I am siting in the airport of Rhodes. Come OOOONNNN!!! I am leaving now after i spent whole summer here... What about my feelings ? Of course i am sad, i already started to miss this place, but home is home, it's always s the best place to stay in.
I am sure, i will come back here again. By the way, to meet this nice people would not be a problem - the Earth is not so huge, and it's round, so... walking long way we can see each other again.
To work here - hm... i must think twice before. It could be funnier, if i had normal job. Next year, maybe, i will choose Rhodes to work in, but only as animator. It's mine, i'm sure.
Now, i hugged goodbye all nice people i wanted to hug there, others were ignoring me, so i decided to do the same.
Now is 8:11, check-in is at 8:45. Sitting, waiting, nervous.
I never done it alone before. Always someone was near till the last second. Now, i am totally alone. I felt this feeling whole summer. I came here alone, I had some nice friendship only the last month, changing the room. All the time i was lonely, alone, and... single. This is the fact - having someone, i would be more positive, more happy, maybe with more wish to come back home.
By this summer i had received about 1700 eu. Spent about 400 eu of them, maybe more...
Think about taxi - here is close enough to my place, but it costs 16 eu !!! The little bottle of yoghurt is 2 eu, small cup of coffee is 2-2,5 eu. Life is quite expensive here.
I had nice time here, except the work time. I met a lot of people, whom i will never forget... and counting crazy idiots whom i am grateful to, because, sometimes i had really funny time looking at them.
Yes, a lot of times i was crying, i had a wish to come home earlier. Now, being one foot to Lithuania, i started to remember nice pictures from this summer... I am happy that it was with me, even if it was very hard. I had such huge experience, and also, my 'latvian' summers never were as interesting as this 'greek' one.
Soon i will meet my family and friends. The all are really waiting for me. I can't wait till i hug them.
I promised to my mom not to cry, cause it can hurt my ears in a flight. It's so hard to hold the tears.
I love Rhodes, i already miss it.
time: 8:23

time: 9:30
After duty-free shop i went to the waiting hall. Here is no internet, so waiting for Vilnius to make this post in my blog.
I bought sweet wafers - those which I dreamed to eat in greece :D I tasted them when i was working as maid, so i knew how nice it is. Now i want my mom to taste it. Oh God, i want to see her so much! I love the way she looks after eating something sweet - she looks happy! Soon i will see here happy face! Hope so.
The people around, mostly are from Lithuania, but, some of them speak latvian or english. They all are old enough, couples or just friends. Only I sit alone, as usual.
I am not nervousing, do nog know why, just i feel myself really relaxed. Maybe it because of the netbook on my knees.
The flight would be about 3 h 20 min. Maybe i will sleep. Still have no idea about my sitting place inside the air plane. I wish it is near the window. Wanna see the sky! Strange, but this summer i made not a lot pictures of places around, and i have only some pictures of me. My friends know that i have craze about pictures, so, for me it strange either that i changed my habits about this.
time: 9:35

time: 13:54
I am in vilnius !!!
I had no any ache in my ears, so today feel myself very happy!
Already met my mom. Tryed to cry, but it's not the right time to do it :))) Better to smile and hug. Now she is searching for my daddy, so, i have a little time to say "HELLO BALTICS, I AM BACK!!!"
-------
Coming back to Latvia i decided to visit my agency... Want to tell them a little story about this experience... I know that it will not change anything, but at least i will feel myself better after.

