If you could just pack up and move to a new place where would that be and where are u now?
I am living in Athens Greece and work for with on-line hotel reservation systems. If I could pack up and move it would be to Vermont. I would buy a horse ranch and live there permemntly. I picture myself going out on the porch early in the morning with a mug of coffee and listening to the wind blow through the trees. Paradise.

im in a small retirement town in Oregon and i would love to go to a big city like Seattle or L.A. i would rent an apartment, get a job, make new friends and enjoy big city life. that would be my paradise.

I'd be in L.A., Cali or New York City, New York. I live in Las Vegas.

I'd happily switch places with you. I'm in VT. Horse farms smell and draw in loads of flies, especially my neighbors! And would love to be somewhere on the water with salt air breezes!

i live in louisiana, but if i could pack up and leave right now, it would have to be somewhere near a beautiful beach. and i have always wanted to go to italy, i think if i went there i probably wouldn't want to leave. or on some little island far away where you could wake up to the sound of the ocean crashing. but not a real populated beach, some where secluded, and quiet.

English is pretty much a world wide language. No matter where you are at, they know at least a bit of english. In a way, it is part of life, so living else where would okay, but you can also look at this in a give or take situation. Since they know a little of english maybe you should take some time and learn their language, even if its only a little bit. In that way, you can relate to them; they arent fluent in english and you arent fluent in the language that they speak. There are other options. For example, you can live with a roommate or friend that is bilingual in english and the language of a country you want to live in. That way, it would be easier with the help of that friend or roommate.

Yes, both, in my cuntry though not meny peoples speak inglish.

Yes definitely.. English is known everywhere.

In Greece, English is like a second language to most of the Greeks, everybody learns it at school, at private tutoring school and speaks almost great English. In Italy most people don't know English and the people who speak a little bit won't speak in front of you. I was in Italy, asked for a bottle of water and they answered in italian saying: gazatto ou minerale?. I hated that.
5 :
You could learn the local language enough to be able to talk to the locals, you know. It's not hard.
6 :
If you plan to work in either Greece or Italy you need a working knowledge of the local language. Not practical otherwise. Now if you're planning your retirement that's a different matter. There are ex-pats retired all over Europe. If Greece is a serious possibility then add Cyprus to your list as here almost everybody speaks English. (Okay the Bulgarian waiter might be a bit weak) but that's about it. Forget Paris. Even if the French can speak English they have yet to forgive us for Agincourt. Ian

if you live in a large city in greece, most people will speak english... only exception really might be old people i would at least try to learn a little greek before you get there so while youre there you can keep building on to what you already know and in no time you will become fluent ;) livemocha.com is a great free website to learn greek and other languages

The Italian education system is not adequate when it comes to teaching English. That's what I've read, anyway. It seems like not enough Italians speak English well enough to help you (when you need help, and inevitably you will). You would have to learn Italian. I don't know about Greece.
15 :
Depends on where you'll be living and what your occupation is.. I'd say you can only live to Athens but it will be hard for you to adapt as many merchants do not speak english (Note: Hard is not impossible). And I would be interested to learn what your job is because if you are a Merchant or want to open any kind of store/company here you'll definitely have to hire someone to work with you (as a translator or just be the sales man). But other than that you'll be fine to stay here as all the *good* restaurants have Perfect-English speaking staff and most clubs too..

How has Plato's and Socrates' work survived over 2000 years
How has Plato's and Socrates' work survived over 2000 years?
They lived in ancient Greece and it wasn't exactly religious work they were doing. I can understand something like the Bible and Koran surviving 2000 years. But the work of a few philosophers standing the test of time and still receiving credit for their work today, boggles my mind! My guess is that the Persians preserved the work and it eventually made its way to European institutions during the 1600's. But this is merely speculation on my part.

