Moving to Thessaloniki, Greece

I am moving to Thessaloniki, Greece, where I will continue my study of Network and e-Business Centred Erasmus Mundus programme in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I am currently at Gatwick Airport still waiting for my flight. Earlier tonight I managed to pack my things eventhough I was not sure I could do it. At the airport I found out that I have 30kg of checked luggage and fortunately the British Airways limit is still on 32kg for checked luggage. Thank you for a certain someone that accompanied me through my packing process.

Moving is usually something that I am reluctant to do, but for this programme I should move often and quickly. I will certainly miss Q Unit people (the ones that are not in my class, and they include you too, Katiuscia), KampoengReading, and Reading itself. Hopefully I will return.

On a sidenote, I broke my glasses while sleeping in Gatwick Airport. I brought spare glasses but I think I should find the replacement in Greece, soon.

That’s it for now, I am signing off, see you in GMT+2 time zone.
