Travel - The day I met Pythagoras

It was a holiday in Greece and it was the day I met Pythagoras. =)


An excited me!

Took their public transport to Pythagorian town, upon reaching, I realised it was much more commercialised as compared to Vathi (where I stayed). Thank God I stayed in Vathi.


The statue of Pythagoras was situated near the edge of the jetty.



YAY! I met Pythagoras!


Don't despise this make-shift "poster", we met a Swedish lady who loves Mathematics as well and she borrowed our poster and we helped her to take a picture too! Hahaha. We then sat near the statue and chit chatted for good 20 minutes under the hot sun!! I enjoyed the conversation with her because I get to learn a little bit more about Sweden! Especially from someone who is senior! 

We walked around the town before heading back to Vathy to catch our ferry to Syros (which was another exciting adventure. hee)


Relax lor.

We had to take a cab back, it was the only time in my entire journey that we took a cab and it was under bo bian act and it cost us 18 euros. T.T 

Anyway! I wanna mentioned about my awesome host in Samos, we stayed in his hotel and he was more than just a service provider, we felt we were being hosted by a friend!

Though he only had a bike, he sent our luggages and us to the port! He had to do 3 trips! What really surprised me was not just this.....



He even helped us carried our backpacks all the way to the entrance of the ferry!! This kind gesture really really touched me. I was so thankful that I met so many kind souls during this trip. 

Purposeful Traveller - I may not remember the places I have went, but I will not forget the people I have met. They made this trip memorable.