What you must remember is that a) the language of educated people in the Roman empire was Greek and thus among well-educated Romans knowledge of and respect for Greek learning was prevalent. and b) the Eastern Roman Empire survived as the Greek-speaking Byzantine Empire right down to the mid-15th century, by which time the recovery of learning in Western Europe was well underway.
2 :
Through manuscripts that were handed from scholars to scholars, in the Hellenistic times, then in the Roman times, then in the Byzantine times, then during the Middle Ages. However copyists who copied the manuscripts for more readers made errors while copying and that is why a manuscript differs from another. It gives scholars a lot of work figuring out what is the best manuscripts. It is their job after all!

A lot of classical philosophy was preserved by the Muslim world during the middle ages. Most of the works by Aristotle, for example, were lost to the West until about the 11th century; and first came to us through the Jewish/spanish philosopher, Averoes, which was further interpreted by Thomas Aquinas. Much of Plato's works were also lost, to the West, in the Middle Ages. During this time, westerners relied on a summary of Platonic thought, a work called 'The Consolation of Philosophy.' (It's under two hundred pages), by the 6th century Italian philosopher, Boethius.

Are people (non-EU citizen) DEPORTED FROM GREECE still allowed entry to CANADA
Are people (non-EU citizen) DEPORTED FROM GREECE still allowed entry to CANADA?
I am a Philippine citizen who works illegally in Greece for almost 3 years now and wants to go home soon. I run the risk of being stamped DEPORTED on my passport for overstaying my visa, although I am executing a VOLUNTARY EXIT. Worst case scenario, I got my passport stamped "deported", will it jeopardize my application for work permit to Canada? I am exiting Greece because I have found an employer in Canada and have started processing for work permit application for me. Will the Canadian Embassy in the Philippines outrighly deny my visa application because of this? Some people advised I change my passport with "deported" stamp soon as I get home. If so, will the Canadian Embassy have a way of finding out?

What would be a good ancient greece research paper topic?
I have to do a research paper, and it has to be around 7 pages in length. I want it involving Ancient Greece or something like that. Rome could work also. But however, he said he wants the paper to have a controversial issue or something like that in it. I have it down to, something dealing with either alexander the great, the fall of rome, or something else. Does anyone have any good ideas of a type of paper i can write based on those topics? and to make sure it has a controversy surrounding it? thanks a ton if you can help.

It will depend on the topic that would interest you the most. It is also wide historical area spanning over millennium, so there is rich material to be covered. If you like history, you can describe the rise, peak,and decline of the Greek and Roman civilization. If you are purely interested in conquest and military history, you can write about expansion of the Roman Empire and how the treated the defeated nations. If you like art, you can research roman and greek architecture, sculpture, painting, mosaics, and buildings. If you looking for specific hard to find facts, like Romans in Ireland and Scotland, Justa Grata Honoria desire to merry Attila the Hun in exchange for having her freed from monastery, or life of numerous saints, like Augustus, Basil, or Jerome. You can also concentrate on well know fact as the love story of the Cleopatra, the life of Nero, Caracalla, and Constantine. Another interesting topic now mentioned often is decline and final defeat of Sparta, or war between Greece and Carthage over Sicily that eventually brought Rome for the first time with the conflict with this ancient power.
2 :
Rather than making it about a single person, how about the advantages and disadvantages of Greek democracy. Many people think that true democracy (rule by the people) is a good thing, but when everyone gets to vote on every issue, rather than having representatives of the people vote for them, strange things happen. For example, if 51% of the population of the United States thought that slavery was a good idea, the 14% of Americans that are African-Americans would be in a very bad situation because of majority rule. The laws of Greece were established by majority rule (male, land-owners, citizens). the evolution of representative government later in Greece and Rome set the pattern that would allow the United States to come into existence as a republican form of government. Without Greece or Rome there might not be the US. Just a suggestion that your teacher will eat up. Trust me on this!

Greece was shaken by a massive 24 hour general strike. In some sectors there was a total walk out, and in industry as a whole 70% of the workers came out. This is the answer of the Greek working class to the government’s severe austerity measures The crisis of Greek capitalism is clear for all to see. The bosses want draconian economic policies to be implemented, but the workers have already given more than they can afford to give. Bosses and workers are on a collision course as the call for a 24-hour general strike on February 24 clearly demonstrates Right now I would say not very well.