103 day
Ya... it's my 103th day in Rhodes.
Work is not hard now. Strange, but it's about 160 people there, so, we work only 3 waitresses and sometimes we have nothing to do at all... It's empty.
Colleagues asked me twice about the day of my flight, seems like they can't wait till i go home :D :D :D Manager promised to give me day-off on Sunday to buy some stuff and collect my clothes.
About my way to airport - the agency promised to provide free transfer, but manager told me that i need to pay for a cab (it's at least 15 eu that is equal to my salary for one day).
The food in hotel is more and more disgusting, sometimes we find worms in salads... The food is very fat here and not tasty. Working hard you want to eat, of course... and you eat it despite your tastes. Everybody got some extra kilos after this summer... I am not the exception... :((((
On Sunday I am going to buy some souvenirs to my friends and family. The problem is that it is very expensive for me. After all months working, and paying back the debt, i will got no more than 100 eu in my pocket... That sucks. I want to joy the people i love, but that means there would be zero left to my own needs. I am not egoist, so i will try to do everything to make them smile.
3 days left... 1 and half working days... Tomorrow i will make some pictures on work place. Want to show you how it is there :))

...until "95 day"
...Usually, the hotel pays us in 11th day of month.
Till 15.09 no one got salary.
We all were scared of being fools who work in such slavery without money... Yesterday, some people got money. I was in this ''lucky''.
As i expected, i have got the same money as they promised - 15,38 eu/day * 27 day = 415 eu.
So, about work - now the hotel is near to full, about 300 people. Restaurant is crowded all the time... We all work without day-off this month!!! Crazy time...
The people in hotel, mostly is from Poland, Sweden and Holland.
They are nice families, or just old couples. Sometimes we got tips, about 6 eu per 3 weeks.
I am sick already some weeks... angina. Here is hot enough, but the wind is very strong and cold! I bought antibiotics, trying to get better till flight back home. Feel myself a bit down.
Going home after 10 and half days.
Are you waiting ???

88 day
All my mind is about getting home...
Some days ago I was thinking about life in rhodes. Yes, it's possible to stay here and work as all this people do, 6 months - season, and other 6 to enjoy life. BUT, my own belief and plans are stronger.
I met some people who work as guide from some air companies. The work about 4-6 month in different countries. The finished guide school, and they just travel, working 4-6 hours per day, having fun, wandering around the world... They ''do not have home'', they are children of the road.
Sometimes I think that they have perfect life... It's my dream to see the world, to feel myself free, not to depend on anybody. They have such interesting life...
What about my life?
I am going to get higher education, to find good job, to work all life, to have family, to meet oldness somewhere near my grandchildren... - Do i need it?
Life is slavery, we all depend on something.
This time in Greece made me think more about things I had no time to think about...
It is 18 days till home. There I need to continue this thoughts and make decision, what to do.
Who knows what is better for me ???
To live ''standard'' life of woman, or to be free?

84 day
Today, finally, i had day off!
At night i was on the bar street in Rhodes new town. It was great! All around is so crowded, a lot of sounds, everybody was drinking and dancing...
Morning I met in Rhodes old town. Had a little walk, bought some stuff for myself and visited some cafe where got some free drinks ''from the owners'' :))) Greek people, mostly, is trying to be friendly and polite with tourists, and especially with female ones :D
But, really, you can be calm enough, cause you can walk without worries that somebody will try to ''touch'' you. Greeks are happy to do something nice to you, and they afraid to hurt you somehow. It's not only my opinion, but of course you can't be totally sure that here is no anybody who has problems with brain.
All the time i am making new friends, so have less time for sleep, cause i need to answer on all mails :D
But, i like it ! I feel myself needed!
P.S.
22 days left till home, right? ;) :D

81 day
25 days left...
On work is some changes - we work 4 waitresses on shift. When hotel is full (more than 300 people), it is ok, but now we have about 120 people. Too many employees. Manager decided to replace some people to another hotel... We still do not know who will go there.
I have not the best relationship with my colleagues. It makes me sad, and it is so hard to keep on smiling with such stuff on mind.
I am so emotional, maybe too much... When I see a child without teeth, smiling to me... i wanna cry of the beauty of this moment! I go to the kitchen to tell about it to my colleagues, but they just shout at me that they are indifferent and i need not to touch them at work... - why they just can't be as happy with such small things around as i am... ???? I always notice everything around and it makes me feel better... and of course i want to share this with others. THEY MUST UNDERSTAND ME TOO !!!
This work, so far away from home, is so hard, really hard!
It's hard to stay human.
I really try hard not to change myself in worse way...
I met a lot of nice people from a lot of countries, and maybe it's destiny, cause some of them are really useful.
I am shocked a bit with myself, cause I had so many situations where I could become crazy... but I still am OK...
If I do not think about some problems, they just disappear after some time...
soon i'll go to work, soon the same faces, same work... BUT IT'S OK ! 25 days left!!!

