Google Weekend.

In this post we summarize properties for sale through all Greece as they are posted in Properties in Greece.

In total there are 203 houses for sale in Greece and we classify them in areas as follows:
From these we might note the following houses, unique offers for our opinion:
  • Traditional House in Zakynthos: A recently posted house in Zakynthos; a typical example of traditional house in Ionian Islands. Beautiful garden in very good location of Zakynthos. It deveserves your attention. More information here: house for sale in Zakynthos
  • Syros is one of the most recommended islands for buying a house at this moment. Syros offers you almost everything in Cyclades: is the capital of Cyclades, easy access from Athens, near to other famous touristic destinations (Mykonos, Santorini, Tinos) and one more thing: it is beautifull! Therefore a house offer like this: Properties in Syros should be penciled.
  • Milos is clever choice for a house in Cyclades. Note that sourcing for a house in Milos is difficult and some times takes time. At the moment this is a house to note from Milos: House for sale in Milos
  • Now something different. Have you thought about Halkidiki? A great offer in Halkidiki is this beatifull house: Property in Halkidiki
  • Another house a typical example of a traditional houses in Greece, this time in Crete: House for sale in Sitia

Google Morning.

Google is an intelligent search engine machine where most of you use for finding even this blog! Most of the times I am sure you type full words for search items; did you ever tried a single letter, instead?

In this post I will post Google's alphabet-apparently Google has fixed these searches:

A- As you might well expected, wikipedia's article about the letter A: wikipedia-A . Interesting to point that for the letter A, the famouse Physics Journal comes as the second listing: Physical Review A
Link: Google A

B- Interesting. The same pattern here. First link is wikipedia's article about letter B: wikipedia-B whereas the second link is about the Physical Review again, but this time its B version: Physical Review B.
Link: Google B

C- Well, you guessed right. Speed of light as the first link. You need to type small c instead of Capital for obtaining the speed of light. The pattern remains the same, next link should be about wikipedia's article for letter C.
Link: Google C

D- D programming language?.....first link: D
Link: Google D

E- The pattern here is destroyed here :) First link a link about celebrities....: Celebrities
Link: Google E

F- I am sure you though something else for a first link! Well, first link is about Ford's Motor Company. Ford dominates also the letter F: Ford in Stock Market
Link: Google F

G- Spot on! Letter G is for google right? gmail the first link. Actually the should have all the first page with google's products...
Link: Google G

Well, I will not continue with all of them, since the game is straightforward. Just try the single letters of the alphabet and see what the machine brings. I continue with the letters that I found more funny or interesting:

Small h, brings max plank's constant: h
I is dominated by apple because of the itunes most likely: i
Small k, science again,Boltzmann's constant:k
L, no suprise, latex is first: l
M, suprise! for a first time a movie is first for a single letter: Movie m , Letter M
W, suprise! one more movie for a letter: Letter W

Lets hope that google will match properties and greece with this: Properties in Greece
or Properties in Mykonos

I will post soon with more google tricks and its interesting phenomena! Stay tuned.

David Bowie

I can not think my summers without listening Bowie's tunes. Undoubtedly one of the most important figures of the music industry. An artist that understood that being a musician does not only mean record sales, but also ART. A word completely missing from the vocabulary of modern artists and musicians. He had and he has an opinion for his work and I really appreciate him. Since we talk about remixes, this is a song by him:



and this is the remix. May I ask you to guess who are they?:)



Anyway, please try to enjoy your time even if you work and listen a lot of music. It helps! And of course do not forget to visit Greece or to look for a house there: Properties in Mykonos, House for sale in Zakynthos, House for sale in Santorini and Properties in Syros.

Take care, next post very soon.

A great website, I am strongly suggesting you to look for the ships travelling in your area:

Live Ships Map

I really appreciate when people are being creative and provide modern and solid solutions. Well done!

By the way, Greek seas it seems to be one of the busiest ones this period. Mykonos, Cyclades in general, Ionian Islands on the map are full with ships of any kind.

Salom!

Good Morning Again!

Today's song comes from a pure artist and strong writer: Leonard Cohen. The song is the Future by Teddy Thompson and his beatiful country-accent.



For your records, check also an old version by Leonard him self.



Just to point some lines from the lyrics:

Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima

You Mr. Leonard Cohen, you know to put words in a line.

Enjoy your living in Greece (and everywhere actually) and if you are looking for a house in Greece, please check these ones out: House for sale in Mykonos, House for sale in Paros and House for sale in Syros.

We will post again!

Greek Food!

Because you might be already in Greece and being curious for trying new tastes, here we are, from now on we start posting recipes and videos about Greek Food.

Undoubtedly pastisio is an excellent summer food! It is actually very similar with Italian Lasagna, but for sure different. You can read a very interesting lemma from Wikipedia: Pastitsio

I will say, that many people cook Pastitsio with a seperate layer of potatoes at the bottom. I prefer it with out potatoes, but is still worth trying!

Now before giving you the link of how Pastitsio is made, here is its photo:



And please watch out this link: Pastitsio Video where a Greek Lady cooks for you this tasty meal. Sorry I could not find any English speaking video about Pastistio.

Pastitsio is definitely one of the Greek foods that you could try at your own house in Greece either in Mykonos, or in Santorini or in Ionian Islands like Lefkada and Ithaca, where they have a long tradition about Greek and Italian food mixes.

next post about Gemista! Sorry Guys, I have started being hungry already :)

ABBA

Well I found always interesting ABBA's performances, but this one with the japanese kimonos far funny:



ABBA is an example of an extremely interesting band, with fair good music and an unbeaten sold records. But apart of their music, ABBA were a unique example of professionalism for the international music scene.

And since we were saying about remixes, this is a new remix of their song:



The comments are yours! The sound quality of the video, is not that great.

Music Remakes

In our last post we were discussing about remakes of old songs; songs difficult to interpret for new audiences.

An excellent, well made and well studied remake of Kemal, a song by Manos Hadjidakis from album Reflections, is the following tune by Raining Pleasure:



Many Congratulations to these young guys, attempting a difficult music piece. With no doubts, a magnificent work! The vocals are pretty good and unique. The music is quite technical as always Manos Hajidakis might wanted.

For your comparison, please have look at the original version of the song here: Kemal by Manos Hadjidakis. . Sorry they have disabled any outside embeding.

Raining Pleasure is a promising, young band from Greece. Some nice tunes that you might be interested in, are: Fake, Dancing Queen (a remake of Abba's song) and Capricorn. The last one is very strong pop, english influenced song. You will find that songs either in youtube or in their website.

I hope that you enjoy summer and you find blog's music posts interesting.

In the meantime if you are looking for a house in Greece, please visit the website: Properties in Greece. But Greece is not only Summer, is also Culture :)

I will post soon with more music lines.