Lets see. The Per Person income in Greece is: $30,661. The Per Person income in the US is: $46,443. Wow good point.... That is until you consider. That the U.S. has the 6th highest per person income. Norway haveing $53,269 per person at 3rd highest. [A county that is far more socialist then Greece] With Luxembourg above them at 78k [Also a "socialist nation] With Qatar above them at 87k [Not a socialist nation] As a matter of fact out of the two 20 nations. 6 of them are what you would call non socialist nations. So really the socialist bit has nothing to do with your wealth. Just your standard of living, witch the US is at 37th on the list. Behind EVERY other industrial nation with the exception of India and China.

you're as safe as most places. Be aware that foreigners can have a bad reputation in parts of Greece; if you are seen drunk with your neckline and hemline too close you could well get into trouble, same as anywhere. apart from that, don't flush the toilet paper, use the bin. And try to learn some Greek.
2 :
Here are some general 'street smart' kinds of things you should do while travelling. 1. Walk like you know where you're going. If you have to stop for directions or consult a map, try to duck into a store to do it. 2. NEVER accept an open drink from anyone. Ever. (Except a bartender/waiter who gives it to you directly.) Keep an eye on your drinks. 3. Carry money and valuables on your front. Don't carry them in a bag hanging on your back or in back pockets. Always keep your valuables in front of you. 4. Don't go anywhere alone with someone you don't know. It's fine to meet people somewhere public.

you're as safe as most places. Be aware that foreigners can have a bad reputation in parts of Greece; if you are seen drunk with your neckline and hemline too close you could well get into trouble, same as anywhere. apart from that, don't flush the toilet paper, use the bin. And try to learn some Greek.

Here are some general 'street smart' kinds of things you should do while travelling. 1. Walk like you know where you're going. If you have to stop for directions or consult a map, try to duck into a store to do it. 2. NEVER accept an open drink from anyone. Ever. (Except a bartender/waiter who gives it to you directly.) Keep an eye on your drinks. 3. Carry money and valuables on your front. Don't carry them in a bag hanging on your back or in back pockets. Always keep your valuables in front of you. 4. Don't go anywhere alone with someone you don't know. It's fine to meet people somewhere public. But getting into a car with a stranger, walking down empty side streets, and that kind of thing ... it's asking for trouble. 5.

Nope, How will you be able to diagnose problems offsite if the network is down? lol think about it.
2 :
Not really - you tend to need to be on site in order to fix things when there are (a) physical problems or (b) the Internet connection goes down
3 :
Interesting answers from Peter & David there... Well done guys.. Done much remote support? I'm going to go ahead and assume that when you say 'Work from Home' you mean that you're going to dial-in when you can and attend site when you need to... I used to do this for a year or so AT&T and about 3 years for EDS in the UK - It's effectively how all of the companies who manage other peoples networks for them work... You work in one place, backdoored into the customers network and fix problems on the fly... When the main external link goes down, you either get a site contact to do some firstline checks on, or reboot, the router... If that doesn't fix it you liase with the service provider whilst you're getting in the car and driving to site... Plus there should always be a backup ADSL or at least ISDN line to get in under just these cicumstances... Of course, it also depends on what you mean by Network Admin - I've seen jobs with this kind of description that ended up being Active Directory / Exchange admionistrators.. These can both definately be done remotely.. But then I've also seen them where it means a guy that goes around offices patching people in (this you can't really do remotely).. Good luck

In most, if not all, police agencies in the US, you must first be a police officer before becoming an investigator. My agency requires that you be a patrol officer for at least two years before you can apply for transfer to a specialized unit such as investigations, K-9, etc. And in order to be a police officer in the US, you must first be a citizen. If you're from Greece, you would need to apply for US citizenship, then you may apply to be a police officer. Studying criminal justice certainly helps, but it's not the only requirement.