78 day
Yesterday I was all around island again... For this time it was one family from Russian Federation. They were so nice, took me to their car :)))
I visited ''butterfly valley'' with them - it was my dream on this island :D So, something nice happened too.
At work i feel myself very bad... psychological.
I need a support from people around me, but they all are unfriendly and closed. Or I am too tired to make them friendly.
I am too tired... wanna go home... wanna hug my mum.... wanna go home... wanna hugs...

Yesterday I had day off, one for 14 days !!! I was in Faliraki - nice place with sandy beach and nice people around. I met some Latvians there :)) Funny to hear this language in Greece!!!
At work place a bit shitty - manager is too emotional, so always hear his shouts... Sometimes to my side too... Hate it ! Greeks are too emotional !!!
You must be ready to hear something like ''you, bitch'' to you. That's not nice for managers, but it's Greeks, they are indifferent to your emotional condition... Can you imagine how hard it is to work with such strange people... Sometimes I am so depressed...
I have some new friends (tourists) now. Nice to receive letters from them with sweet words.
Again sick... wind is going to kill me... For now it's my ears! Inflammation is so dangerous, seems like my head is going to blow-up soon! Ache..
God, save me... 33 days left... wanna hug my mum... :((((((((

I am working as waitress, cause this dumb guy was fired... He still is living here, in hotel, eating with us, drinking at night, but not working - IT'S VOCATION, not punishment !!!
By the way, working more hard I feel more tired, less smiling, less talking, more zombie...
I chat with some tourists - some of them are really nice to me.
Life here is quite, slow... people live with big passion, but slow... :D
Some stuff has been changed in my life, so I am a bit confused now. That's why I have not been here for a while..
I visited some nice places on island with Yanni - the owner of one cafe. Have a lot of pictures, but so lazy to upload them...
P.S.
To Anastasia: prorvjomsja, sli6i6 ???

Again I am sick. Work place is not the best...
Tomorrow I will have day-off cause of my birthday.
Manager asked me to be on work after it without hangover :D I will not celebrate it as I could... I have no friends or family here, so I will buy a cake, vine and sitting on the beach will say ''Happy BD, Julia...''
If only angels will find me and make a nice party for me.
About work - I'm so tired to listen to sound of crashing dishes, knifes, forks, glass.... It's so sonorous that my head is going to crash like nut one day. After work I am so depressed, emotionally dead, physically dead... And woman that clean the dishes is always shouting ''GRIGARO'' (eng. faster).
I always make statistics about how many people and from which countries are in the hotel. Some weeks ago it was fool of Polish, Dutch and Swedish, whom with is the best contact. Now it's really saturated with Italians !!! But... THEY DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH!!! Oh... so hard with them...
Maybe that's why I am not as happy at work place as I was in recently. I like to talk, to be understood, to make jokes... but with Italians is like a robot's job ''BONJOURNO......./ CAO...''
I need to think about good stuff like my BD. :)))

