Non furnished means no appliances either...

OH huge unknown problems was once we arrived here we found out that when they say no furniture that also means no appliances - no fridge, no oven, no microwave, no dishwasher, no AC, no wash machine- AND - the places that were shown be a relator - we need to pay them a whole months rent for their services plus first months rent PLUS 2 months rent for deposit.

I fortunately got my second choice - it is right in the main town of Agia Paraskevi - 10 min. walk from school, a bus ride to the metro, 4th floor (elevator), 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, livingroom with fireplace, eating area, large kitchen and 3 balconies! 1050 sq. feet so tons of room for you all to visit. I signed a two year contract. My main landmark for where I need to turn on my street is an Applebees restaurant - to boot!

My classroom is quite small and have large windows facing east again. Hot mornings. Fortunately there is air conditioning. There has been real direction on what I am suppose to do in the classroom or teach. School begins on Sept. 4 and I won't meet my cooperating teacher until Sept. 2 nor will I get my class list. And I used to stress over getting it a week beforehand......

I never need to listen for the weather because it is always the same, sunny, hot, blue sky no clouds! The weather has been between 85-110 degrees since I have been here.

I have successfully mastered "Do you speak English?" in Greek but am learning too.
