Work and travel in Greece?
Has anyone (especially students) went to a work and travel program in Greece? What was your experience like? Both positive and negative. Any program recommendations? Did you encounter any trouble if so what? Any little detail will help me. Thank you!

I do not fill your qualifications as I go to Greece to work for a British University May and June, not as a student. You should have no difficulties other than the expected culture shock. Most Greeks speak English and the country is generally tourist friendly. Even if you work you will be lumped into the " foreigner" group but not to worry.

Sure the government or whoever made that... Hella sure they'll get a heLL lot of portest... ooppss. Hope not here in the RP..

It's still early to say if it's working or not. Generally yes, but only because they can sit at the outside area in cafeterias for example, so they don't mind that much yet. The real problem will happen in the winter i suppose. In my town, the only time i heard about health inspectors -or whoever the government has sent for that job- was on the first week of the ban. I don't know what happens in Athens. The ban in Greece is everywhere, except streets and your house lol. Greeks, even smokers like myself, believe that the ban should happen, although there are many issues that the gov. didn't seem to consider (e.g. at shops under 75-80 sq m the smoking ban is general, but most of the shops in Greece, are small anyway, especially at the rural areas,so there is no space for smokers at all) Wait 'till winter and ask again.

I didn't know they had a smoking ban in greece,i have recently been to crete and people smoke everywhere,in the restaurants,airport,bars.There isn't a smoking ban in crete.

Even though the ban seems to be successful in workplaces (for NOW), I still can't find a non-smoking taverna, cafe or bar, because most of them fall into that 70 m2 category. They even let people smoke in bus or train station's cafes, and I don't think that should be allowed under the new law. However, it's a beginning, let's just hope it will remain that way. Banning smoking in Greece is almost an impossible task and this is already a great achievement, considering the fact that Greeks are used to smoking literally EVERYWHERE. I hope it will be enforced all the way, and not just for a few weeks or months.

Yes. Michael, what you describe is illegal, and you should call 1142 and report it.

Job searching can be a hard job in itself, especially if you're not used to it. I was making heavy weather of with my job searching recently until I unearthed the site in the box below resource which has some really awesome tips and tricks for job hunters. After doing as they advised for a couple of weeks I secured myself a really awesome job.

Dubai is a fast growing city. Thousands of people migrate to Dubai every month in pursuit of a better life and career opportunities. In a recent survey Dubai was ranked 2nd most favorite place to live and work. And no wonder, since Dubai offers the best of everything, and it’s getting better everyday. In two to three years when the major projects in Dubai are completed it will be a great place to live.

Yes, they will, you will however need a plug adaptor as UK plugs are a different shape to mainland Europe ones. Most good travel stores and electric stores will sell them, Dixons, Currys, Homebase, HMV, etc...