...until "55 day"
I am still alive. I am still happy with my position, and room I live in... but...
I already am bored of beach, sun, hot air, wind...
The only one thing I understood is that I really like work with people. To work with customers, to explain, to show, to learn, to sell, to talk, to be somebody they always need to ask something.
The food here is really low quality. The cockroaches are everywhere, but some days ago it's started a season of mouses here :D
Elevator does not work. People always complains about how tough it is to bring suitcase from ground floor to up...
I am so sorry, but I can't help them...
Some of tourists complains about food, but again ''WHAT CAN I DO?''
I must eat the same shit... if they left something to us, of course... Sometimes customers eat near to everything, so we, employees, have really nothing to choose from.
Life in Greece is so slow... like ice-cream melting under the southern sun. I am melting with it.
So hard to work in this kind of condition.
And it's more hard, when somebody important to you is doing some bad stuff, and you have a lot of thoughts on your mind... Can't work...
On a work place it's better to be robot, to stay without anything personal, just ''Good evening! How many persons you are? Would you like to sit here? Great! Enjoy your meal!.........''
What happened to me ??? I am so strange now. I am trying to get angry, but I can't. I am trying to smile sincerely, but I grin like animal... No, it's not me... I need one more day-off. :-/

50, 51, 52 days
Day 50.
The same work day, as usual...
After work, at around 21:20 I was watching FAKIR SHOW near to our restaurant. It was nice, but the program for tourists is every week the same. I already am bored a bit of it... I know every action in this show... Nothing really impressing.
Day 51.
I worked two hours at morning.
My heart let me down.
Like knife penetrated inside me twice. So painful ! My heart was as small as nut, and hurt like dying. Then I could not breath for some seconds... I was so scared...
Some tourist helped me to stand up. They gave me some water...
Manager came with a question ''what happened here?'' - he always tell without emotions, like he is indifferent to everything.
I slept in my room all day and night...
Day 52.
I was working today from 7:00 until 11:00. Now I have break (as usual, it's my shift), and then I will go to work again from 18:00 until 22:00. Who knows what will be today, but I feel that again nothing interesting.....

49 day
Can you believe... It's my day off !!! Manager did it :)))))))) heeeyyeee...
I found a place ''rent a car'' and took bicycle there for 5 euro. My colleague was with me about 20 minutes, then she said that it's too difficult and she left me. I was alone all around rhodes, from 16 till 20:00. Was cool. I love to move, but of course it's a bit lonely to ride alone.
Don't rely on anyone! Here, everybody do everything for themselves.
Don't trust anybody! If they need something, they'll get it, even if it is yours.
It's so boring, so lonely here...
...this day was lived for nothing.

...until "48 day"
Can't believe it's already 48 days living here... So boring being here alone!
On work we have some new things, like - WORMS in food !!!
Some people complains about it, some don't.
I work 9 days without day off. Asked manager to give me one, he said ''you are free, tomorrow go to Latvia''. Nice guy, isn't he?
Some days ago general manager changed my room, explained that there is ''more air'' for 6 persons.
Now I live with 4 chambermaids and 1 waitress. They are calm, nice girls.
I am sick already 2 or 3 days. Got cold. Maybe too much swimming :)))
Yesterday I received a letter from one tourist. He wrote that he is in love with me and so on... I did not reply, cause a lot of WHY. Everyday I work for more than 300 people. I see a lot of faces, I speak to them all, and I smile to everybody. Maybe some of them think that it is more than smile... All the time they ask to make a picture with me. Sometimes I receive ''paper'' with something like LETS BE FRIENDS, MAIL ME...
I love my job, but sometimes I want to run away from it... Want to relax a bit... Need day off... Very tired.
Eat some medicals, like antibiotics and pain-killers. All the time want to sleep. At nights I have only 6-7 hours to do it, but seems like it's not enough! On day time I am on the beach or in the web, chatting with my family and friends (miss you, as usual).
12 days left for salary... Ya, ya, it's not salary, it's pocket money :))) But I am waiting for it all.
The weather in Rhodes is nice - about 28 degrees, windy (about 8 m/sec)...
Sitting in the café, listening to music... WANNA GO HOME!!!
but, of course I'll stay, to become stronger... Two months left! Need to wait a little. Soon is my birthday, maybe I will get older for once :D
When I'm going to make-up my mind? God knows.

