My Week In Athens… Feb 21
With this week’s grey skies, rainy days and cold nights – and let’s not even mention crisis – I think I can speak on behalf of many of us when I say that last weekend’s party at the GB was just what the doctor ordered. A few hours of welcome escape from the winter rut…

This ‘Night to Remember’, which has become a highlight annual event for the expat community, went off in great style. A beautiful venue, yummy buffet and great music (ok, sure, and the open bar…) made for an evening of fun! I actually had a really good time, met some new people and, with a room full of people dancing and ‘whooping’ in a conga line, I couldn’t help but forget my day-to-day and really smile in the moment.

But I remain eternally awestruck at how many people know all the words to ‘It’s Raining Men’. And all the moves to match ;) Must check YouTube…

Also great to see our friends from the Greek-Irish Society out in full force!

Smile in the moment – must remember to do this more often…

Check out some pics from the night HERE!

Until next week,

Jack