Is there work in Athens if you don't speak Greek
Is there work in Athens if you don't speak Greek?
I'm moving out to live in Athens with my partner (who is greek) in January next year and Will need to look for a Job. I'm a Cardiac nurse working in the UK at present and hopefully will be learning Greek once I move. I tired to contact the embassy in Greece regarding work but I did not find it very useful. Right now I know a little Greek, but no where enough to even try for Greek speaking job. Does anyone know what type of work (if any) that I might be able to get in Athens that requires English only? Maybe private nursing jobs, ex- pat hospitals? I really don't Even know where to start looking for such jobs. I've been told you can get greek news papers in English but I've not seen any in the local shops in Athens. Is there anyone who has similar experience or any idea where I start?

As for the newspaper in English, there's the Athens Plus, which is a weekly in English. Kathimerini also publishes an English language edition. Generally, however, you won't find many English-only jobs advertised in newspapers here, and the ones you will find usually aren't ones you want to have (or are ones you want to avoid - employers looking to take advantage of the poor, naive immigrants). Yes, there are some private nursing jobs to be had from time to time, as a vacancy arises. What I'd suggest doing is searching around for the various ex-pat websites (there are several, e.g., http://www.xpatathens.com/ ) and posting on the forums asking about private doctors for ex-pats. I'm sure you'll be able to get some contact info that way. From there I'd go in and speak to the doctors. You might find one who has an opening, or at least one who can point you in the right direction. As for non-nursing jobs, you can probably find work teaching English in a language school, or working at an Irish pub (there are four or five of them spread out through Athens). These two options - teacher and barwoman/waitress - are really horrible jobs, with crappy work conditions and even crappier pay. But some work is better than no work, right? You might also find work as a secretary or administrative clerk in an international company. In this case the conditions and pay will vary from company to company and position to position. Such jobs do pop up from time to time, just you have to constantly keep an eye out for them and not lose a single second in arranging an interview, as these jobs too are quite competitive. I'd say this will probably be your best bet if you can't get a nursing-related job. In sum, there are very, very few English-only jobs going around, and when coupled with a large English-speaking population (both native speakers and speakers of English as a foreign language) this makes landing such a job difficult at best, and nearly impossible at worst. That being said, it isn't totally impossible, it just takes time and determination. I'd recommend learning Greek a.s.a.p.
2 :
Since you are a qualified nurse, I'd start from searching sth. in that field. You could for example work in a private clinic, doctors definitely speak english, if you don't have direct contact with clients (who also speak english but would expect you to speak greek) you can work in a clinic, if you can find one who needs you. In addition, you can definitely work as an "exclusive" nurse (called apoklistiki in Greek). That is a tiring job, nurses who get paid extra to go into hospitals -private or public- hired by patients who are in bad condition or recovering, and take care of them during the night usually, but in daytime too. That means you are there tomake sure they are OK, give their meds., help them wash themselves or go to the toilet, and this kind of things. They get paid well. Many foreigners do that, and in fact they are sometimes from Eastern Europe so they don't speak neither Greek nor English sometimes. Once you get here you should get connected to some hospital nurses so that they can give your phone for such cases, or hand out cards in hospitals or clinics. Also, you can do babysitting in the day speaking english to the child, many parents want that. I am sure they'd be happy with a nurse taking care of their child, just remember you'd not get a lot of money. Put ads in local shops and look at newspapers. It is easy to learn how to read the ads in Greek, it's not like you'll be reading a novel! My friend who was looking for a flat learned how to understand the relevant ads in Greek very soon.

How much does it cost to call the US from Greece
How much does it cost to call the US from Greece?
I am staying in Crete, Greece in Hania for a while for work, and I have an OTE phone line at my house. I have been calling friends and family back in the US and was wondering what the rates are for the calls. I have searched everywhere on the net and can't find it. I was just curious so that I wouldn't get a terrible shock when I get my bill. Ballpark figures would be cool as well, just so I would have an idea.