...until "35 day"
I started to write here less often. Seems like nothing is changing. Everyday is the same shit.
I hate this cockroaches everywhere, I hate this dishes and glasses, I hate this people who always is shouting, I hate this place to stand on it for 8 hours...
Maybe I am to tired... I need rest.
The weather is very hot now, the wind is cool, water also. I am sick - throat and nose, head is going to blow once...
People is really friendly - I mean tourists! Not everybody, of course, but mostly I feel support and respect from Polish, Dutch, Swedish people. Romanians and Czechs are not nice... They are very rough :-/
After work I usually go to the bar near to our hotel, and there I dance and drink with ''friends''.
Some days ago the owner of cafe, where I use internet, took me to show the island! Ya, I was near to everywhere!!! The island is really beautiful ! The mountains around, blue water, green hills... The pictures are really nice! Soon I will make a gallery here, to show you all the beauty of Greece.
Miss you all!
P.S. Anastasia, I need to stay, you know, if I started this shit, I will finish it. 71 day is left, soon we'll meet again! Kisses!

Yesterday i had day-off, but did not go anywhere. I met my belgian friend and we went to the sea to meet the sunset and drink some wine. It was nice.
I got salary of 200 EU for 15 work days... Do not know if it is good or not, but I already spent about 100 EU on little stuff living here for one month...
Work is the same as usual, nothing changed.
I work as hostess, but I help waiters also to clean the tables and else.
In my work the most difficult is to stand on one place for 4 hours without any movement! After this hours I feel ache in my back, feet, neck... I feel myself very tired, but happy as well, cause the job of smiling is really motivating!
I miss my family and friends... But on work time thinking of them, counting the hours, I dream to get to my sweet, sweet home.

Can you imagine... One girl who came some days ago to work as maid, now works as supervisor !!! Ha ha... No one understands what is going on!!!
About my job - I am very satisfied. Everyday I get a lot of positive emotions!
For example, yesterday, one guy gave me a present ! He came to me, said that I am very beautiful girl, took his T-shirt off and gave it to me as a gift !!!
LOL!
I took it, washed it, and now it lies with my clothes! :D T-shirt is really nice, with lyrics like ''warpeacebeautyuglywhiteblack
warpeacebeautyuglywhiteblack
warpeacebeautyuglywhiteblack
warpeacebeautyuglywhiteblack"
Isn't nice? :D
OK. About other stuff - nothing changed.

One of chambermaids came to our restaurant and started to work there as waitress!!!
The manages is crazy, going to help everyone there! The problem is that I am sure that I deserve this position, but she does not! She never smile, she is not polite, she is very unfriendly, she does not speak english well and so on! Nothing there!!!
And she is very slow!!! Brr...
I am angry on her all the time, cause she always do wrong things!
AAA...
Ok ok... without this fact, my life in greece still is very good!
Smiling all the time, cause boys around send me compliments and so on... Nice Job.
:)))
One man asked me to take a photo of me, cause he wants to look at picture all the time! Nice??? :D

...until "24 day"
Working.
I hear ''MALAKA'' all around. This is a very bad word, but Greeks always use it :D.
I love my job, cause I feel like people need me there! I smile with wish to smile! It's the most important.
Near to my hotel I found a place where I sit in the internet for any time I need. I speak to guy working here often, so made a good friendship between us. He gives me food, drinks, internet.. for free, but I really am grateful to him!
Other places take money for everything, but he is just a kind person.
On my work place people around is a bit strange. Sometimes they talk with me, sometimes ignore.
Can't understand the reason of such strange behaviour, but the fact is.
I work on shifts, so 4 hours in morning, 4 evening. Soon will go to continue. But now, having free time, I relax... ;)

Yesterday me and my colleague were in Rhodes. It was really nice, walking on shop-streets, watching walls of ancient castle and so on... We bought bottle of sweet wine and drunk it all in one restaurant. The waiter was really nice guy. He took my phone number so we are friends now.
Today we met after my work and swam in the sea together. Was nice!!! We lied on the stones, watching stars, listening to breeze! But it does not matter. The thing is that this day was really nice, and the work was not boring.
P.S.
About job - Nothing has changed, so GOOOOOOD. Everything is cool! I am here feeling the life breathing!!! ;)

