Speaker Idol - 2

Category:Bil@l @ 15:16

I had a great presentation as the jury said, but I was the second ... Which means, I didn't make it to the finals. Hopefully next year, I will make it!! As a first experience, it was OK.

Staying in Athens

Category:Bil@l @ 09:34

I have arrived to Athens last Tuesday after having attended the MVP Regional Summit for MEA in Egypt and staying for the next 12 days.

What a lovely city to be in!! This is my third trip to Athens and yesterday I took a small walk under the tiny rain, watching the houses, how nice they are, how organized, how clean the streets are, .....

 

A lovely place to live in ...

Regards
