Evripides

We're in Athens, Evripides Hotel. It's a name of a Greek God. Most hotels are named after Greek Gods.

It's raining today. Biajee dropped off the laundry in the morning. Arnold is playing with me in the lobby where there is WIFI internet. If you have a Dell computer, you can press Ctrl+Alt+down arrow at the same time and get amazing result from the screen. Arnold taught us this today. I cannot wait to get back to the office and do this to all my coworkers. Arnold taught us this today. I learn something from my son every day. Of course, Ctrl+Alt+Leftarrow and Ctrl+Alt+Rightarrow will be very amusing as well, but we favor Ctrl+Alt+downarrow best because it's Arnold's discovery.

We had dinner with the Chinese Consul last night at a very nice Chinese restaurant (大富豪酒店). We're going there every day during our stay here.

The maid didn't clean our room yesterday so we run out of toilet paper. We arrived yesterday morning at 3 am. The plane landed around 2 am. After we picked up the checkin bags and took a taxi to get here, it's 3 o'clock in the morning. Taxi cost 70 euros.

I made a few phone calls from the room yesterday and the bill was 16.5 euros this morning.

We took a day tour in Frankfurt on Saturday. It's horribly expensive. We paid 170 euros for 2 people and they charged us for drinks at lunch: 6.50 euros for a bottle of water and 4.90 euros for a glass of coke. Don't drink if you are with a tour group in Germany. It's the most expensive water I've ever had, even worse than that in Belgium. We don't fancy German people a lot after this tour. Everywhere we go, they try to over charge us and they didn't even take us anywhere. We went on a boat that goes along River Rhine, but I slept on the deck most of the time.

Lufthansa is a good airline. They gave Arnold a baby bassinet to sleep in for the sector from Denver to Frankfurt. Biajee was in heaven. He never knew such things exist before.