21 day
Today I got day-off. In plans is to visit the capital of this island, Rhodes City. I'm waiting for my colleague to go together. The road to the centre costs 2.30 EU to one way. I hope we will not spend any other money but for the bus.
There is not many places to look at, but the old town is beauty enough. We would make some pictures and walk around.
About life here - As in NIKOS TRAVEL agency told, we would have an opportunity to wash our clothes in the laundry of hotel, but IT'S NOT ALLOWED! So we bought washing powder and do everything by ourself.
In day-off time we have the same three times meal, so in this case it's OK.
Yesterday I walked with Dutch people again. They are so nice people! Two guys, four ladies and me had a very nice evening.
After I changed my job, I feel myself so good! For now I can say that it worth it, to come here for practice! But if you're going to be maid here - IT'S BETTER TO DIE, but not to work in this shit!
I'm going to forget this time, and start a new, better, with more fun in it, LIFE!
Really, LIFE !

I still work there!!! The best job ever!
A lot of problems with colleagues cause they still can't understand how could I change my position there. It's not their business... :))
Every evening I hold myself not to cry, but I want it so much... A lot of stuff around puss on me, and I really am sensitive!
I must be stronger! I know that life is so hard, and the future would not be easy (I already see that it can't be easy), but I need somebody to be near, to help me any time... I CAN'T STAY ALONE. I can become crazy!!!

17 day
Two days working on new place i feel myself like a white man! :D
I love to be polite with people, to smile all the time, to talk a little with visitors... It's really the best job ever!!! I do my job! I do it great!
I could not get this job, cause no any place for people from chambermaid to move to. But for me, the first job was really like a nightmare! I had talk to manager, explained him the situation and he understood me. He helped me! Such a nice guy, great manager! The real manager must care of employee problems! He was not indifferent to my problems, so the biggest THANKS to him!
About the agency ''nikos...'' - All that they promised to us - were lies! Maybe not all, but the most important things was not as they told it would be.
If you are the one, who wants to come here for practice, be careful ! 1. do not go alone! All, who was not alone, "survived". I am alone here, no one can help me... 2. you should really have good english + communication skills! 3. find out everything about the place you go to work in. 4. be ready to live in a small room with 5 people from different countries. So hard to live like that.... 5. take some money with you, cause sometimes the food here is really disgusting ! Your stomach will prove my words after some days living here... :))) ---- So, wait for the next news. For now, it's really nice time for me here!
Thank to all of you!

Today i worked in THE RESIDENCE hotel with bulgarian and albanian ladies.
It was the easiest day ever. I did really easy. They helped me as it should be. Other colleagues really sucks - they always shout, they give you the hardest work and so on... These ladies were nice.... I will ask to work with them again and again :d
After work i came to internet café and chat with my family and friends... YOU ALL are the one i have here.... Nothing else i have to be happy now... nothing

about the problem
Of course i solved this problem next day, cause the problem was not mine at all!
Stupid she !
Does not matter. I worked normally all day, and then went to sleep.
As i said, after work you have only two dreams. First - to sleep... second - to go home.
I am so sad here.... I am totally alone!
If you ever thought about going to work abroad - do it only with somebody ! Here is a lot of couples, friends and classmates! No one is as crazy as me, coming here alone.
I am dying of loneliness and sadness... It's so boring, so you do not want to see the sun, to swim and anything else... just to cry.