Ouch...probably won't be cheap. I would suggest you get Skype. You can download it to your computer, and they now have a program where you can get unlimited calling to the US for 7€/month! You use your computer and not your phone, and I can promise you it's going to be a lot cheaper.
2 :
It's very very expensive. Fortunately, there are more telephone companies now in Greece and you can buy subscription and call for much less. My mom has a different company so calls to me in USA are affordable (yet she still hesitates to call me,unsure if it's true,after all the years of inflated OTE prices) My sister has free calls to USA via her cell!!!! I can check w her and let you know
3 :
Call OTE at the 134 phone number and ask about some of their specials on international calls. They do have some good packages such as the OTEPILOGES International. Up to 50% lower charges from 1 to 3 countries of your choice http://english.oteshop.gr/page_content.asp?wid=47&hop=h You can place an order online even if you wish. In the past I have also used the services from Cosmoline http://www.cosmoline.com/en/? ..and noticed a 30% reduction on phone call charges to the USA. Alternatively use Skype (http://www.skype.com). Free software to download on your system (for both Windoz and Linux) and call charges are minimal (occasionaly so is the quality of the call though...) (Oh my! I sound like a salesman for these companies!!!)
4 :
Get an OTE card, most peripteros have them, not the one you insert in the pay phones but the long distance one. They had one called "Smile" a couple of years ago. IT IS VERY CHEAP LIKE 5 CENTS A MINUTE. What you need to do from any phone is call a number and then put in the pin on the card. You can call any part of the world and the US is very cheap. Skype is another solution but it confines you to a computer.

Traveling from Athens Greece to Thessaloniki
Traveling from Athens Greece to Thessaloniki?
I am trying to suprise my family by flying down to Greece. I work for an airline so for a good price I can fly from las vegas to Athens Greece. I need to get from Athens to Thessaloniki. Probably the airport in Thessaloniki will do. Can I lpease get some suggestions on what the cheapest way to get there is. By plane is almost 200 one way. Is there a train from airport to airport ? Or a ferry? And if so where to find the information to buy tickets and how much thecost is. I appreciate the help in advance! I guess I should add that my greek is good but im having trouble reading the websites. The carpool.gr sounds like a good option, but I cant find the english option (if it has one) Also I guess along with finding the cheapest method, I also need to make sure that the method I chose is close to the athens airport. So is there a train station near by? and if not how far? thanks for all the answers! Im trying my best to figure this out!

The cheapest way is by coach from Kiffisou Bus station

Cheapest way (and the most cool due to the weather) is to take the night train from Larissis station. You can book a bed too! Is train 504 leaves at 22:55 every night arrives at Thessaloniki at 05:40 in the morning costs about 40 euro either way. On the other hand you have intercity trains from the same station to Thessaloniki 2 of them express at 07:54 and 20:39 duration about 4:10 hrs and at a cost of again 40 euros either way. Enjoy Thessaloniki!
3 :
Here are your options: 1. post a request on carpooling.gr to catch a ride from athens-thes on your requested date (approximate cost 20 euros) 2. take a train from ath-thes. The train company is www.ose.gr. 2a.There is a fast train called intercity (cost is about 60 euros for a 2 way ticket and trip lasts about 5 hours). 2b. There is a regular train (cost is about 30 euros for a 2 way ticket and trip lasts about 6 hours). 3. take a bus from ath-thes. The bus company is called KTEL. The trip lasts 6 hours and the cost is about 50 euros. Let me know if u need anything else!
4 :
Take the train because you will go through some of the mountains. It does not go from airport to airport. When you get off the plane in Athens, take a cab to the train station. It will take you to Thessaloniki and then take a cab from there to downtown. Find a hotel and stay there. Go to the beach and go see the White Tower. Depending where your are going to stay, you maybe able to walk to these places! Hope this helps!

On the other hand you have intercity trains from the same station to Thessaloniki 2 of them express at 07:54 and 20:39 duration about 4:10 hrs and at a cost of again 40 euros either way. Enjoy Thessaloniki!

Take the train because you will go through some of the mountains. It does not go from airport to airport. When you get off the plane in Athens, take a cab to the train station. It will take you to Thessaloniki and then take a cab from there to downtown. Find a hotel and stay there. Go to the beach and go see the White Tower. Depending where your are going to stay, you maybe able to walk to these places! Hope this helps!
