Unexpected Trip, unexpected kind of fun

Does it ever happen to you that some friend of yours find out some special offer to go on a trip abroad in the last minute and you have decided to take up the opportunity in the very last minute?


Yes it happens to me about 3 weeks ago when a friend ask me to go on a short cruise trip to the Greek Island of Rhodes. We left Cyprus at around lunch time on Friday. We took the cruise ship Salamis Glory and it set sail to Rhodes.


It wasn't my first time to Rhodes, but it was still great fun. I remembered when the vessel left Lemesos port I was imagining that all my colleagues at work are still slaving away at work, while I am having a lovely cold beer!

We arrived at Rhodes at around lunch time on Saturday, the weather was hot and we spent the entire day site seeing in the Old town Rhodes. It was definitely good to be away for the weekend.

Sunday arrived very quickly and we have to headed back to Cyprus. On the hold it was a very nice trip.

TV talk show in Cyprus

Let me tell you something about my secret Friday life: Sometime I come home early, sit next to my wife and watch day time talk show.

The fact that I watch TV talk show you may categorised me as a sad person... the fact that the talk show is in Greek and I don't actually understand Greek at all, may even make me a very sad person. When I find out what the topic of talk show , I realise I am actually not as sad as those people who actually understand Greek and watch the show.

On that Friday the grand topic of the debate was "Is it okay to sleep with your boss to get a promotion/ move up the corporate ladder ? "

I didn't ask my wife into details of what lines of argument have been discussed in the talk show, I can't really see any real valid line of argument anyway. The only thing I realise is that one of the female talk show guest was defending her line of argument and justifying it is okay.

I personally is a little bit short of ideas in relation to justifying the for side. May be if someone is working in the sex/adult entertainment industry, his/her boss may need to give a promotion assessment.

Anyway last Friday I start watching my James Bond DVD collection for the nth time instead.