10 day
Today is DAY-OFF :))) I was walking around the city, making some photos, which I will upload later...
The greek guy i met yesterday was with my all this day! We were on the mountain here, near my hotel! There is a very old castle and church. Nice place!
After it we went to the beach again, having sunbaths. I am so red now, like boiled lobster :D
The sun here is so hot!!! You can lie there one hour and get red :))
Thanks to this guy for taking me everywhere :))
------
WTF!!! I have a problem now!
The manager told me now, that today was not day-off to me, but it should be!!!
It is just misunderstanding from another managers side! It's not my fault ! She does not speak english good, so maybe she mixed up something, but she told me that I have IT today !!!
Stupid she! So tomorrow, for the punishment, they gave me one more day-off without salary!
brrr.... I hate when people speak only on their native language! To live like in this world and exactly in EU, we all MUST speak at least english !!!

All day I worked in LATINO BAY HOTEL. There is a less hard work, so I had a little time to relax there. There is nice food, always a lot on a plate!
All males there likes me, so I have nice conditions there - a lot of attention from their side :D
Thanks God, I am blonde :D :D :D
This evening I was again with swedish guy from the beach. We walked so long around the town... This night we were together on the beach. It was freeze, windy...
So you see, here is not only hard work, but a very nice people and places around!
P.S.
Before the night, i met on more guy, greek, who helped me with my phone number registration! This is stupid system - when you buy sim card, you must register it with your passport in the office of your operator. So, one more male friend i got. :)))))))))))

Working as hard as usual. Nothing happened this day...
About the result of negotiations with manager - he understood my situation and told that he would help me in the nearest future.
In evening I played volleyball on the beach! I met there one nice swedish guy, whom with I went to the sea at night. It was really nice time! We talked so much, did not notice the time...
He is smart, but childish. He loves gambling, stupid games on his iPhone and so on...
His is a very attractive person, so he took a little of my soul :P

7 day
Today was the sixth day of work, seventh day of being here...
We cleaned windows in one restaurant, belonging to our hotel. It was hell again, cause it was all from windows!!! Can you imagine, all around only windows... so we cleaned them for 7 hours. The first hour we were working in reception - cleaned whole hall and rubbish bins.
We had no breakfast, as usual, and eat only at 16:30. After that stuff, you have no any strength to do anything!
I am sitting in a hall near general manager office, waiting for him to talk about the conditions here...
I know that he will not do anything. He will not appoint me to another position here... to any that is better than mine now... But hope dies last !!!
It is my the last drop here... if he will not answer on my request, i will do something worse.

6 day
This day really horrible ! The most tough day, cause a lot of "ANAHORISS", when you need to clean everything more hard, change the bedclothes, clean windows and else...
We had about 60 rooms for anahoriss.
I can't feel my feet, my spin is also burns... The mood is low. I am very depressed now.
Does it worth it to live like that ???
Now i have some times to speak to my family and friends, but i have nothing to tell them... I do not want them to be worried, cause nothing is right here!!!
Nikos travel agency lied about every little thing here! I am shocked ! Everyone who came from this agency is going to complain on it after coming back to Latvia ! So, you see, nothing is really right...

5 day
The day I cried like crazy… I started in this building (forum residence) where we, workers, live…. Cleaning the territory around, then the manager lifted me to another building, called Latino Bay. There I was working for about 7 hours…. The last hour I have got some problems with another manager who was not delighted with my work, he wanted more, so shouted at me on Greece language… My manager (of all maids) took me to another place again, to FORUM BEACH. Fucking stupid day…
No one can imagine how it is, to clean large territories of hotels, for 8 hours, sometimes more than 8.… The weather is very hot here, about 35 degree in the shadow place… on sun it is minimally 45. Some days ago it was near to 50...
Without breakfast, on a very hot land, working without any opportunity and allowance to sit for a minute…. Without normal behaviour... working with Greeks and Albanians....
After working, I came home and cried very loudly… A lot of thoughts got in my head… I want to go back to Latvia, because the work here is like for slaves.. I am not a slave!!! I do not want to be!
All people around tell ’you will get used to it, and it would be ok’ - I DO NOT WANT TO GET USED TO THIS HELL ! I deserve something more, I am sure in this.
Tried to call to my friends, but no one took answered… So that my friends are…
Something is wrong with me, because I can’t work without ’WTF’ on my mind…ha ha… And of course I have my ’sugar’ on my mind…

