are suffering from severe roadrage and the need off being first, infront off everbody...that's just a fact.

Sunday we're all going to Knossos, and as the history-nerd that I am, IM SOOO EXCITED!!!=)

Sex, Drugs and...scuba diving

..the sweet life of a dive instructor...yeah right!

I'll tell ya what, the water is friggin cold (17 degrees) and there really isn't that much too see, I've given my liver the summer off so no jägerbombs for me and the greeks are just sooo....greek..!

See, I was walking down the street the other day, minding my own buisness, enjoying a bit of evening sun when out of nowwhere this old greek perve stops me and tries to lick my face..WTF?!?!

Other than that, life IS sweet! I finally have my own place,the sun is shining and let's face it I'm on a Greek island diving for a living - things could be worse!