Again, 8:00 i need to work...
I forgot to tell the funny thing - only some people speaks English here... All others speak Greece or ALBANIAN !!! Why Albanian ? ha ha... ya... a lot of Albanians work here, without knowledge of English...
My manager, Christina, does not speak English either...
How do i understand what to do ?
This is funny story... They all speak very loudly, and sometimes i think they are shouting.. The show me on their fingers what to do, and i do it... if it is correct, they say ''bravo'', if not, than ''NO GUT''. :D
I already started to learn some greece words, to understand when and what to do...
Ya, i am maid... i need to clean the rooms, take the rubbish off, and else.. the work is really tough...
So the 3d day they took me to another building of our hotel (forum hotels has a lot of buildings around), i worked there with greece lady who just took all tips around and gave me the hardest work... than she gone, and i needed to clean floors alone. She is very crazy little bitch... Whhaah...

2 day
Second day.... working from 8:00 till 16:00. No breakfast, no any lunch... Only one meal i got in 16:10.... It was the stuff like i never seen in my life - very salted, overcooked, just very tough...
Ok, i eat it and went to the beach again, to see the sun... The sea is very unfriendly. The wind is soooo hard, always blowing like mad. I tried to swim, but i could not - the stones under foots, the wind, waves that push you off....
Then i went to another hotel to get wifi internet, cause in my hotel i have no opportunity to get it !!!
About the condition in hotel - In the rooms for MAXIMUM 3 persons live 3 - 6 people!!! The cockroaches are everywhere !!!!! The mosquitoes are around, biting like in hell...
The weather always is very nice - on sun it is about 50 degrees, in shadow places it's about 35, maybe more, maybe less....
Working for 8 hours per day, my feet burns like fire, around fingers i got corns... I feel myself so bad, like i never felt before - so tired, sad, depressed.... Hate it

1 day
The first day was OK... i had problems with vodafone mobile card, cause no one explained to me that i need to register the number with my passport in vodafone office in the centre of city.... i did not knew it, so till nowadays i am with my latvian card (roaming). I could not call to my hotel to ask for transfer, so i took a bus and for 2.30 EU i got to the centre of this city. Then i took the taxi and for 5 EU i got to hotel.
In hotel i met some nice people on the reception. Then they showed me my room (for three people). I got my time to relax....
I went to the sea and looking around walked to realize where i am.
The cars around is so crazy... they are fast and riding not by laws at all !!! They always beep when they see beautiful girl on the street - so strange to my country... at least for me.
Then, i went to sleep and the next day was my first work-day.

Tonight!
Hey! I am Julia (20). I am from Riga, Latvia. Student of business studies.
This summer I am going to work in Greece via WORK&TRAVEL GREECE program. I've got this opportunity with NIKOS TRAVEL AGENCY.
Place: Greece, Rhodes Island, Ialyssos city, FORUM HOTELS
Job: Maid, 6/7 days, 8/24 h
Salary: 400 EU/month
Conditions: living in hotel, small rooms for ~ 4 girls + food included
Speaking about all costs that I had I can only count stuff I remember:
250 LS for agency, ~ 250 LS for flight costs, ~ 50 LS for personal costs... OMG, 1 EU ~ 0.702 LS
So, you see that this journey is not paid after getting salary and all extra money....
This night is my flight from Vilnius to Rhodes. So sad, that direct flights are possible only from Lithuania. Ok, does not matter...
My suitcase still is empty, because I afraid to miss any little stuff, so collecting my bag carefully looking on a list I prepared yesterday :))
The main thing was medicine... Hope my stomach would be friendly to me, and I would not have to take anything inside of it :))))
It's my the first time on the south, and I do not know how it would be... only thing I know is that there is hot!
Whooo.... I little bit nervous :))) But my family would always be waiting for me, if anything....
